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."

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.

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)

"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."
