| ▲ | tgma 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | The article you linked says 'Many have no _US_ criminal record.' That is not at all the same as not having a criminal record. |

| ▲ | archagon a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | And what, pray tell, do you think that word means? Because I saw him say it in an interview. And in other venues, too. > "I call them homegrown criminals," Mr. Trump told Fox Noticias. "I mean, the homegrowns that grew up and something went wrong and they hit people over the head with a baseball bat. We have — and push people into subways, just before the train gets there, like you see happening sometimes. We are looking into it, and we want to do it. I would love to do that." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-homegrown-criminals-forei... | | |
| ▲ | ein0p 21 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | This is called "trolling", you should look it up. Trump is a media guy, and has been for much of his life - he does this deliberately to flood the zone with something ridiculous so that attention is diverted from the more salient things. See e.g. "51st state", "Greenland", etc, etc. Protip: he's not going to do any of this, but while y'all are hyperventilating, DOGE is cutting costs, agencies are getting shut down, illegals are getting deported, nominees are getting approved, etc. | | |
| ▲ | lazyeye 17 hours ago | parent [-] | | I think you might be right. I think "flooding the zone with shit" might be the only effective response when the zone is already flooded with everyone else's shit (msm, social media etc) |

| ▲ | tgma a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | "We are looking into it" means he is looking for ways to do it [under the law], which is non-trivial for the regular US citizen. This is leaps and bounds different than "citizens are next." | | |
