It’s Official: With “Vermin,” Trump Is Now Using Straight-up Nazi Talk He’s telling us what he will do to his political enemies if he’s president again. Is anyone listening?
I feel pretty safe in saying that we can now stop giving him the benefit of that particular doubt. His use—twice; once on social media, and then repeated in a speech—of the word “vermin” to describe his political enemies cannot be an accident. That’s an unusual word choice. It’s not a smear that one just grabs out of the air. And it appears in history chiefly in one context, and one context only.
It heavily implies he’s using the funds for things other than legal defense, and notably it isn’t just Giuliani it’s the vast majority of his legal team and former lawyers.
Even at the peak of his fortune, he stiffed people if he could expect they wouldn’t sue,or sue successfully.
His Leadership PAC has money. Not as much as it did, but it’s got enough for a while. He’s been paying legal fees for certain other people too. This does not look like lack of funds. It’s just cold hard greed. And maybe spite.
Remember those are the losers who misadvised him (in his perspective).
Very true.
Sure, he can’t use it for legal defense though. That’s what he’s in trouble for now. It can be all of the above and fraud, if it has a specific purpose and he’s not using it for that then he’s committing fraud.
Sure, that’s not a legal defense though.
