Why would any Presidential candidate praise cannibalism!?

[Uncle Joe]

The only reasons that I can think of is insanity, sending a coded message or both.

*rump literally praised Hannibal Lector in a public speech.

That begs the question what kind of message is said candidate sending?

I would wager that if the American People were polled as to which "real life" cannibal (s) first come to mind, the majority would first think of Jeffrey Dahmer, if they were into history the Donner Party, or both.

The major distinction between two being the former; chose cannibalism by choice, and his victims were overwhelmingly black while the latter were forced into it by tragic circumstance, trapped in the mountains during the dead of winter during the 1840s they were starving to death.

I would also wager that if the American People were polled as to which group of people in the world today are most in danger of starving to death, the Palestinian People in Gaza would be near or at the top of the list.

So I believe that's what *rump was/is promoting.

[no_hypocrisy]

1. My take is a bit more microcosmic than yours.

TSF identifies with men with extraordinary egos and nerve. Hannibal Lector is evil, yes, but to TSF, he's bad ass.

Not only a serial murderer but a cannibal. Relishes eating human beings.

That's a message to those who want to mess with TSF: he'll kill and consume you. You will become his excrement.

OK, this is unpleasant to write, but he's truly demented and dangerous. Not that I believe any of us would end up on his dinner plate. But he wants to show that he has absolutely no boundaries, of decency or otherwise.

[FalloutShelter]

20. The character of Lector,

As created by writer Harris, is an apex predator.
An intensely intelligent and charismatic animal, not unlike a lion. Free of conscience and free of morality, he is like the highest octave of Randian Superman

It is revealing that this is the projection of Trump’s toxic ID. He is a very sick psychopath who belongs in restraints.

It’s ALWAYS PROJECTION. For weeks I’d wonder about his constant invocation of Alphonse Capone… and now we know. He is under investigation AGAIN, for tax fraud in Chicago. Capone… Chicago! Get it?

If Trump had not been born to money he would be dead or in jail and they would be digging up his basement looking for bodies.

2. His regular schtick isn't working anymore, people are bored.

So he throws in American culture tidbits he thinks everyone is aware of. He's trying to make a joke to get people to smile and adore him like they used to.

[grumpyduck]

28. I would agree with this.

Also, he's throwing stuff out there that he thinks his brain-dead, worthless minion cult members will buy. A form of brainwashing.

No different than what Faux is doing.

[Kid Berwyn]

3. He has weaponized rhetoric.

His followers often are incapable of vocalizing their fears and hatreds, but recognize a familiar tone in the TSF’s droanings. Look how his demonization of immigrants from Central and South America as criminals led to children in cages. Look how his praise of Putin and contempt for NATO made many Republicans prefer Russia over a seemingly weakened alliance.

People with the ability to do critical analysis know he’s a demagogic psychopath. So glad you have shared your insight and critical faculties with DU, Uncle Joe.

[Uncle Joe]

6. I believe it was Miller that just cited a quote

about 'being conservative was accepting being loathed by the right people' or something to that effect.

[Kid Berwyn]

7. Chilling.

I heard it too, just recently, mebbe Friday night.

The guy’s on a mission from Satan.

21. I think he actually IS...

Satan incarnate.

A professional hypnotist tried to warn us about the traitor's M.O. Doesn’t let corporate news media off the hook, neither. How the unstable moron done did it:

Hypnotist Richard Barker Shows How Trumpnosis, Donald Trump's Form of Covert Hypnosis, Affects Millions Around the World

NEWS PROVIDED BY
Richard Barker, Incredible Hypnotist
Mar 29, 2016, 08:35 ET

ORLANDO, Fla., March 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Hypnotist Richard Barker has just released research surrounding mass hypnosis and has coined the phrase "Trumpnosis".

Trumpnosis.com has been receiving lots of interest as of late. Covert hypnosis means having access to people's subconscious mind and altering the way they behave and think in a disguised or somewhat hidden way. Some popular covert hypnosis techniques used to align someone's behavior and thoughts to the desired outcome of the hypnotists are displayed during mass hypnosis.

Barker typically refers to mass hypnosis as "Trumpnosis", since he states, "Mr. Trump displays it so well". The media have also made comments regarding the Hypnotizing of a nation and questioned what is happening to America. Through the words and actions of an individual, can we influence and suggest a nation to think a certain way? Richard Barker who is known as the 'Incredible Hypnotist' thinks so. Barker said, "Everything we do and see must first start with a thought process. We don't see the world; we think it. If your thoughts are influenced by a master Hypnotist to think in a certain way on a mass level, this is 'Trumpnosis'".

Mass Hypnotism can apply to everything and be everywhere – in families, in schools and in politics. The influence and use of repetition on crowds is identified through Mr. Trump's speeches and is seen to influence even the most enlightened minds. The power is due to the fact that the repeated statements are embedded in those profound regions of our subconscious mind.

Donald Trump successfully uses techniques such as pacing and leading, anchoring, verbal confusion, repetition and so on. He successfully bypasses the critical factor in minds of some people and has the ability to turn off the rational thinking. By using certain words and behavior, a speaker can very quickly establish a rapport with an audience. Repeated exposure to the same speaker can result in them being viewed with admiration, bordering on worship. Every word uttered is accepted as the complete truth.

“ Through the words he has used, both now and in the past, he has placed others into a hypnotic state without them knowing," says Barker. "Trump's speeches contains hypnosis techniques of hypnotic anchoring, pacing and leading, critical factor bypass and so on."

Hypnotist Richard Barker insists, "All you need to remember is that most people's needs are based on their instincts. Understanding people's instincts, especially in a mass gathering, is one of the key goals of mass hypnosis. Trumpnosis is a vehicle for enabling large groups of people to have an altered belief system."

Richard Barker is a World Renowned Professional Hypnotist. He has spent the last 20 years working with thousands of clients across the world. Richard Barker has recently appeared on NBC's The Today Show, CBS' The Late Late Show with James Corden, FOX's Good Day LA and News channels for FOX and ABC http://incrediblehypnotist.com

He has written a new book focusing on Persuasion and Suggestion titled, "Selling Hypnotically. The Art Of Suggestion" http://sellinghypnotically.com

4. People with dementia mixed up names. He mixes up Biden and Obama and Haley and Pelosi. He was probably

talking about Frederick Douglas in his mind.

You put more thought into it than he did. His brain is broke.

[Think. Again.]

5. His entire life is one big troll...

...he feeds his ego by doing the worst possible things, and getting away with them.

He gets off on the adoration of people he dispises, and keeps giving them more and more reason to hate him while he sits back and accepts the praise they throw at him instead, laughing all the way to the bank.

[Irish_Dem]

8. Why would Americans vote for this man?

[Uncle Joe]

10. The only reasons I can think of, are fear and ignorance.

His closest supporters may be doing it for greed and power sake, but in general I believe it's fear and ignorance.

[Irish_Dem]

11. And they like what he says.

They are entertained by him.
And he validates their hatred and bigotry.

[Uncle Joe]

17. That's true, but I believe the "entertainment value" is wearing off.

[Irish_Dem]

18. Trump may have to change up his routine.

This cult members are not liking his current show.

[Kennah]

23. And apparently cannibalism

[Diamond_Dog]

9. People are getting bored with his regular outrageous comments

So he had to come up with something really heinous and nasty to get his name in the headlines. And it worked. And his bobble headed non thinkers lap it up.

[Uncle Joe]

13. Apparently from the reports that I have seen, he had people leaving early.

I had an argument with a conservative yesterday and he said *rump isn't/wasn't serious, that being a rich playboy, it was just bluster.

[Submariner]

12. Maybe TSF's Granpa Drumpf was being chased by screwed contractors

and he took a shortcut through Donner Pass on his way to the opening of the Trump Whorehouses in Canada.

Maybe that's why he has his meats cooked well done, and smothered with ketchup, to drown out perceived flesh decomposition that is now in his DNA.

[muriel_volestrangler]

14. The message wasn't that "coded"; he was being sarcastic, and attacking immigrants "from insane asylums"

He was claiming that Latin American countries are "emptying their insane asylums" and sending the people to the USA. And then he explained that these "insane asylums" are worse than mental hospitals, because they have people like Hannibal Lecter.

He's done this before: https://au.news.yahoo.com/trump-compares-migrants-hannibal-lecter-215739900.html

Trump repeated the “insane asylum” claims Saturday, but was much more magnanimous when talking about his favorite villain.

“Silence of the Lambs. Has anyone ever seen The Silence of the Lambs?” Trump asked the crowd. “The late, great Hannibal Lecter is a wonderful man. He oftentimes would have a friend for dinner. Remember the last scene? ‘Excuse me. I’m about to have a friend for dinner,’ as this poor doctor walked by. ‘I’m about to have a friend for dinner.’ But Hannibal Lecter. Congratulations. The late, great Hannibal Lecter.”

After heaping praise on the fictitious serial killer, famously played by actor Anthony Hopkins , Trump went right back to his scary talk about migrants, without missing a beat.

https://www.mediaite.com/trump/the-late-great-hannibal-lecter-here-are-the-5-wildest-moments-from-trumps-bizarre-rally-in-new-jersey/

So, assuming his followers get the sarcasm, the message is "immigrants are as bad as cannibals".

[Uncle Joe]

16. I read an article in the Hill to that effect, and I don't discount that as well, but the same day as

the Yahoo article from February 24th.

The other major headlines about Gaza on that date was



Israeli officials to meet on a proposed pause in Gaza while the Cabinet is set to OK a Rafah plan

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli officials will meet Saturday night on the next steps after the latest talks with the United States, Egypt and Qatar in search of a deal on pausing the fighting in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.

(snip)

A senior official from Egypt, which along with Qatar is a mediator between Israel and the Hamas militant group, said mediators were waiting for Israel’s official response to a draft deal that includes the release of up to 40 women and older hostages held in Gaza in return for up to 300 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, mostly women, minors and older people.

The Egyptian official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the negotiations, said the proposed six-week pause in fighting would include allowing hundreds of aid trucks to enter Gaza every day, including the northern half of the besieged territory. He said that both sides agreed to continue negotiations during the pause for further releases and a permanent cease-fire.

*rump doesn't want that conflict to end because it damages Biden.

[tetedur]

22. Thank you. Now I understand his context. It is bs but now I understand why he brings up Hannibal Lector.

[shrike3]

24. Yes, I agree. As evil as Trump is, he can also be sarcastic, and that's my take here.

[Emile]

19. He speaks gibberish. Only one who knows what

he is saying is Trump.

[Mad_Machine76]

25. Geez

And they say DEMOCRATS have the "messaging problem"?

[Turbineguy]

27. trump steals peoples' souls already

eating their livers is not such a stretch.

30. Reminds me of what the Judge said Alfred Packer's trial for canabalism ...

According to a local newspaper, which received their quote from Larry Dolan, the presiding judge, M.B. Gerry, said:

Stand up yah voracious man-eatin' sonofabitch and receive yir sintince. When yah came to Hinsdale County, there was siven Dimmycrats. But you, yah et five of 'em, goddam yah. I sintince yah t' be hanged by th' neck ontil yer dead, dead, dead, as a warnin' ag'in reducin' th' Dimmycratic populayshun of this county. Packer, you Republican cannibal, I would sintince ya ta hell but the statutes forbid it.[11] wiki.

31. Trump is just gabbling - it's what he does nt

[Uncle Joe]

32. I believe he does a lot more than that.

[NanaCat]

33. I read somewhere that he might have confused

Anthony Hopkins portraying Lecter with the character. TSF thinks Hopkins said that he loved TSF. Except, of course, Hopkins never said that:

During a 2023 event in Iowa, Trump confused the character with Hopkins by saying, "Hannibal Lecter, how great an actor was he?” The former president also mistakenly quoted the actor as saying he loved Trump, though there is no record of such a comment ever being made.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/05/13/donald-trump-hannibal-lecter-new-jersey-rally/73668610007/

The only time that Hopkins has even expressed an opinion about the idiot in public, and it's not even direct, but the reporter indicated that Hopkins cared nothing about him:

“Ask me more questions!” he {NB: Hopkins} says. He doesn’t want to waste time sitting around while the photographer sets up. We talk animals. He and Stella collect stray cats and dogs. We talk politics. He doesn’t care about Trump; he doesn’t vote.
