The unhinged rant that again displays Trump's dangerously insane delusions [1]

A couple of days ago Trump let loose a rant on Truth Social that was exceptionally demented. It’s worth it to take a moment and examine just how loony toons this shit truly is.
“We must expand efforts to detain and deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside. These, and other such Cities, are the core of the Democrat Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base, cheat in Elections, and grow the Welfare State, robbing good paying Jobs and Benefits from Hardworking American Citizens. These Radical Left Democrats are sick of mind, hate our Country, and actually want to destroy our Inner Cities — And they are doing a good job of it! There is something wrong with them.”
Yet again, Trump is floating his “stolen election” theories that the only reason he lost in 2020, and that he generally loses in California, Illinois and New York, is because of Undocumented Immigrants who are voting.
Yeah, that’s an insane fucking lie.
It is illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal or state elections in the United States. There is no evidence that unauthorized immigrants, green-card holders, or immigrants on temporary visas are voting in significant numbers, despite some claims that “millions” of noncitizens are voting in U.S. elections. In fact, audits by election officials and numerous studies reflect that voter fraud by noncitizens is extremely rare. As of 1924, all states had banned noncitizens from voting in federal elections, and in 1996, Congress added criminal penalties. Noncitizens face up to five years in federal prison for even registering to vote and illegal voting can trigger immigration consequences, including deportation. Despite these federal and state prohibitions, and the absence of evidence that noncitizen voting is significant, a number of Republican elected officials have introduced measures that would mandate additional ID requirements for all voters or verification of eligibility. Claims that migrants are being allowed into the United States so they can vote rest on the unfounded assumption that immigrants can quickly become voters. But to become U.S. citizens and thus be eligible to vote, immigrants must first receive legal permanent residence (aka getting a green card) and typically spend five years in that status (three if married to a U.S. citizen) before becoming eligible to naturalize. In the case of migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, they face a complicated path of a decade or longer to U.S. citizenship and may not ever have any pathway at all.
There is no evidence that undocumented persons are voting, anywhere. None.
And if there was — trust me — Democrats would be against it. Sure, we like to win, but until the GOP, we don’t do it with widespread cheating.
There are even more parts of this rant too.
That is why they believe in Open Borders.
None of us believe in open borders. Both President Obama and Biden actually deported far more people than Trump has so far. Obama deported 6 Million people. Biden averaged 750 persons/day — while Trump has only been averaging 600. But, both of them specifically concentrated on CRIMINALS for deportation, not on cooks, farm workers, students graduating from school or migrants who were visiting a court for their immigration, green card and citizenship hearings.
Transgender for Everybody, and Men playing in Women’s Sports
None of us want “Transgender for Everybody” — we want people to have a chance to be who they really are and the Medical Profession has identified conditions where someone with XX chromosomes can develop male gender organs due to the introduction of male hormones during development, and also vice versa. They have clearly identified that Transgenderism is NOT just some kind of “mental derangement.”
The American Medical Association supports everyone’s access to quality evidence-based health care regardless of gender or sexual orientation. To ensure that LGBTQ patients are not discriminated against in seeking the care they need, nor forced into medically un-sound programs, the AMA works diligently at the state and federal levels to expand access to medical services, reduce stigma in treating patients with unique needs and break down discriminatory barriers to necessary care. [...] Transgender patients often face discriminatory hurdles in accessing medically necessary health care services that affirm gender or treat gender dysphoria. As a population, transgender individuals are less likely to be insured than both the lesbian, gay, bisexual and general population. Among those that are insured, a national survey found that 25 percent of transgender individuals who sought coverage for hormones in the past year were denied and 55 percent of those who sought coverage for transition-related surgery in the past year were denied.
We only want people to be who they really are. It’s not simply a matter of “Men playing in women’s Sports” or Men going to women’s bathrooms. But Trump wouldnt understand that, he still thinks that the last Olympics Gold Winner in Women’s Boxing was a Trans person.
Before signing an executive order Wednesday to try to ban transgender women from competing in women’s sports in schools and other settings, President Donald Trump repeated a lie he told last year. He asserted that two Olympians who won gold in women’s boxing events in 2024 were men who “transitioned.” “Who could forget last year’s Paris Olympics, where a male boxer stole the women’s gold medal after brutalizing his female opponent so viciously that she had to forfeit just after 46 seconds, and she was a championship fighter. And actually they had two women, or two people, that transitioned, and both of them won gold medals, and they won them very convincingly,” Trump said. Facts First: Trump’s claims are not true. These two Olympic champions, welterweight gold medalist Imane Khelif of Algeria and featherweight gold medalist Lin Yu‑ting of Taiwan, never “transitioned.” Both were identified as female at birth and have always competed as women.
Neither of these athletes ever transitioned. In the case of Imane Khelif, being gay and/or trans is illegal in Algeria. She has never had any gender-affirming care. It is reported that she was born with XXY chromosomes, which is very much possible as are XXX, XYY, XO and other combinations. That’s nature — that’s reality.
Donald continued…
And that is why I want ICE, Border Partrol and our Great Patriotic Law Enforcement Officers to focus on our crime ridden and deadly Inner Cities and those places where Sancturary Cities play such a big role.
The states with the highest rates of crime or not the “Democratic Inner Cities” — they are in Red States.
The red state murder rate was 33% higher than the blue state murder rate in both 2021 and 2022.
2022 was the 23 rd consecutive year that murder plagued Trump-voting states at far higher levels than Biden-voting states.
consecutive year that murder plagued Trump-voting states at far higher levels than Biden-voting states. 8 out of the 10 states with the highest murder rates in 2022 voted for Donald Trump in both 2016 and 2020.
From 2000 to 2022, the average red state murder rate was 24% higher than the average blue state murder rate.
Red states like Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama are America’s murder capitals and have had the highest three murder rates for 15 of the last 23 years.
The excuse that sky high red state murder rates are because of their blue cities is without merit. Even after removing the county with the largest city from red states, and not from blue states, red state murder rates were still 20% higher in 2021 and 16% higher in 2022. House Republicans held three field hearings on violent crime last year in New York City, Chicago, and Washington DC. These hearings should have been held in the murder-plagued states of Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama. In 2023, Speaker Johnson’s hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana had a murder rate 8 times higher (41.1) than Minority Leader Jeffries’ hometown of Brooklyn, New York (5.0), 6 times higher than Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco, California (6.6), and more than 7 times higher than the national average (5.5). Our 2023 report in the Red State Murder Problem series found that murder rates were significantly higher in red states than blue states every year from 2000 to 2020. Over these 21 years, the red state murder rate was 23% higher than the blue state murder rate. Our analysis of the latest CDC data found that 2021 and 2022 were no exception.
And I’m not the only one who feels this way.
Journalist Aaron Rupar said, "Trump basically just declared war on blue cities." Attorney Danny Miller chimed in with, "Trump’s dangerous. But he’s also weak. He saw what happened this weekend." "The largest protest in US history to stand up for America truly stands for. Meanwhile, his birthday parade was weak and sad," Miller added. Melanie D'Arrigo, executive director of Campaign for New York Health, said, "Trump is going after Blue cities based on nothing more than the crazy, conspiratorial voices in his head. He’s already violating our 1st, 4th, 5th & 14th Amendments, and deploying the U.S. military against citizens in L.A. This is what authoritarianism looks like." CNN reporter Edward-Isaac Dovere said, "Trump making very clear that he intends his moves in Los Angeles to be the first in a series of efforts into big cities." The popular Trump Lie Tracker said, "Trump just escalated his war on major American cities. He plans to expand his crackdown on immigrant communities and cause chaos in the streets of our country. This is not good for our country. Americans will only be hurt by this." NBC reporter Sahil Kapur says, "Two of the three states with the largest population of people in the U.S. illegally are the red states of Texas and Florida. Trump, notably, does not name their cities when calling on ICE to execute more aggressive immigration raids."
Specifically, Texas has the highest percentage of undocumented persons in the nation, more than California and more than New York.
So why doesn’t Trump send his Jack-boots to Texas and Florida? Well, apparently, even though they have higher rates of undocumented — the GOP tends to win in elections there. Yeah, It’s almost like the undocumented can’t vote or something, eh?
All of this is bigotry.
The false accusations that “Migrants are Criminals” is rank racism. The murder rate for US Citizens is 2.8 per 100k person, for Immigrants it is 2.4 per 100k, but for the undocumented it is only 1.4 per 100k which is significantly lower.
Immigrants are not criminals. But then we know Trump knows that because he’s not even trying to arrest criminal migrants, he’s trying to arrest and deport regular migrants who work for a living. Because he thinks they are somehow Voting, and defeating the GOP. All of this shit is just a ploy to gain an electoral advantage.
He’s made this obvious — this is Racism against migrants and LGBTQ citizens but it’s also partisan voter suppression (or so he thinks) against Democratic voters.
He said it quite literally. “These Radical Left Democrats are sick of mind.”
He thinks us, Democrats, are SICK IN THE HEAD because we support US and International Law regarding the Rights of the Refugee, we support facts, reality and Medical Science and we support LGBTQ persons to be free of discrimination, intimidation and harassment.
He’s the one who is sick in the head.
He desperately needs an intervention, treatment and therapy, but that isn’t likely to be afforded -— so we have to oppose him, tooth and nail.
No Kings.
