Yesterday, former President Donald Trump claimed that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio operated restaurants that offered only food from stolen pets.
In a rally in Tucson yesterday Trump said, “They’re stealing and serving the pets of the people that live there. And this is what’s happening in our country, and it’s a shame. These illegal immigrants are serving these beloved pets as fast food. Last week they launched three fast casual chains named “Hot Dog,” “Kittyburger,” and “Fried Fido.”’
“They even started a French restaurant named Le Berger Allemand Chapardé, (that translates to stolen German Shepherd). Trump said this menu featured Ris de Bichon Frisée Volé à la Financière and Escalopes de labrador Retriever Volé Chasseur.
“It’s a disgrace,” Trump continued. “They list three versions of Persian kitten–Chaton Persan Volé Saute Bearnaise, Filet de Chaton Persan Braisé Prince Albert, and Fricadelles de Chaton Persan Volé. This should never happen in America.”
JD Vance warned that that stolen pet restaurants could drive other fast-food chains out of business. “The stolen pet model has a zero cost-of-goods-sold. This gives them a potent competitive advantage. My private equity friends in Silicon Valley are raising billions of dollars to invest in this industry.”
Really hate that this is the discourse we’ve e having now. Tee-hee, did you hear that crazy thing he said? Comments like these are how this two-buck shyster avoids sustantive questions about his fitness to lead, stays relevant, and lives in our heads rent-free. He’s playing us all like a fiddle while Rome burns.
Just think of the money Springfield is saving now that they have swapped out their spay and neuter program for the new ‘Breed ‘em for the Plate’ initiative!
Cringingly racist comments about hardworking immigrants eating cats and dogs should be beneath a candidate for president and vice-president. I love a good laugh, but I agree with Sarah on this. I don’t want him to seem remotely amusing. And, he’s destabilizing American discourse so badly….another attempt on his life today. I’m very afraid it will only embolden him further.
After hearing about the bomb threats in Springfield, it’s hard to chuckle at this.
Let us talk, lest we be arrested for conspiracy, about the failed hunting of the Orange Dog, at his dog park.
Somehow the topic of “others” eating pets has woken some of the fringe to the imminent danger of racism.
I saw it today as someone hunted at the winter white house.
The chickens have come to roost. Oh, what a world we live in.
I am not laughing. Though I get the irony. FORE!
That’s quite a false equivalency and utterly failed attempt to change the subject. It would have still been lame even if written in proper in English. T
he only “fringe” people talking about this blatant Hitler-style racism are MAGA cultists who actually believe this scheisse.
I was trying to keep the pet theme moving along. And I don’t want to change the subject.
I do believe that the political continuum is either horse shoe or circular in shape, which leads me to think that the extremists of the right and left are closer in their dogma. I consider these extreme views to be the fringe.
I could have done a better job at my failed attempt at humor mixed with contempt (for the shootist).
My buzz is harshed. (Insect metaphor)
No worries – your internet sarcasm/joke came across as unclearly as the formatting on my comment did. I’ll chalk that one up to the perils of online vs in-person communication….
If it weren’t cringeworthy and affecting so many lives in a bad way, and if it didn’t come from a serious contender, these would be funny. Hat’s off to the creator that can make him believe anything.
