Trump told donors he will crush pro-Palestinian protests, deport demonstrators - eviltoast

Trump has waffled on whether the Israel-Gaza war should end. But speaking to wealthy donors behind closed doors, he said that he supports Israel’s right to continue “its war on terror.”

Former president Donald Trump promised to crush pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses, telling a roomful of donors — a group that he joked included “98 percent of my Jewish friends” — that he would expel student demonstrators from the United States, according to participants in the roundtable event with him in New York.

    FYI: Most of those braindead “am I not allowed to criticize Biden???” comments and posts on social media are a concerted effort by right-wingers from /pol and other such sewers, trying to get people to not vote against Trump. Don’t fall for it. These aren’t “lefties” or “tankies”. Just downvote, report, and ignore.

      Quite often when someone loudly whines about “not being able to criticize [X]” it’s because they have an opinion that is either repugnant, hateful or ridiculous and nobody wants to hear them. Nobody is saying they can’t or aren’t allowed to have criticism or opinions, but everyone else has a right to ignore or ridicule them for it.

      In the end, it’s usually just trolls. Giving them attention is what they want so it’s best to ignore them entirely and not give them the reaction they’re desperate for.

      I mean, I dont really care for Biden. Having said that, I’d rather gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon than not vote for him and end up with Trump, so “genocide Joe” or whatever those morons are calling him begrudgingly has my vote.
