Trump Hates Half the Country -- and It's Not Just Rhetoric

There’s an old adage that politics ain’t beanbag. Tough talk and underhanded tactics from politicians shouldn’t send you to the fainting couch, unless it comes from the other side (and you can convince media outlets that some egregious sin has been committed — or in more concrete terms, some law has been broken).

As he’s done in every aspect of his life, Trump has exploited this cynical societal construct and completely shattered boundaries that seemingly used to exist. But he couldn’t do so without pliant partners in the corporate media who have allowed him to operate under completely different rules than other politicians — especially Democrats.

Just take his comments on Truth Social last week. In the midst of his desperate attempt to find an off-ramp for his disastrous war of choice in Iran — it’s not going well; he’s declared victory dozens of times but can’t stop bragging about continuing to bomb Tehran to hell — Trump reminded us that there’s another evil to fight.

That’s right. The president declared that there’s an enemy that rivals that of the Iranians who his so-called Secretary of War has sworn to obliterate: the Democratic Party. Did you happen to miss that story? I don’t blame you. It was hardly a blip on the legacy media’s radar.

They will not be used just for illegal immigrants - if he gets a chance they will be used on that radical left.
