It’s Official: With “Vermin,” Trump Is Now Using Straight-up Nazi Talk He’s telling us what he will do to his political enemies if he’s president again. Is anyone listening?

I feel pretty safe in saying that we can now stop giving him the benefit of that particular doubt. His use—twice; once on social media, and then repeated in a speech—of the word “vermin” to describe his political enemies cannot be an accident. That’s an unusual word choice. It’s not a smear that one just grabs out of the air. And it appears in history chiefly in one context, and one context only.

    No, Trump says whatever pops into his head to get cheers.

    It has no meaning to him, but it has meaning

      It’s also very telling where his mind goes to pillage ideas. You never hear him spontaneously spurt out “thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself” and go on a wild tangent from there. There may be no direction to his streams of consciousness, but the pond he’s ambling around in says a lot about him.
