Unfortunately the press and the peanut gallery have it very wrong on this one.
Deliberately. Comparing it to the Purge rather than the Kristallnacht gives the majority of people who only read the headline the wrong idea about what he actually meant, which derails the discussion towards “crazy old man says another crazy thing” rather than “crazy old fascist says another fascist thing”.
In Australia you can buy permanent residency, which is then a pathway to citizenship.
The article doesn’t even mention the best part, that Fox News realised what was going on and removed the stock ticker soon afterwards.
I am absolutely convinced that Trump’s entire election strategy was to just coast to victory on “Biden old” and “I got shot”. By the time of the republican convention he was confident that he had it in the bag and didn’t need to keep trying, so when Biden dropped out it completely shattered his plan and he’s got nothing to replace it. He does not have the cognitive ability to pivot against Harris/Walz and his ego is way too big to actually listen to his campaign strategists (if he even has any that aren’t just yes men).
* this should not be interpreted as complacency. It is definitely not a sure thing that Harris will win
He’s already earned a page in the history books, might as well make it a whole chapter.
