(90,769 posts)I've no idea what he meant. Wasn't listening.
But his bragging about killing people isn't far-fetched.

(12,475 posts)because he divides people into winners and losers in his narcissistic,psychopathic mind.
He wants the so called losers as he defines them to lose or die.

(8,062 posts)which was the Nazi excuse for gassing people with disabilities.
We're close to that already--medical care being "triaged" with people with certain disabilities scoring low on the "is this life worth the effort needed to save it?" scale.
It also echoes Trump's continual reference to his "good genes"--his membership in the Aryan "master race."
Hatred of people with disabilities is a core principle of white supremacy. In Germany neo-Nazis have been quoted telling people in wheelchairs "Under Hitler you would have been gassed."
I don't doubt the Nazis here hope for the same.

(15,805 posts)something he doesn't mean. This way he can come back and say that crazy word salad means anything he wants it to be.
The sheer brilliance of his stable genius never fails to impress.
