Does Trumps death wish comments about McConnell amount to putting a target on his back by MAGA whack Jobs?

I think you could make the case that he is certainly.

Or he is a completely ignorant to the power of his own words, which I don't think is the case but could be argued also given his history of outrageous rhetoric.

he is unfit to serve in any public office

I think that's an argument someone could attempt to make. The only problem is the fact that you would have to claim he can't see how effective that strategy has worked for him. Lie? They'll believe you. Target someone or a group via Tweet? Your fringe will attack and threaten them.

One would have to claim he's oblivious to the repercussions of his actions and I think that would be a very hard case to make.

He is fit for a prison cell

Exactly what a mobster would say to his hired hit man.

Not defending his comments but pretty much every member of congress is unfit to serve in public office, lol.

He's not ignorant of his word power.
He knows exactly what he's doing, he knows exactly what he's saying... and he knows exactly how it's landing upon the audience he's aimed it at.

He's been doing it for 40+ years.

There has always been a "type" that Donald Trump has targeted for some uber-reliable fleecing.
They be the folk who gave money to:

Trump Vodka
Trump Steaks
Trump Airlines
Go Trump ("The art of the travel deal")
Trump: The Game
Trump Magazine
Trump Ice
Trump 'University'
The New Jersey Generals


The same folk who routinely pssss away their scraped-together discretionary cash at the county fair midway, August after August after August.
Those folks who teach their kids/grandkids to do the exact same as their parents/grandparents.

If you want a visual profile of the sad Americans he's been 'jobbing' for the last half century, you have only to Google: Jan 6 photographs.

He knows his "type."
...and he knows how to talk to them.
He knows the dog whistles to blow that urge them to action.

These are the people who were so seduced/inflamed by Donald John Trump that they attacked law enforcement officers entrusted with the job of protecting Our Nation's Capitol. They erected a gallows on the steps of our seat of government, with intent to hang the sitting Vice President and targeted, specific members of congress. They invaded, ransacked America's seat of power, and even smeared their own feces upon the walls of that hallowed edifice.

He knows who "His People" are.
And so do I.

It's why my relationships with a number of Dawgtalkers has changed over the years.
I'm perfectly fine with how things have played out.

'His People' can't be 'My People.'

There can be no common ground with His People, because #Miscarriage45* cast the fight as "America v. Him."


I will side with America, every single time.

I think the term "death wish" is widely used as a term that doesn't literally mean death. It is widely used as a term for actions that can lead to failure.

But, hear what you want to hear.

Spot on Clem.

Jan 6th is all you need to see. Listen to his rallies. Look at his audience.

Listen to what his "followers" say about him. Talk about cult. Here is a flat out criminal. And those people hang on his words.

When he said "death wish" he knows precisely what that will bring to his targets. Maybe not death but extreme harassment.

Part of his playbook is branding and you are right. That is what he has done his whole life

Not hear what you what. Know what is said and the impact.

trump knows the label will bring extreme harassment. He has labeled and attacked people many times knowing what will happen.

Hell watch the jan 6 hearing and listen to testimony.

Hear what I want to hear? I simply asked a question and in typical Peen Fashion, you find a way to defend the actions and words of Trump........

A few weeks ago, Trump somehow got the names of the FBI agents that searched Mar A Lago and suddenly, they come under attack. The Judge that signed off on the order was threatened.

There is NO QUESTION that Trump does this to intimidate people into bending his way.

The Most powerful republican in congress didn't bend to Trumps every wish and he gets attacked... This is how a mob boss does things.



Hear what you want Peen, but the truth is out there if you clear your head long enough to see it.

I know what you mean.

Fair enough, you did ask a question. Your reply shows I wasn't off to assume you had your own answer. Sorry if I let the cat out of the bag before you did.

You’ve become such a donny toadie. Totally dismissing his actual words. Unreal.
donny isn’t going to invite you to dinner. No matter how hard you suck up to him.

Don't worry Port, I might not go if I did. I never said I liked the guy. I don't go to dinner with people I don't like unless it was somehow work related or they are some sort of relative and I feel obligated.

His extreme followers most certainly do. You? Maybe not so much.

Don't lie. If Trump called you'd come running.

Like this?

Typical trumpian response.. Meaningless and hollow.
