Trump’s Mocked After ‘Thieves, Radicals And Lunatics’ Line
President Donald Trump delivered a passionate speech at Mount Rushmore, denouncing communism and accusing “thieves, radicals, and lunatics” of looting and pillaging the nation. However, critics were quick to point out the irony in his words, as his own financial dealings have come under scrutiny.
In a recent Wall Street Journal editorial, Trump and his family were accused of profiting off the presidency in ways that undermine the integrity of the office. The President has also been criticized for making profitable stock investments based on insider information.
Despite his rhetoric against “communists,” Trump has been using the term to discredit his political opponents as his approval ratings decline. With the upcoming midterm elections, where his party may lose control of the House and possibly even the Senate, Trump’s fear tactics seem to be escalating.
The President’s speech, filled with attacks on supposed “communists,” drew attention to his own questionable financial gains. His accusations of looting and pillaging ring hollow in light of his own wealth accumulation.
