Take him literally & seriously, but I wouldn’t expect many people coming out to support him. The most fervid Trump supporters seldom get off their couches. https://t.co/WLlqpvwwQT — Dana Houle (@DanaHoule) April 30, 2024 There’s been a certain amount of hair-on-fire commentary on social media about this interview. It’s not the kind of reading I …
At their most basic level the first two Alien movies are about a bunch of people suffering and dying because they wouldn't listen to a woman who was right about the threat all along.

Trump’s ramblings on reproductive health care are second worse only to his ideas about immigration, but again: We already knew all this! He doesn’t give a flying fart about abortion, but he’ll parrot whatever bullsh*t he’s heard most recently. He does care about immigration — only White people from White countries, preferably people who’ve passed the Bannon / Miller How big a bigot are you? test, should be permitted to enter Trump’s nationwide HOA. But this is not ‘news’!

For him it's not a problem. Because he doesn't run on policies.
He runs on viciousness.
His fans love that he's going to hurt the people they hate. They don't even mind if (or block out that) they'll get hurt themselves.

And President Biden has a damned good social-media team, as the NYTimes grugdingly admits…
President Biden and other top Democrats moved quickly to capitalize politically on Donald Trump’s interview with Time magazine, particularly his comments on abortion. https://t.co/EOv2Hz6CtD

The Biden campaign is mounting a concerted push to attack former President Donald J. Trump over statements he made to Time magazine in a wide-ranging interview published Tuesday morning, particularly on abortion.
In the interview, Mr. Trump refused to commit to vetoing a national abortion ban and said he would allow states to monitor women’s pregnancies and prosecute those who violated abortion restrictions.
“This is reprehensible,” President Biden wrote on X. “Donald Trump doesn’t trust women. I do.”
Julie Chavez Rodriguez, Mr. Biden’s campaign manager, said in a statement that Mr. Trump would “sign a national abortion ban, allow women who have an abortion to be prosecuted and punished, allow the government to invade women’s privacy to monitor their pregnancies and put I.V.F. and contraception in jeopardy nationwide.”
Abortion has become a winning issue for Democrats, and Mr. Biden has argued that Mr. Trump and Republicans will continue to erode abortion rights. He and Vice President Kamala Harris have campaigned heavily on the issue in battleground states, and Democrats hope that state ballot initiatives to protect abortion rights will help their candidates for president, Congress and state offices. Their messaging has sought to pin state abortion bans directly on Mr. Trump, whose appointees to the Supreme Court helped overturn Roe v. Wade…
The former president also told Time that he would deploy the U.S. military to detain and deport migrants, and did not dismiss the possibility of political violence should he lose the election.
Democrats highlighted some of those statements as well.
“Donald Trump’s repeated threats of political violence are as horrifying and dangerous as they are un-American,” said Alex Floyd, a spokesman for the Democratic National Committee. “Trump is hellbent on threatening our democracy, win or lose.”…
This is reprehensible.
