Trump Calls For Gun Confiscation In Fox News Rant: Cops Should ‘Stop And Frisk And Take Their Gun Away’

You’ve got to let the police do their jobs, number one. Number two, you have to do a policy of stop and frisk. When you see a guy coming down the street and you can — the police know every one of them. They know their middle name. They know where they live. They know every one of them, the local police, and they’re great.

You got to let them do their job, stop and frisk, and take their gun away. You’ve got to do it. If somebody has because they have all these guns — you know, it’s very interesting, the toughest gun law, the toughest, by far, in the whole United States is in Chicago, and yet it’s the most — it’s —

Let all your Republican 2Aer friends and family know.

“Take the guns first, due process later”

Pretty sure this was on the topic of gun control, he said “taken their guns away and go through due process later” but his 2Aer followers don’t remember that.

They know that the police aren’t stopping and frisking THEM so I bet they’d be all for it.

Those 2nd Amendment lovers? When you’re their golden idol, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the gussy.

So he’s calling for en mass racial profiling for a gun round up essentially only in Chicago. Jfc. This man is deranged. Bruh this would never happen.

Furthermore, can this man not put a sentence together? Like at all?

Imagine him trying to order something at McDonald’s drive through. He’d be like " I’d like a big Mac, great burger, excelle… ya know, the great people of Texas, their cattle, best cattle and let me tell you… also an apple pie, have, have you ever had an apple from Nebraska? Best appl… Anyway so I’m talking to the mayor of Lincoln, Lincoln Nebraska and he says, he says Mr president that apple this apple it’s for our troops and the troops are, it’s like I tell my kids… and on and on he goes until the drive through employee commits suicide via dipping head in deep fryer

Only if they….how should I put it……don’t look good in spray tan!

They know he means “take guns from black people”. They support that.

What are the prevailing sentiments about Bloombergs NY tenure, these days?

This whole “selectively frisking people” schtick was his invention.

ArbitraryValue ,

Well, serious crime did fall dramatically while he was mayor. People argue about whether or not stop-and-frisk was responsible and I don’t know the answer, but his overall policy on policing was clearly very successful. He was popular enough for the city to change the rules about term limits so that he could be mayor for one more term, and subsequent mayors have not been as popular.

The problem with this sort of thing is that I remember in the 2016 campaign how Trump would go on record saying Highly Objectionable Thing. You’d have the New York Times and such crow that now they’ve got him, print the statement. Trump wouldn’t miss a beat, would just go and say something in complete conflict with the other thing. He didn’t bother trying to reconcile the statements.

I don’t think that that statement’s going to do him any favors, but Trump has said a lot of things on the campaign trail that, if taken at face value, would probably kill his chances as a serious candidate. That didn’t happen in the past. I’m skeptical that it will now.

Oh it won’t drop his ratings like a rock or anything, but it hopefully will turn a few people off. And he keeps saying things that turn a few people off here and a few people off there…

some_guy ,

This last weekend, during the — just prior to the start of the convention, with all the police everything else, do you know that so far, five people have been killed? You don’t read about it because the press doesn’t want to report about it. Five people have been killed in Chicago during the Democrat convention.

He can just make up whatever he likes and they don’t challenge him but what’s new.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

Did fox guy really refer to him as “Mr. President” ? Isn’t that a bit weird.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

They always do that. It’s a tacit admission of the Big Lie.

Armok_the_bunny ,

IIRC it’s technically proper to still use that title for former presidents, but very few actually do out of justified distaste for the man himself, along with the fact that it’s definitely not a good idea to say anything that might imply you think he’s still actually the president.

orbitz ,

Also isn’t it pretty uncommon for someone to lose reelection for president but be the nominee the next one? Mean most know their official politics days are over at that point so the title isn’t confusing.

Rai ,

I have read it is technically true, but reliable news places won’t call them President because it’s also technically not current. In the US, apparently once someone is president, they forever have the president title.

That douche from the “ change my mind “ meme, I checked out one of his YouTube videos a while back and he called the US President Biden “former vice president Joe Biden” after he was already president. Which is so douchey, it’s kinda funny.

(He deleted all of the YouTube videos since then to force people to watch him on his grifter platform. I’m shocked. At least it’s only shitbags being grifted.)

ayyy ,

That’s the normal way to address a former president. They do the same with all the other former presidents as well, this isn’t the gotcha you think it is.

Hey maybe this will make my wealthy white mother OK with the cops taking away her guns

He’s happy enough to vilify white “leftists” and scream about Antifa any chance he gets.

Vytle ,

Oh sweet. Yeah only let whites have guns, I’m sure this will play out perfectly fine
