      Trump was talking about this country dumping all their criminals in the USA. He said:

      "He liked to say he did something with a social experiment. A criminal is a criminal as they generally say a criminal and we don’t have time to figure it out. But we’re not going to take criminals and we’re going to get rid of

        Trump / Vance 2024: A criminal is a criminal as they generally say a criminal

        It’s kind of Gilbert and Sullivan-esque. G&S would have a field day with trump.

        Yeah that’s fair, I’m not giving him the benefit of the doubt so much as just how I heard it(based on his voice, he wasn’t talking normally- instead he sounded like he was quoting), but there’s definitely two possible ways to interpret it.

          Even if he is quoting someone… he’s quoting them for the justification of getting rid of them.

          He clearly agrees with the statement.

      Lol, context doesn’t help him at all. It sounds like he’s referring to the USA based on the words immediately around the statement.

      So this is just another one of demented don’s stupid slips of his tangled tongue.
