During the election campaign, Donald Trump is once again intensifying his agitation against migrants. US President Joe Biden is also getting his fat.
Washington, D.C. – Once again Donald Trump goes over the top verbally. The presumptive Republican candidate for the 2024 US election has once again referred to immigrants who are in the US illegally as “animals”. In an election speech in the state of Michigan, Trump listed several criminal cases involving immigrants living in the country illegally.
As in the past, he warned of violence and chaos in the USA if he does not win the presidential election on November 5th. "The Democrats say, 'Please don't call them animals, they're people.' I say, 'No, they're not people, they're not people, they're animals,'" Trump said. South American countries deliberately sent their criminals to the US, the 77-year-old claimed.
Trump warns: USA will “cease to exist”
Trump continued: “We will stop the looting, the rape, the slaughter and the destruction of our American suburbs, cities and communities.” If re-elected, he would seal the border on his first day in office. “And we will begin the largest deportation operation in the history of our country,” the Republican said. At the same time, he warned that the country would “cease to exist” if he was not re-elected president.
Donald Trump is known for hateful statements and dehumanizing language. He regularly uses radical rhetoric, uses hateful and dehumanizing language, makes racist statements and incites against minorities. In his campaign speeches, Trump often says, without providing evidence, that illegal immigrants have escaped from prisons and "insane asylums" in their home countries and are fueling violent crime in the United States.
Trump against Biden: “extreme rhetoric”
What Trump says is in stark contrast to what experts say. According to their assessment, people who came to the USA illegally are no more likely to commit violent crimes than native-born US citizens. “Donald Trump uses extreme rhetoric that promotes division, hatred and violence in our country,” said the communications director of US President Joe Biden's election campaign, Michael Tyler, to journalists on Tuesday before Trump's speech. “He emboldens white nationalists and cheers on the disgusting behavior of the far right,” Tyler said.
Joe Biden was also the target of Trump's attacks again. The Democratic president was accused of causing a “bloodbath” with his border policy. Trump claimed that Biden's lax migration policy was confronting America with an "invasion" of criminals from other countries.

Trump speaks of “bloodbath”
Under Biden, every US state is a border state and every US city is a border city, the incumbent's likely challenger said at the beginning of November. “Because Joe Biden has brought the carnage, the chaos and the killing to us from all over the world and dumped it right in our backyards.” Only recently did he use the term “bloodbath,” which he put at the center of his speech in Michigan in large letters on his standing desk, caused a stir in another context.
At a campaign event in the state of Ohio in mid-March, Trump spoke about how he wanted to make it more difficult to sell Chinese cars on the US market. He added: “If I am not elected, there will be a bloodbath. (…) It will be a bloodbath for the country.” Trump’s remarks already made waves back then. His campaign team weighed it down and tried to argue that the 77-year-old had only spoken about the US auto industry and that the “bloodbath” quote had been taken out of context. In Grand Rapids, Trump addressed the controversy, saying there was an attempt to misattribute the term to him. What Biden is causing is actually a “bloodbath”.
According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released in February, 38 percent of Republican voters and one in five independent voters surveyed say immigration is the most important issue in the United States. Donald Trump's rhetoric probably not only reflects his deepest convictions - but is also tough calculation. (skr/dpa)
