Donald Trump couldn't make it more clear that he hates the United States of America.
He's repeatedly called the U.S. a “nation in decline” and a “third-world hellhole” run by “perverts” and “thugs,” while also broadcasting his obvious hatred for immigrants. Trump has claimed that immigrants are "bringing disease" and “destroying the blood of our country." He's promised to deport millions of people in a mass expulsion event he suggested will be a “bloody story.” He’s lied about migrants bringing fentanyl into the US, despite the majority of those caught with and prosecuted for trafficking fentanyl across the border are US citizens.
At yet another unhinged rally in Tempe, Arizona, on Thursday, Trump escalated his dangerous xenophobic anti-immigration rhetoric, swore at the crowd, and created a new slur for the country.
"We're a dumping ground. We're like a -- we're like a garbage can for the world. That's what's happened to us. We're like a garbage can," Trump ranted. "First time I've ever said 'garbage can,'" he continued. "But you know what? It's a very accurate description."
Trump also brought out a new line that's landed well with his bully base because it includes threats, fat-shaming, and swearing. Every accusation is a confession from "Jimmy" Trump.
Vice President Kamala Harris responded to Trump's anti-American comments on Friday to reiterate that the President of the United States should lift up Americans, not trash them or call them "the enemy from within."
Former RNC chairman Michael Steele and former Montana Governor Steve Bullock joined MSNBC's José Díaz-Balart on Friday to discuss Trump's dangerous anti-American hate speech.
