Donald Trump has claimed he coined the word “caravans” to describe groups of immigrants he called “murderers and rapists” in a speech in Ohio. The former president appeared to recount an earlier conversation, saying “you are not going to take these horrible convicts and other people that you have illegally released into our country and put them in trailers.” “I came up with that term, by the way,” Mr Trump claimed. “That was my term and fake news and many other terms we came up with.” “Crooked Hillary, we came to many terms,” he added. “The way Trump casually refers to immigrants as murderers and rapists is not new but remains remarkable,” tweeted journalist Aaron Rupar. “They don’t want to have these people,” Trump said, referring to the immigrants. “Many of them are murderers, rapists.”

Trump Says Supporters Are Threatened With Jail For Refusal To Impeach Him As He Warns He’s A ‘Sleeping Giant’
Former President Donald Trump on Saturday unleashed new, bizarre accusations against the Biden administration, claiming federal authorities are now threatening his supporters with decades in prison unless they agree to say negative things about him. Mr Trump made the strange claim not ten minutes into a subdued, rambling speech to a capacity crowd at the Covelli Center in Youngstown, Ohio. Ostensibly a rally in support of Ohio Senate candidate JD Vance, Mr. Trump’s remarks were instead laced with a now-familiar litany of grievances, grudges and complaints about the myriad federal and state investigations into his conduct. prosecutors in Washington, DC, Fulton. County, Georgia, and elsewhere. The twice-impeached former president accused those prosecutors and the Jan. 6 House select committee of showing “no shame, no morals, no conscience and absolutely no respect for the citizens of our country” in daring to look into whether he violated any number US laws trying to subvert the 2020 election or keeping classified documents at his Florida beach club long after his term in the White House is over.

Donald Trump helped free drug prisoners. Now he wants to execute them
Donald Trump changed Tanesha Bannister’s life. In 2004, Ms Bannister, then a 28-year-old single mother, was jailed for life for selling drugs. She was one of many mostly Black American women who were then given 100 times more severe punishment for selling crack as opposed to powder cocaine. A troubled family history and a lack of opportunities led Ms Bannister to start selling drugs when she was just 16. “I was exposed to drug use,” Ms. Bannister, now a business owner and advocate for criminal justice reform in South Carolina, told the Independent. “I felt it was a better way for me to take care of myself and my family to get into the drug game. That’s how it all started.” After serving 14 years in prison, then-President Trump signed the bipartisan First Step Act, which shortened some federal prison terms, gave judges alternatives to mandatory minimum sentences and retroactively applied the 2010 Fair Sentencing Act to eliminate racial disparities in the conviction of cocaine. The act freed thousands from prison.

Bill Clinton says GOP wins elections by finding something to ‘scare the living daylights out’ of swing voters
Former President Bill Clinton said Republicans do well in midterm elections because they usually find a way to scare swing voters. The former president appeared on Fareed Zakaria: GPS where the host asked him about whether Democrats could reverse the normal trend of the president’s party losing control of at least one chamber of Congress in midterm elections. “We could hold both houses, but we have to say the right things and we have to note that Republicans always close well,” he said. “Why? Because they find some new way to scare the living daylights out of something.” Mr. Clinton pointed to how Republicans touted “critical race theory” taught in schools even though it wasn’t, which helped them win the governorship in Virginia a year after President Joe Biden won the commonwealth by double digits . “That’s what they did in 2021 when they made critical race theory sound worse than smallpox and it wasn’t taught in any public school in America,” he said. “But they didn’t care, they’re just scaring people.”

The week began with images of Trump on Truth Social wearing a Q pin and promoting their slogans. ends with Q music and the Q ‘one’ sign from the crowd at his rally,” CNN analyst Juliette Kayyem tweeted on Saturday. Author Kurt Eichenwald added that “this week, Trump posted QAnon memes, played QAnon-themed music at his rally, and stood by as the crowd raised their fingers in the QAnon salute.
