Donald Trump unleashed a foul-mouthed tirade about undocumented immigrants and predicted that this “could be the last election we ever have” if Kamala Harris wins during a private fundraising dinner this summer.
The Guardian obtained a 12-minute recording of a speech that the Republican presidential nominee gave at a dinner on 10 August in Aspen, Colorado, where attendees were required to donate anywhere from $25,000 to $500,000 a couple.
Trump devoted most of his address to border security and immigration, recycling xenophobic claims now familiar from his rallies. “Radical leftwing lunatics” want people to come in from prisons, mental institutions and insane asylums, he asserted without evidence, adding that the US was harbouring “a record number of terrorists”.
The former president insisted that “smart, very streetwise” leaders of Venezuela and other South American countries were sending murderers and drug dealers to the US to reduce their own crime rates, relieve the burden on their prisons and save money.
Trump cited a false example of 22 people he claimed had come to the US after being released from prison in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. “We said, ‘Where do you come from?’ They said, ‘Prison’. ‘What did you do?’ ‘None of your fucking business what we did.’ You know why? Because they’re murderers.”
The candidate added, “I hate to use that foul language”, apparently recognising that his use of the F-word went further than his campaign rallies. The Congolese government has said there is no truth to Trump’s statements.
The candidate went on: “These are the toughest people. These people are coming in from Africa, from the Middle East. They’re coming in from all parts of Asia, the bad parts, the parts where they’re rough, and the only thing good is they make our criminals look extremely nice. They make our Hell’s Angels look like the nicest people on earth.”
Studies show that immigrants are less likely to commit crime than native-born Americans.

Trump: “If I win the election you’ll never have to vote again”
Also Trump: “If Kamala wins this will be the last election!”
Fucking lunatic.

Does he ever explain why it would be? No modern Democrat has attempted a violent coup before, that’s a Republican thing. So what is it everyone is supposed to be so terrified of Harris doing?

Guests included the casino mogul Steve Wynn, billionaire businessman Thomas Peterffy, Texas governor Greg Abbott, Florida congressman Byron Donalds, Colorado congresswoman Lauren Boebert and former Colorado senator Cory Gardner.
Imagine paying $25,000 to $500,000 for *this* guest list.

The funniest part is when they’re all enjoying talking about 1000000000 evil migrants raping and pillaging and Trump swerves into how he personally knows four couples who hate each other in this very room. if he can’t do his bitchy act he’ll die

So now he’s using F-bombs…

It can’t be that foul-mouthed, since Trump certainly did not use the most offensive term in any language: *deplorable*.

Now to be fair, he DID get one thing right. The US IS harbouring tons of terrorists! However, the J6 trials are still ongoing, so that number is dwindling.

> Trump flew to Aspen on a Gulfstream G-550 jet once owned by Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier and convicted sex offender.
I’ll like an immigrant over Trump any day.

His unhinged and rambling rant sounds exactly like the conservative subreddit. So weird.

“You see, my very fine friends, it’s not enough to question Mexicans, Muslims, and Mudpeople. You don’t know they’re legal. It’s not just right for you to hate them, it’s also white for you to hate them. We can’t let them take away our way of life.”

We know that.
He won’t concede the next election either.

The thing that fascinates me in the worst possible way is how much these people vilify immigrants. A large portion of their base are rural types who depend on migrant workers to pick their fields.
Don’t see any Americans lining up for those jobs. Same for construction, meat processing plants and on and on.
How about the people that hire these undocumented people? Are they not part of the problem?

Who’s going to pick crops – maybe his kids?
