LAST UPDATE | 29 Oct 2024
DONALD TRUMP DOUBLED down on anti-immigrant rhetorics today, calling for a mandatory death penalty in cases where migrants kill US citizens and mass deportations, amid calls for him to apologise for a comedian’s racist jokes.
The Trump campaign this week has suddenly found itself on the back foot as the fallout continues from a rally in New York on Sunday, during which a comedian made racist jokes.
At the rally in Madison Square Garden, a comedian named Tony Hinchcliffe made a joke in which he called Puerto Rico “a floating island of garbage”.
In a segment that took aim at immigrants, and Latinos in particular, Hinchcliffe said: “There’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”
He also said that Latinos “love making babies” while talking about the number of people of Latin American origin living in the US. The Republican candidate’s campaign team has issued a rare statement of contrition following the outcry over the racist joke.
Danielle Alvarez, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign, said in a statement that the joke “does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign”.
Celebrities, political opponents, members of the Christian church in Puerto Rico and even candidates from his own party have called on the Republican presidential candidate to apologise personally for the remarks since Sunday.
At a low-energy and slow event in Mar-A-Lago, Florida today – where Trump was over an hour late – he said his opponent, democratic Presidential nominee and Vice President of the US Kamala Harris, was running on a “campaign of hate”.
Trump did not apologise for the remarks today.
He again denounced criticism from his opponents that he is a ‘Nazi’ and claimed the Democratic Party had said that Madison Square Garden had been chosen because an American Nazi organisation had held a rally at the same location in 1939.
There is no evidence that anyone from the Harris campaign or the Democratic party have made those remarks or referenced the 1939 event when speaking about Trump’s rally on Sunday.
At today’s event, Trump claimed immigrants, Harris, US President Joe Biden and elected officials from the Democratic party are ‘destroying’ the United States.
He claimed that countries like Venezuela are seeing crime rates decrease due to the number of people who are leaving their cities for the US and that immigrants are being granted illegitimate ‘legal’ status by the Government.
Many of these claims were either not followed up by evidence or have no basis in fact.
CNN stopped its broadcast because of the “number of false claims” made by the Presidential candidate. Fox News also fact-checked the former President after he had made false statements claiming he won the 2020 election after the event concluded.

Trump said, if elected, his administration will seek to imprison anyone who enters the country again after being deported for up to 10 years. “We don’t want them back,” he told the crowd.
He said his administration will also seek to impose the death penalty on any ‘migrant’ who is found guilty of murder of an American citizen or law enforcement officer.
He claimed law enforcement recruitment figures are down because police officers do not want to deal with the increasing crime rate, which he attributes to and says is as the result of immigrants.
A report from last year said that recruitment in the US police is increasing for the first time since 2020 - when Trump was last in office. Claims that the rate of violent crime is increasing in the US are false and have long been debunked.
“We gotta get them out of here,” Trump said. “We’re gonna get them out fast.”
There are have been a number of calls for Trump to apologise personally.
The Archbishop of Puerto Rico, Roberto O. Gonzalez Nieves, has written a public letter to Trump saying, “It is not sufficient for your campaign to apologise. It is important that you, personally, apologise for these comments.”
Puerto Rico’s Republican Party chairman Angel M. Cintrón has also demanded an apology from Trump. There has been a slew of criticism from well-known pop culture figures as well.
Pop stars Jennifer Lopez, who is of Puerto Rican descent, and Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin have both publicly renewed support for Trump’s opponent Kamala Harris.
“This is what they think of us,” Martin wrote on Instagram.
Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny, who appeared at a Harris campaign event on Sunday, has also shared a video on Instagram in a show of support for the Democrat.
Republican politicians have come out with statements criticising the joke too.
Trump supporter and Republican Florida senator Rick Scott, who is in a tight race for reelection against a Latina congresswoman, was among the politicians and strategists who voiced anger on X.
“This joke bombed for a reason. It’s not funny and it’s not true,” he posted, while the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, which has around three dozen members, called the rally “shameful.”
“Puerto Rico isn’t garbage, it’s home to fellow American citizens who have made tremendous contributions to our country,” Florida Senator Marco Rubio posted on X on Monday.
Puerto Rico isn’t garbage, it’s home to fellow American citizens who have made tremendous contributions to our country.

I understand why some people were offended by a comedians jokes last night. But those weren’t Trump’s words. They were jokes by an insult comic who offends…
But he also made a point to note that “those weren’t Trump’s words. They were jokes by an insult comic who offends.”
The island of Puerto Rico is a US territory, meaning it is effectively under US control, and there is a large diaspora population in the United States, notably in the battleground state of Pennsylvania.
While Puerto Ricans are technically citizens of the United States, they do not have an elected representative in the US Congress and Puerto Rican residents cannot vote in presidential elections.
Trump has his own history with Puerto Rico from his time in office, when his administration was harshly criticised for its response to the destruction caused by Hurricane Maria in 2017.

I don’t suppose that many US-based Puerto Ricans were planning to vote for him anyway. Hopefully this will seal the deal.
@Pewpew Tin: Nice one, Stephen. Give yourself a few thumbs up.
@Pewpew Tin: Stephen, a mosquito is more annoying than you. More intelligent too.
@Brendan O’Brien: Dry your eyes little man.
@Pewpew Tin: Weird question from a weird individual …
@Arcadian Productions: be more appropriate if social welfare had a look at his ‘income’…. spends day& night on here trolling with a multitude of stupidly named accounts
@Brendan O’Brien: @Brendan O’Brien: Hispanics tend to be very Conservative/Catholic, and tend to vote Republican.
I suspect that’s about to change.
Apparently Harris *was* outperforming Biden with all demographics, except Hispanic.
And Biden had already beaten Trump.
This link apparently shows that, but it won’t open for me, perhaps because I’m not on TikTok.
@Frank Mc Carthy: yeah right Buster
@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: both black men and Hispanics
@brian madden: As I understand it, Harris is outperforming Biden with Black men by 8%.
And Biden has already beaten Trump.
@Frank Mc Carthy: we need to do something Frank and help out fellow journal readers.
@Frank Mc Carthy: you would know!
@Brendan O’Brien: Hopefully more will come out to vote AGAINST him, that could make all the difference.
@Brendan O’Brien: How would you know? Do you know any? I know you’re a few and they actually recognize a joke when a comedian makes one.
I’m amazed and disgusted that anyone would vote for him
I understand the super rich. it’s all about money. I can only suppose that the greater percentage of his voters are uneducated . We in Europe, hope that Ms
Harris is the next president.
@Patricia Mc namara: Thats your option but the thing is most people in America favour Trump
@Patricia Mc namara: I’m amazed and disgusted that anyone would vote for her.
@Andrew Martin: opinion
@Patricia Mc namara: Isn’t everything about money ? Every war ,every thing we do from waking till Zzzzzz’s anyway I was talking to a Trump supporter left here in the early 80′s for Chicago ,two terms from their local “TD ” Mr Obama almost finished him ,18 months of Trumps Presidency and business was booming again and he hasn’t looked back.Yes it’s money in the pocket but not just the super rich you speak of.
@tommy bailey: Why?
@Patricia Mc namara: Speak for yourself Pat not for all of Europe
@Andrew Martin: I hope you are wrong.
@Andrew Martin: The popular vote says otherwise. Don’t let the facts get in the way an obvious lie
@Gerry Campbell: 18 months into Trumps presidency and the USA was still operating under Obamas financial policies and budget. So I guess you should thank him.
@Gearoid MacEachaidh: Not me, my friend, well someone should tell him and the traunch of people who thank Trump for their revival ?
@Patricia Mc namara: You are a sheep!!! Stop watching RTE and do some research of your own!!! Kamala Harris is useless and has RUINED American in 4 years….when you have a flat tire, you don’t drive around on it for another 4 years and hope it fixes itself…you replace the trash tire with a new working tire!!! That is why we are voting for Trump…because in the 4 years as President, he did exactly what we needed him to!!! And he will again!!! Kamala doesn’t even know how to answer the question “why should people vote for you?” herself!!! She has NO policies and NO CLUE What she is doing!!!!! The whole “orange man bad” agenda is a joke and only uneducated fools buy into it!!!!
@Andrew Martin: Last pop vote he was part of was not in his favour. Which renders your statement as incorrect.
@BrennJam: Trump will more than likely lose because of his behavior/character and disaffected former Republicans make up the bulk of the undecideds. As far as the economy is concerned the US has performed better under Biden than under Trump, Trump presided over the largest increase in the deficit (even before COVID) and in 2020 Trump told everyone that the stock market and people’s 401K accounts would be wiped out if Biden won, it didn’t happen, the DOW has reached record territory. The US had lower inflation than its neighbors and the highest growth in the G7. The only problem is that the economic growth has gone into the stock market making rich people with assets richer and you can bet Trump is not going to change that process of enriching the rich while cutting supports for the poor
@Conrad Stapletwin: facts ? Nah.. I’d put all my money on Trump with no doubts.
@smatrix mantra: I wouldn’t go by that.. Trump all day!!
@BrennJam: Can you please detail what exactly Trump did during his previous term as President that makes you support him so vehemently? You said he did what he had to do. What?
@Patricia Mc namara: speak for yourself Patrica.
@BrennJam: you trumpite will get more than you bargained for if he is elected.
@Patricia Mc namara: he was already president for 4 yeara. Maybe you missed that.
I’ll help you out … It was the 4 years that no new wars were started by the USA !
@Andrew Martin: You should do that, Andrew. Stick all your dole money on Trump to win. Let me know how you get on Nov 6.
@Shane Kinsella (Kinsey): There was violent chaos in American cities during Trump’s Presidency, under his watch, he has promised if re-elected to use the American military on American citizens he doesn’t like. When he’s finished doing that do you think he isn’t going to start flexing his aggressiveness on other parts of the world? A basic free for all around the world where every dictator will be emboldened to do the same. It’s in his character.
@Andrew Martin: yes just to confirm how utterly depraved they are
@Frank Marker: use the full context of that quote Frank or don’t use it all
@Mick O’K: Former President Donald Trump suggested using the military to handle what he called “the enemy from within” on Election Day, saying that he isn’t worried about chaos from his supporters or foreign actors, but instead from “radical left lunatics.”
“I think the bigger problem are the people from within. We have some very bad people. We have some sick people. Radical left lunatics,” Trump said told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo in an interview on “Sunday Morning Futures.”
“I think it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military, because they can’t let that happen,”
@Frank Marker: in relation to riots arson and looting? He’s not saying he’ll order the NG out for anyone protesting. Unless those protests are “mostly peaceful” of course with cars burning in the background
Awesome comment on the pager to the race baiting Hasan. It was beautiful
@another one? what’s going on is the semi state sec: Thats easy. Misogyny.
.
@Shane Kinsella (Kinsey): they still supplied the wars with weapons, and made a fortune. So much for peace.
They just cant except he’s winning, Harris is a disaster in waiting.
@087 bed:
@087 bed: “feral right” alert – shit spelling and grammar always lol !
@087 bed: They just can’t accept Trump. He’s finished. A disaster that has already happened. America is moving on. History will remember Trump as one the worst Presidents of all time. A despicable human being supported by despicable people.
@UK Hurling Bloke: plonker aren’t you uk bloke. Clown
@UK Hurling Bloke: Great to see your type losing it. and ‘your’ is on purpose, just for you.
@087 bed: You actually used “your” correctly there and didn’t realise it. That’s double dumb. LOL!
@Conrad Stapletwin: ‘your’ is on purpose :-)
@087 bed: You’re missing the point.
Imagine being offended by a comedian joke.
@Alex: Jokes are supposed to be funny. This “joke” failed that test.
@Jessie Pinkman: you reckon that’s what the crowd was made up of? Unusual type of person to support trump
@Alex: That was a joke? Jaysus.
@Jessie Pinkman: yer Ma.
@Conrad Stapletwin: it was funny because it’s actually the harsh truth
@Alex: the rally crowd groaned at the jibe. Even Trumps crowd didn’t laugh
@Alex: Funny to racists and bigots most probably. Pathetic to the rest of us.
@Conrad Stapletwin: I am thoroughly enjoying your meltdown
Joke? Xenophobia and insults are not very funny!
@Padraig O’Brien: Insults aren’t funny? Have you ever been to a comedy show?
@FlipBip: You said the most important thing….comedy show. This was a political rally.
@Michael B: Learn to read. I didn’t say that it was a comedy show.
@Padraig O’Brien: ah come on. they are funny. I’ve never heard a bad Jew joke.
That’s the least of things he needs to apologise for and hasn’t. What would be the point at this stage. There’s nothing he can say or do that will impact him.
@Liam Byrne: He hasn’t won yet.
@Liam Byrne: What an uneducated comment!!!! He is held accountable for things he hasn’t done never mind things he has!!!! The Democrats have spent 8years crucifying and persecuting him because he is a political threat to them and nothing more!!! He didn’t make the joke…so why should he apologize?? Would you apologize for somebody else’s opinion?? Anyway Puerto Rico is a dump!!! Why get offended by the truth?!?
@Keith Butler: We know facts are difficult for the far-right, but do try to read this carefully.
1) There has been 1, yes 1, assassination attempt on the Fascist Pervert
2) That attempt was made by a US Republican, with a weapon only US Republicans believe should be legal
3) The second person arrested made no assassination attempt, but also seems to be far-right
4) There is no indication at all that the third person arrested had any intention to do harm at all. And that person is also another far-right wingnut
All offering further evidence that far-right US Republicanism engenders mental illness.
@Liam Byrne: name one thing Liam. Come on rattle that little head of yours and actually come up with one thing he has to apologise for ?
……… Total silence from Liam so.
@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: but it’s the left that are anti free speech, curtailing freedom of speech and expression literally is fascism. Any freedom loving person would vote trump over Harris.
@Keith Butler: That’s bollocks, Keith.
@Keith Butler: did you fact check that? LOL. You’re oblivious to the fact that the two arrested shooters were white Americans who are Republicans.
@Keith Butler: and you prove.yet again that the repugnant Republicans cannot master simple english.
Ffs, the man is in pain. It’s barbaric to allow a senile old man do this to himself. He should be at home with the feet up watching Columbo.
@Louis Jacob: is Joe Biden fit for office?
@Mick O’K: Nope but he had a reasonably good 3 years in office
@Jessie Pinkman: …instead of onstage s41tting in his nappies.
@Mick O’K: Yes. Joe Biden is one of the most successful Presidents in recent times. His incredible record speaks for itself. The likes of you spreading lies and misinformation won’t change that fact.
@Louis Jacob: then why is he still the president
@Mick O’K: Because he beat Trump in 2020.
@Frank Marker: ok Frank but the context of the question to Louis is Joe Biden fit for office, he replied No. so I’ll ask you the same. Is he fit to run for office is yes why? If no why?
@Mick O’K: Joe Biden is regarded as one of the better US presidents so far, with his standing improving as his policies begin to have greater and greater effect.
Trump is regarded as the worst.
Biden is entitled to retire, and does not need your permission.
@Mick O’K: When President Lyndon B Johnson in 1967 said he didn’t want a second term, he didn’t step down right away, he finished his term. LBJ was way behind in the polls and had already competed and won the New Hampshire Democratic primary before he announced he was not going to seek another term. Likewise Biden can finish his term, he is not running in 2024 because he explicitly doesn’t want Trump to win another term in office and letting someone younger run against Trump was a better strategy to prevent Trump winning. It’s a perfectly rational reason.
@Frank Marker: in his address to the nation Biden said “I feel like I have done enough to merit a second term” and 14 million delegates agreed with him. Right up until the debate the MSM agreed with that too. The very minute they couldn’t hide his cognitive decline they threw him over board. That’s just plain to see for anyone with eyeballs in their head. So if you can’t acknowledge that Frank I don’t know what to say to you. His cognitive decline cost him his reelection bid. Remember he was shouting shortly after the debate, “I’m not going anywhere” until he was
@Mick O’K: He is entitled to retire, and had earned his retirement.
But I do agree that he has earned a second term, should he have decided to continue.
Come now, admit it.
The only thing driving Trump Fascists mad is that he will be beaten by a woman.
He will be beaten by a Black person.
And, worst of all, Pervy wil be beaten by a Black Woman.
How will you cope?
@Mick O’K: Politicians will invariably say they deserve to be re-elected even when they are stepping down. Biden stepped down because he was eventually convinced it was the best way to prevent another Trump re-election. I don’t know why you want to continue harping on about it. It’s not against the law or a constitutional requirement for a political party to have to abide by party primaries if the candidate steps down.
@Frank Marker: if he’s not congenital fit to run again as was evident in the debate and on numerous occasions over the last 18 months, how in the name of all that is holy is he congenitally fit to still sit in office Frank. Do you think his cognitive abilities are still fully intact?
@Mick O’K: No more than Ronald Reagan was towards the end of his second term and GOP conservatives have always regarded his Presidential tenure as messianic.
@Frank Marker: at the end of his tenure probably yes but that’s not an answer to the question Frank and you know it
@Frank Marker: so neither you nor Louis will answer
@Mick O’K: My answer is that he is fit to finish his term, I think he would be fit to serve a second term also, but the chances of him winning that second term to keep Trump out of the Whitehouse was not as secure letting someone younger run in an election campaign against Trump.
Oversensitive lefties can’t take a joke. More news at 11.
@FlipBip: well, you’re just a piece of s h x x so you’d know all about it lol
@Alan: Just like your dad.
@Alan: Good one, Alan.
A quick google search will show that Porto Rico actually has a problem with rubbish disposal at the moment. But god forbid a comedian makes a joke about it. Be that joke funny or not. Jokes were told about Mexicans at a Harris rally, should we be offended for that too?
@Mick O’K: Trump gets to be lawless, Harris has to be flawless. We get it.
@Jack Hayes: do jokes hurt your feelings jack
@Mick O’K: Do you just “google search” everything before you spout your hate filled lies and nonsense? You must one of those poorly educated types your cult leader claims to love.
@Mick O’K: He has insulted Latino voters, no question, the tone was completely wrong. Trump’s main reason for holding the rally in New York was not to win NY Electoral college votes for the Presidency, Harris already has a double digit lead in New York. His main objective was to hold on to some very vulnerable congressional seats in New York that were won in the 2022 midterms. If Trump loses the election but Republicans get to still control the House of Representatives Trump may have an option to use Mike Johnson to overturn the election. The Puerto Rico joke and the way it was used by a seemingly privileged white MAGA Republican was disastrous and could cause the GOP to lose control of Congress.
@Frank Marker: what I said about PR is true, he made a joke about that. Bad for his campaign sure it is. A joke about Mexicans being thieves was made at a Harris rally, nothing in the news about that though. That’s also true. Both campaigns made mistakes on this issue but the melt down over the Trump rally is typical of the MSM
@Mick O’K: But context is everything. A Mexican joke by a Mexican American comedian is totally different. Just like a self deprecating Irish joke by an Irish comedian. Clearly different in context and a huge error in judgement a week before an election. The misogyny and the vitriolic was excessive too. The winning strategy would have been to focus on “do you feel better off now than four years ago?”. Trump could have said just that one sentence and walked off and it would have been a success, but instead the media and his opponents have an open goal to attack him.
@Frank Marker: if they spend the last week of the election cycle crying about jokes, bad jokes then America really is finished
@Mick O’K: They are highlighting the character of this candidate, that he would allow this on his platform and even now still not see the significance of it or be in the least bit apologetic about it. It’s yet to be determined if there are consequences, how many votes he loses, I am thinking those who actually got a kick out of that bad joke were already voting for him.
The Traitorous Fascist Pervert will be experiencing his own Puerto Rico soon enough.
The courts of Georgia will be the gateway to the RICO charges he is facing.
Unless he skips when he loses.
@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: But he aint gonna lose, how many times have you to be told!
@Jessie Pinkman: Trump is facing RICO charges in Georgia.
RICO – Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organisation acts – were brought in to take down the Mafia.
You don’t have to like it.
Tony Hincliffe is the funniest comedian in America at the moment. His jokes were mild.
@Paul Gaffney: exactly. If you’ve ever been offended by anything don’t listen to this guy. He like Chappell in that regard.
@Mick O’K: Right-wing “comedy” is about as funny as a terminal diagnosis.
@Conrad Stapletwin: dave chapell and right wing comedy.. Are you feckin delusional
Trump should be in jail
Thank goodness Trump will be President again the world needs rid of the absolute toxic democrats.
@Trump24: dream on.
@Patricia Mc namara: It’s over he is miles ahead is basically unbackable on the markets
A new exit poll has just dropped from CNN.
This is an exit poll of Arizona, one of the battleground states. As far as I know, this is the first exit poll of this state.
Registered Republicans had outvoted registered Democrats by 22%, at the time of the poll.
So far.
Harris leads the Fascist Pervert by 9% among these early voters, according to this poll, suggesting registered Republicans are voting Democratic.
Still 8 days to go.
@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: CNN . You’re joking right ?
The actual polls (latest was 2 hrs ago) have Harris 1 point ahead in Arizona.
Ain’t looking too good for her at all.
@Shane Kinsella (Kinsey): That’s not an exit poll though is it?
An exit poll should be the most accurate poll available at this stage.
It is not trying to estimate how people might vote, it is a poll of those who have *actually* voted.
This poll from CNN follows on from earlier *exit* polls in Georgia, North Carolina and Wisconsin by Marist.
All had Harris ahead by 10%.
But why do you find this surprising?
Trumpy lost the last election.
And has been losing support ever since.
Republican groups such as the Lincoln Project have been established to oppose him. 38% of Nikki Haley supporters have indicated they won’t support him or are voting for Harris. Republican leader after Republican leader have come out against him and have endorsed Harris.
On top of these and other Republican Never Trumpers, he has enraged WOMEN.
How do you think that is likely to go.
And now Puerto Ricans.
And Hispanics in general.
So, again, can you explain to us how a loser who has been losing the support of more and more groups can win the next election?
Outside the fetid imaginings of the far-right that is.
@Shane Kinsella (Kinsey): “ain’t” spot the yank
@Shane Kinsella (Kinsey): Tell me again how you don’t understand the term margin of error in polling data.
Do you people realise you you are living on stolen land. America belongs to the first nations. So as guests try to behave.
@Jessie Pinkman: HISTORY. BUT THEN THE TRUMP TROGLODYTES.DO NOT READ DECENT BOOKS.
@Jessie Pinkman: tut tut
Dreadful english.
@Patricia Mc namara: tell me you don’t know how being conquered works. Different tribes fought and killed each other for centuries over land there. Then Europeans arrived and did that to them. Here’s some free information its happened in every country in the world since Jesus was a lad and long before then too
@Mick O’K: I thought Christians didn’t believe in murder and stealing?
@Patricia Mc namara: People living on stolen land? There is no country on earth that wasn’t stolen from its previous inhabitants. If you don’t know that, you don’t know history
@Frank: Iceland?
Falkland Islands?
Ireland?
…
@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: Iceland: Irish settlers lived there before the Vikings. Ireland: (you must be joking) Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Celts, (the builders of Newgrange were none of those) Falklands: not a country
@Frank: So?
Did they populate the entire island of Iceland?
No!
Right?
Yes many came here after the first few families.
Doesn’t mean the Irish were eliminated now, does it.
As far as the Falkland Islanders are concerned, those islands are their country, their homeland.
Who are you to deny them that?
@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: Irish settlers in Iceland were actually eliminated. As regards Falklands, I’m not denying them their own country. You’ll have to take that up with the UN
The Fascist now claims he is “the opposite of a Fascist”.
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-opposite-of-a-nazi-claim_n_6720b73ee4b0dd72996c9eb2
Of course the opposite of a Fascist in the American understanding of those terms is a Communist.
This guy is really dumb.
As if we needed any further confirmation.
Trump’s dad, Fred, – the turd doesn’t fall far from the anus – attended that US Bund party (US Nazi Party) rally in Madison Square Gardens in 1939.
He was arrested there.
@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: the opposite of fascism isn’t communism. Everything that isn’t fascist can be the opposite of it, even republicans. Fascism is impossible in the US as you would need a single party.
@Alex: There were multiple parties in Germany.
Until Fascism.
@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: Tell me how the US will switch to one single party ? I will be glad to eat your useless arguments because it’s impossible.
@Alex: hear*
@Alex: The Nazis managed it in Germany.
Why do you think they couldn’t do the same in the US?
Tell me where the Democratic Party, or any other, is mentioned as protected in the constitution.
Not that constitutional protections matter a jot to fascists.
Fascism is a far-right ideology.
Americans believe Communism to be a far-left ideology.
@Alex: It’s a two party democracy and you don’t think that couldn’t easily be whittled down to one. As Trump said, vote for him and you won’t have to vote again, that is all sorts of messed up.
@Brian D’Arcy: use the full context of the quote or don’t use it at all
@Mick O’K: Awww!
You don’t like it when you think others behave as you do.
Trump is a sex offender a dangerous man he should be in jail and never be allowed to hold any government job and all his pensions and rights of a ex president removed
Trump is a cognitive cripple.
During the Joe Rogan car crash interview Trump claimed “I was on Oprah’s show last Thursday or Friday last week”. The Oprah Winfrey show ended over a decade ago.
This poor excuse of a human being can’t even remember where he was a few days ago.
His mind is mayonnaise.
Trump is a s-x offender
@Anthony Ross: Like your dad, and here you are. The fruit of it.
@Alex: He is a secks offender tho
USA … please, people Trump is a dangerous derailed man, he’s a hater of many, endorses violence and will do nothing but fan the fires of racism and misogynie , the guy belongs in a secure medical unit, for his sake and that of the world please don’t vote Trump !
@John McG: well said. I fear for the world.if that.. subhuman is elected.
@John McG: There would be the hope (if Trump does win re-election) that he will mess up so completely that even right-wing media won’t be able to run cover for him, that his supporters will suffer economically enough to come to their limited senses and that the entire MAGA/QANON travelling circus will implode in self-recrimination, etc. Given that it is America….that’s still a long shot.
Imagine getting offended by a gay comedian.
Don’t know how some of you people even get dressed in the morning.
‘Murica is poised to anoint the Trump/Musk/Bezos administration – an outfit that openly declares a portion of its citizens as “garbage.” Is it only my imagination or is this reminiscent of the Third Reich designation of Jews, Gypsies and gays, all of whom were German citizens?
@Ed Ruttledge: waffle
@Ed Ruttledge: nothing at all like the third reach. Now experiments to change the sex of children and the indoctrination of school children into an evil perverted trans ideology, that is dystopian and evil. That’s Harris’s future for America, perverts teaching evil to childre and cities over run with criminal illegals. Trump will win hands down.
@Keith Butler: Way to show the World how gullible you are.
@Keith Butler: Oh my God! You’re right after all. The trans operation medical team are outside my front door right now. Someone has designated me for one of their 30 minute ‘quickie’ gender re-assignment surgeries. I’m going to climb out my bathroom window and run like hell. You keep the torch burning for me and warn people. Warn them before it’s too late. They’re coming for you next!
@Numinous20111: wow! Mocking children being mutilated, you are indeed a piece of work.
Ah, sure, as long as they have the red caps doing their cousins with no teeth, they’ll be fine….
Tony Hinchcliffe makes yet another bad and not funny joke, but instead of him being held to account, they try to claim Trump is somehow culpable and endorses the sentiments expressed?
I doubt if Tony Hinchcliffe knew what he was going to say at the event, much less Trump. Anyone that has watched clips from his Kill Tony podcast knows that he ad libs the majority of what comes out his mouth and though some of it is really funny, a lot of it isn’t, but the live crowd and viewers of kill Tony are not looking to be triggered…
@Dvsespaña: Actually, you are bang wrong. Trump runs the rally, and as such is responsible for it’s output. Tony Hinchcliffe was technically a guest and Trump failed to control him. Read the small print in the cone-tract….Fannies!
@Dvsespaña: His entire set was on a teleprompter for him to read.
Are you real trying to pretend that the content of his set was not approved?
@Setanta O’Toole: trump runs the rally? Braindead
@Shane Kinsella (Kinsey): Imagine my shock when that post went over the most intellectually challenged poster on the journal’s head.
Two sides are as bad as each other.
The Americans are welcome to this unadulterated plonker
I can not wait for him to loose it will be a good day when
@Karen Marten: Don’t be too triggered when he doesn’t “loose”. You will have a miserable four years I fear.
What does it say about America when you see a man like Trump peddling nonsense, while having his fragile ego massaged along the way . He and Harris , are both at the mercy of the political classes and lobby groups that bankroll their run for office . The whole thing is a grand charade..
Expected behaviour from the Xenophobe.
Based and redpilled
To be honest I couldn’t really give a monkey’s who wins, it’ll make no difference to my life…… But at the same time it would be great to see all the Leftie fairies on here going into meltdown :)
@Regular John: Will you take as much enjoyment from the reaction of the delicate petals of the right of Trump loses? You don’t care either way so surely you will have an equal reaction, unless of course you are a Trump head.
@Sun Rise:
Lol, I don’t think it’s the right that are the “delicate petals”, my comment has obviously upset one petal already ! Really, I don’t understand our obsession with American politics but it’s the looney lefties on here that will cry like spoiled children if Trump wins.

@Glass Block Co: Bot?
People of Ireland apparently want never ending wars in Ukraine and the Middle East because they love the Democrats support of the regime in Iran and the Antisemitism and hatred they have for Israel.
Or they just have severe TDS.
@Ulick: we Irish are on the side of justice. We do not hate Israel
We hate the war crimes..
have your say
