Donald Trump, who struggled to stay on message in two economic speeches this week, warned America it could face famine if his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris, is elected. After Harris outlined her economic plan to reduce grocery prices by stopping price gouging, Trump took to TruthSocial to call ...
He's playing to his base: Conspiracy-minded fundamentalist Christians who are driven by fear, and have already ingrained associating the word famine with the book of Revelations.
There is a not insignificant number of his most hardcore cultists who literally believe that Trump is a messianic figure: not literally Jesus, but a man chosen by God to do his will, and all of his failures and troubles are caused by people who are literally possessed by demons.
The rest of his rhetoric is ... these days, standard conservative demagoguery = anything I don't like or agree with is communism.
He's the angry fascist hype man for supply side Jesus.
Next he will be claiming a plague of locusts and rivers turning to blood are on their way. By november it will be "paint your door frame with blood or the kamabala will kill your firstborn child"
“Amusingly” he may be right… for the completely wrong reasons. I read an article yesterday that said climate change may be happening much faster than anticipated. Scientists will need time to determine if this accelerated change is going to be permanent, or if it was a temporary “blip”.
If it’s a permanent change, I could easily see massive crop failures happening during her term.
He's pandering to his hard-right base who will actually believe this bullshit. The problem for him is that by doing this he's driving everyone else away.
As Sun Tzu said, never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
Well, for a moment i thought that Putin, Trump and Xi Jinping were 3 of the 4 horsemen so this kind of makes sense. If a 4th would have surfaced I would have been scared. (NK's Kim is irrelevant)
