Trump Floats Alligator-Filled Moat, Shooting Migrants In Legs

President Donald Trump ran the gamut in his brainstorming on how to keep immigrants from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, floating an alligator- or snake-filled moat, spikes atop a border wall and shooting immigrants in the legs.

Is there anyone who is surprised by this? Anyone at all?

No??? Thought not.

The guy’s loony and belongs in a rubber room.

Asshole watched too many horror movies. He also seemed to think we’re living in the Middle Ages.

Now would be a good time for all those self-styled heroes who call themselves Trump staffers and White House aides to actually do something (instead of just lament off-the-record to reporters about how hard their jobs are) and sink this asshole for good. They know they can do it - they’re just too cowardly to do the right thing.

I wish I could sit down somewhere with every Trump enabler and ask about the moats with alligators. Moats with fucking alligators. Tell me how you support this cartoonishly stupid person, how you think he’s fit for the office. Just tell me that.

I have been wondering when TPM would run this story. I am glad it’s finally here for two reasons. First, I am hoping to read a lawyer’s and mental health professional’s take on this. Second, this is pure comedy gold.

My reaction is like that of Don Lemon’s on CNN: bewilderment, bemusement and some degree of incredulity. His take, “Did Doctor Evil make this up?”

If no one has been paying attention thus far, it should be perfectly clear now that tRump has flipped. Batshit crazy. Crazy with a heaping side dish of evil.

Shooting people for trying to seek asylum or just a better life. Trump is not well and Stephen Miller is a sociopath.

This one is pure distraction, in a mode that the NYT loves to do. I was actually surprised to see that Maggie didn’t write it.

Its meaningless blather from Trump that has zero to do with the impeachment walls closing in on him. So of course someone is going to toss it out there for the media to marvel and feign outrage over.

And I’ll give good odds that this won’t be the most bizarre or execrable Trump exploit you’ll hear about today.
