At two rallies this weekend, Trump called the vice president "mentally impaired" in comments that were criticized by some members of his own party.

Former President Donald Trump said at a rally here Sunday that Vice President Kamala Harris should be "impeached and prosecuted" for her actions related to the southern U.S. border.

He argued that people were "murdered because of her action at the border, and thousands more will follow in rapid succession," adding, "She should be impeached and prosecuted for her actions."

Trump also lobbed personal attacks at Harris on Sunday, echoing comments at his rally the day Saturday, when he called Harris “mentally disabled” and “mentally impaired.”

With Harris at the top of the Democratic ticket and a tight race in the final stretch of the presidential campaign, Trump's rhetoric has escalated.

Isn't this an obvious dog whistle call for violence?

Yes, like most of what comes out of his mouth.

It would be awesome if he could just die from health problems since our system is too fucking broken to hold him accountable.

The system is working as it was designed.

It just wasn't designed for so many idiots.

It was designed for the economic elite to get away with anything up to and including murder.

It just wasn't designed for anyone else to ever have access to enough information to find out.

I don't want him to die before he gets to prison. If that happens, he becomes a martyr. He's in the ground never having faced any consequences for his littany of crimes.

Theyll use him as a political tool regardless, frankly speaking I want him to die on stage from an aneurism or stroke. But dont let ones wants to overshadow ones needs. We need him out of the picture I aint particularly picky on how it happens, though id prefer it to be due to health issues.

Dont complain that you want dessert when ya need food in general.

The world will be better off when he's gone, but that doesn't mean things can't get worse. Having him face prison, to serve his time and live with the consequences, that's the closest we have to justice, and it will be the best possible message to his acolytes.

Not pointing a finger directly at you, but I swear Trump could literally say “Go murder liberals right now,” and someone would say

Isn’t this an obvious dog whistle call for violence?

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Sure, but at that point it's no longer dog whistle.
