Trump Wanted To GAS Immigrants

[Me.]

Remind you of anything? This should be being screamed all over the airwaves

Miles Taylor, the former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security, joined Rick Wilson and Molly Jong-Fast on this episode of The New Abnormal to share the eye-watering tales of what Trump is really like when the cameras are switched off.

“When it came to the border wall, Trump would dream up “sickening” medieval plots “to pierce the flesh” of migrants, rip all the families apart, “maim,” and gas them, Taylor claims. “This was a man with no humanity whatsoever,” Taylor says. “He says, we got to do this, this, this, and this, all of which are probably impossible, illegal unethical,” Taylor recalls, but he was writing them down as the president spoke. “And he looks over me and he goes, ‘you fucking taking notes?’”

Thanks for posting the thread. I’ll share it on FB.

7. Does that include his wife?

[lagomorph777]

8. No surprise - he also gassed protesters for a photo-op.

He needs to be sent to a Gitmo dungeon.

9. If he gets another 4 years this might be the fate of those who spoke out against him

Maybe the Putin method of poisoning or ordering his militia types to go out and shoot liberals.

11. If RE-Elected...Will It Become "First They Came For the Immigrants"?

[Kaiserguy]

34. Then they came for the Democrats

and the Republicans would be happy to see all of us dead. We all have seen the pictures of southern lynching with all of the smiling people watching. Todays GOP would be doing the same thing as we are being murdered.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

12. Evil, fascist piece of shit!

I'm honestly not too surprised by it, though. Trump has revealed his character many times, not making it too hard to fill in the public omissions.

14. Shades of the 1920's.

Using Zyklon B on Mexican immigrants for “delousing”.

Our use of it gave Hitler the idea.

[dalton99a]

15. +1. A fact seldom mentioned

[Me.]

17. Wow

I never knew

[dalton99a]

19. Not many people know the connection

As David Dorado Romo describes it in his marvelous Ringside Seat to a Revolution: An Underground History of El Paso and Juárez: 1893-1923 (Cinco Puntos Press, El Paso), Zyklon B became available in the United States when, in the early 1920s, fears of alien infection were being inflamed by the alarums of the eugenicists, most of them political “progressives.” In 1917 Congress passed, and President Wilson–an ardent eugenicist and pro-sterilizer–signed, the Immigration Act. The Public Health Service simultaneously published its Manual for the Physical Inspection of Aliens.

The manual had its list of excludables from the US of A, a ripe representation of the obsessions of the eugenicists: “imbeciles, idiots, feeble-minded persons, persons of constitutional psychopathic inferiority [homosexuals], vagrants, physical defectives…anarchists, persons afflicted with loathsome or dangerous contagious diseases…all aliens over 16 who cannot read.” In that same year Public Health Service agents “bathed and deloused” 127,123 Mexicans at the bridge between Juárez and El Paso.

The use of Zyklon B on the US-Mexico border was a matter of interest to the firm of Degesch. In 1938 Dr. Gerhard Peters wrote an article in a German pest science journal, Anzeiger für Schädlingskunde, which called for its use in German Desinfektionskammern and featured photos of El Paso’s delousing chambers. Peters went on to become the managing director of Degesch, which supplied Zyklon B to the Nazi death camps. He was tried and convicted at Nuremberg. (In 1955, he was retried and found not guilty.)

In the United States, the eugenicists rolled on to their great triumph, the Immigration Restriction Act of 1924, much admired by Hitler, which would doom millions in Europe to their final rendezvous with Zyklon B twenty years later. By the late 1940s, the eugenicists were mostly discredited, but the Restriction Act, that monument to racism, bad science and do-gooders, stayed on the books unchanged for forty years.

21. This Is So Shameful

[RussellCattle]

32. Holy shit! I try to learn something new every day. On a good day it's something uplifting...

....but today I am just appalled. Damn.

[Rstrstx]

41. Never knew about this, fascinating

To be clear, the US was using Zyklon B on the clothes of people entering from Mexico, the people themselves were only being stripped naked and sprayed down with gasoline or kerosene. Stunningly the disinfectation programs were not discontinued until the late 50s, which by then they were using good ol’ DDT.

This whole story lead me to an incident I had never heard of, the Bath Riots of 1917, when a Mexican worker crossing from Juarez to El Paso refused one of the disinfecting baths and it led to several thousand demonstrators protesting on the border.

The idea of people from Mexico being lice-ridden lasted for years; my grandmother would speak of the little “Mexican children” who had lice in grade school.

20. Thanks for sharing that.

Apparantly is caused massive riots:

16. The New Abnormal podcast...

https://play.acast.com/s/the-new-abnormal/whitehouseinsider-trumpwantedtomaimimmigrants

At least he's MORE STUPID than Hitler, so maybe his mental incompetence will help prevent his worst desires?

Around the 17-minute mark of the podcast, Taylor describes how Trump wanted cost estimates to put a moat along the wall too... and to fill it with alligators and snakes!

In addition to the basic insanity of it, did he think medieval moats were like a freakin' Pink Panther cartoon?!

Taylor also reminded the interviewers that Trump has his finger on the nuclear button.

[Grokenstein]

18. Cartoons are probably one of the very few things that hold his attention, so...

[LymphocyteLover]

23. trump supporters will totally agree these are good ideas but then deny he ever said it

and deny that he's a racist psychopath

[ffr]

24. Every time if hear of the next impeached tRump atrocity I want to quit my job on the spot

The people I work for support this evil. Therefore, they must be evil too. They share his evil heart. It makes me speechless.

[Kaiserguy]

38. Sadly a lot of our fellow citizens

share in Trump hatful evil. If we don't defeat and destory the GOP soon or later they will destory us and everything decent in America

[world wide wally]

25. Fuck you,, Trump

Are you taking notes?

[Skittles]

31. Trump taking notes?

[VA_Jill]

26. HOLY SHIT!

[calimary]

27. OMFG!

[magicarpet]

28. The idea of gassing undesirables,...

In early 1942, the Nazis began using Zyklon B as the preferred killing tool in extermination camps during the Holocaust. They used it to kill roughly 1.1 million people in gas chambers at Auschwitz-Birkenau, Majdanek, and elsewhere.
