Trump fan suggests US pay people to kill border crossers for sport

Still, others said they had plenty of advice for the man they regularly identified in conversation as “Mr. Trump.”

“Hopefully, he’s going to sit there and say, ‘When I become elected president, what we’re going to do is we’re going to make the border a vacation spot, it’s going to cost you $25 for a permit, and then you get $50 for every confirmed kill,’ ” said Jim Sherota, 53, who works for a landscaping company. “That’d be one nice thing.”

These people can't wait for the day they can call open season on anyone who is not white. So sad. 😿

Trump, like she did, is making it "okay" for these knickledraggers to voice every vile, bigoted, insane thought in their heads.

But he came out of the gate trying to appeal to the basest of desires of xenophobic white people (the Republicans' real base) and it has worked for him. As far as they're concerned, they don't care if he really doesn't know anything about government. He hates who they hate. That's good enough for them.

Every time Trump shoots himself in the foot, I think that's it for him. He's done. But he comes out smelling like a rose and even more popular than before the gaffe. I seriously thought it was the end of the road for him after his sexist remarks in the debate. I thought he might have lost a lot of female voters then. Not so, apparently.

That's the part of the plan, appalling as it is, that T Rump will say, "Now just a moment, before we reject this bounty-hunting lunacy out of hand."

And to what desert island should we send them ASAP?
