The president of the United States is only talking to two people whenever he speaks: white nationalists and Vladimir Putin. At this point, itβs safe to say that the president of people who are cool with you at work but wouldnβt let their children play with your kids has stopped caring about anything: decorum, political correctness, not being an asshole, you know, the things normal people consider before speaking.
On Wednesday, the most rallying president to ever rally held another klan meeting in Florida to rile up his converts, and Trump couldnβt contain himself when an audience member suggested shooting migrants attempting to cross into the United States from Mexico.

According to USA Today, Trump was doing his usual schtick in which he acts as if the United States is being flooded by migrants, bringing with them measles and fentanyl.
βHow do you stop these people?β Trump asked rhetorically.
βShoot them!β someone shouted from the Panama City Beach crowd, according to multiple news media reports.
The president of people who drive Jeeps with no tops shook his head, pointed in the audience memberβs direction and said, βOnly in the Panhandle you can get away with that statement.β
βOnly in the Panhandle,β he repeated to laughs and cheers from the crowd.
Prior to the interruption, Trump had mentioned βborder security peopleβ arenβt allowed to use weapons on migrants.
βI mean, when you have 15,000 people marching up, and you have hundreds and hundreds of people, and you have two or three border security people that are brave and greatβand donβt forget, we donβt let them and we canβt let them use weapons. We canβt. Other countries do. We canβt. I would never do that,β he said, USA Today reports.
This isnβt the first Trump has condoned or at the least not condemned violence against migrants. In November, Trump suggested that deployed U.S. troops could open fire on migrants who throw rocks and, later that month, the White House approved a memo authorizing those troops to use lethal force on migrants if necessary, USA Today reports.
AndΒ during an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity in March, the president of people who rooted for the Night King said the threat of deadly force is a βvery effectiveβ way to deter migrants, then added that the U.S. βcanβt do it.β
βWe need to defend our country. You have people pouring in,β he told Hannity. βNow, weβre capturing these people, weβre getting them. But we donβt do like other countries. Other countries stand there with machine guns ready to fire. We canβt do that and I wouldnβt want to do that.β
The other countries that the president keeps referring too are corrupt countries with phony governments that donβt have an honest voting system, or presidential term limits...Basically, all of the countries Trump idolizes.
