Trump Tells North Carolina Crowd "We are literally a third world nation"

[Roy C]

"Literally" has been as overused -often improperly- the last decade or so, as badly as "basically" was 30 years ago.

It's a throaway...So fucking what?

Glad someone else saw that. People are using "literally" to try and emphasize their point. They think that adding that word makes a stronger case.

 

[Concerned American]

Trump has always hated America and spoken poorly of it, for the last 8 years. He should move.

Maybe you should. I hear Ukraine needs fighters. You could put your money where your mouth is.

 

[Death-Ninja]

And not one of these fascist morons will even attempt to justify any incident that is brought up. They ignore them as if that will make them go away. Wrong. We have long memories.

As if they didn't happen, or just as often that they were justified! Its an obscenity, they sent a man to prison for twenty years for hitting a couple of cops, they shot a young women dead, they did not shoot one rioting democrat attempting to storm Trump WH, and I might add that Trump had absolutely nothing to do with circumstances in Mlps MN, they burned the historic church across the street, injured a minimum of 100 uniformed agents and not fucking one of them is in prison!

Two tiers of justice is the hallmark of totalitarian banana republics!

There is LITERALLY no truth to this, so maybe Trump should stop using words he doesn't understand. I've been to the "Third World." I've stood in the middle of villages where people lived in shacks with tin roofs, none of the streets were paved, and children ran around bare foot while chickens and goats walked around the streets. There are certainly parts of our country where local governments have failed, like homeless camps, but we are nowhere close to a Third World nation.

Again, this is why Trump is floundering. Harris has a lot of flaws, but she brings excitement and hope to her rallies. Trump is all frumpy gloom and doom and he blatantly lies.

And? Let in 30 plus million illegals and have screwed elections you ARE a Banana Republic

I'll be 70 in less than a month. I'll stay here and hang out by the pool, instead, or paddle my kayak down a quiet river, as I did Mondy, or maybe catch a concert, as we are Sunday, when we go see Joe Bonomassa at the Rhyman, in Nashville.

To be fair, once the government in NYC allowed tramps, homeless veterans and others to be outside his properties...

Then I guess it's good that neither of those things are true.

Adverb addiction..."Basically" got run into the ground, so that one started going around.

If no fire, then no smoke. Trump is not the only one. Just use search engines or AI. You will finally fully understand why.

He is correct. Third world cancer is eating the country alive. It isn't so much that there are places that have slipped into third world status, it's that these regions are spreading and growing. Empty storefronts line the streets.


In areas of Oakland the fire hydrants have been stolen, one good fire will burn hot enough to take half the city

 

[skye]

Trump is right.

Yes, rural America has had empty storefronts since the 1980s.

He was trash-talking Reagan and the US in the 1980s.

 

[Moonglow]

mostly just morons that have never been out of the country

You can get Coke to drink in most foreign nations and Canada.

Not the same thing if you have ever seen these derelict cities.

I grew up in OKC yet every city I ever visited had derelict districts, it is nothing new since it involves humans.
