“We will institute the powerful death penalty for drug dealers, where each dealer is responsible for the death, during their lives, of 500 people or more,” he said.

"Mothers will never again be forced to watch their children overdosing in hosp … and we will never allow mothers to watch their child hopelessly dying in their arms screaming, ‘What can I do, what can I do? Help me God, what can I do?’ We are a nation whose once revered airports are a dirty, crowded mess,” Trump continued, pivoting suddenly.

“You sit and wait for hours and then are notified that the plane won’t leave, that they have no idea when they will. Where ticket prices have tripled. They don’t have the pilots to fly the planes, they don’t seek qualified air traffic controllers, and they just don’t know what the hell they are doing.”

“We will take over the horribly run capital of our nation in Washington, D.C., and clean it up, renovate it, and rebuild our capital city, so that it is no longer a nightmare of murder and crime. But rather it will become the most beautiful capital anywhere in the world,” Trump said.

“Right now, if you leave Florida, ‘Oh, let’s go, darling, let’s look at the Jefferson Memorial, let’s look at the Washington Monument, let’s go and look at some of the beautiful scenes,’ and you end up getting shot, mugged, raped,” he warned, promising that he’d run the city “tough and smart.”

Is he running for Mayor of DC? If so, the potholes in some of the suburbs badly need some TLC.

For comparison, this is how Trump used to talk, back in the 2016 RNC debate.

He's always been an obnoxious and crass New Yorker, never what you'd call an intellectual or academic. But he used to stay on topic, finish sentences, make coherent points, and generally function. Now he's reduced to somehow shouting and mumbling at the same time, confusing names and years, connecting vague concepts together until he gets applause from the audience.

I know I'm gonna get downvoted to hell on Lemmy but it was just a normal speech fumble like everyone has, it was a bit weird that he changed subject like that but overall I wouldn't say "Fumbles Repeatedly in Terrifying Speech", this news to me seems petty and comes of smelling of desperation.

He suddenly remembered that he is against UHC.

“We will institute the powerful death penalty for drug dealers

Meanwhile in Russia:

(Among people who said death penalty should be unbanned) "As a punushment for what crimes do you find death penalty to be acceptable?", multiple answers

Drugs / drug dealing: 3%
