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.

    Being "right" doesn't equal reality. He hasn't been blocked from running anywhere in the U.S., yet. Certainly won't be blocked nationally.

    What's right and what happens are two different things. He is officially ineligible. That doesn't mean he won't physically be elected.

    And bank robbery isn't illegal unless you're prosecuted, right?

    The previous person indicated that there is a clause in the constitution that would make him ineligible, not that anything had been done about it.
