He bragged that he could openly shoot someone on 5th Avenue and get away with it.
To be clear, he is every inch the psychopath Ted Bundy is, and other infamous psychopaths are, but without the high IQ which is often a feature. In fact, Donald is an idiot, and shows such a huge dimension of ego-soaked narcissism he fails to understand he is an idiot. It doesn't matter because he has always had privilege.
By bragging about having an ability to murder without consequence if he were do do so, he is telling on himself. He already is a murderer and to date has gotten away with it.
We have no idea how many murders he is responsible for, but I would guess there are more than a few.
The Epstein files are coming out in bits and pieces and they reveal he is responsible for the death of at least one infant, and some girls. If you take into account his history of conduct slowly revealing itself from under his well-used tactics to camouflage it, these deaths are likely the tip of the iceberg.
It is possible he is responsible for the deaths of his first ex-wife as well as Epstein. We know he was in New York around the time Ivana was found dead and it was very convenient for him that she died. Ditto for Epstein. What luck! Donald was to accompany his top casino executives on a helicopter before declining to board at the last minute, and then using the crash as PR to promote himself as lucky. He could have died! Poor him. He milked it then as he milks his near misses now. He is an amazingly lucky guy!
Donald is responsible for the deaths of many others. At least when his three top casino execs died he issued statements saying how his heart goes out to their families (yeah sure), but what of the fisherman who were blown out of the water on his orders, those who died due to Covid-19 largely due to his malfeasance, or all the people who have died in his camps or at the hands of his ICE goons?
He has openly called for the death penalty for innocent people (think Central Park 5) and execution for political opponents including his own VP.
Now we have the deaths of close to 200 little Iranian girls in elementary school and many others due to his military actions.
More will come.
When he tells you who he is--believe him: "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?"
We need to end his lucky streak.

The death toll from a missile strike on a girls school in southern Iran has risen to 165, according to state media.
The IRNA news agency also cited a local prosecutor as saying that 96 people had been wounded in Saturdays strike in Minab.
The strike on school appears to be the worst mass casualty event of the US-Israeli-led bombing campaign on Iran so far.

Video and photographs of the aftermath, which have been verified as authentic and geolocated to the site, show hundreds of people gathered around the partially collapsed and smoking building, with rubble strewn across the street and men digging through it for victims. Screams can be heard in the background. In some of the images, schoolbags and textbooks are being pulled

We must stop this before more die.

Justice matters.

(112 posts)I'd not heard of this before. Sounds less like murder and just more of Donald being trash.
from https://www.timesnownews.com/world/us/us-news/trump-helicopter-crash-1989-article-153714170
Former Village Voice reporter Wayne Barrett, in his book Trump: The Greatest Show On Earth, wrote that Trump did not hesitate to use [the crash] for personal advantage, alleging that he planted stories suggesting he had almost boarded the helicopter even though Barrett claimed Trump had never ridden to Atlantic City on a chartered helicopter, preferring his personal Puma helicopter.
In Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump, author Harry Hurt also questioned the account. Hurt alleged that Trump sought to capitalize on the tragedy for publicity, claiming that during a phone call with a reporter, Trump said: You're going to hate me for this but I just can't resist. I can get some publicity out of this, before telling the reporter he had nearly gone on the flight.
