Former president tells 100,000 supporters people from mental institutions are being let into US
Donald Trump praised “the late great Hannibal Lecter” as a “wonderful man” at a rare campaign rally while complaining that the Biden administration was admitting migrants from insane asylums into the US.
During a 90-minute speech in front of an estimated 100,000 supporters in Wildwood, New Jersey – a record for a political rally in the state – the former president baffled his crowd by recalling the 1991 horror films.
“He oftentimes would have a friend for dinner,” he said.
“But Hannibal Lecter. Congratulations, the late great Hannibal Lecter. We have people who are being released into our country that we don’t want in our country, and they’re coming in totally unchecked, totally unvetted.”
Trump had previously been talking about pressure on the US border, saying other countries were bringing their “people from insane asylums and mental institutions” to the US under Joe Biden.
Tangents are not unusual in Mr Trump’s unscripted campaign speeches which, to the delight of his supporters, veer between political rhetoric, insults and conspiracy theories.
His campaign speech on Saturday night – one of the few he has been able to give while on trial – also included a reference to wind farms damaging whales, a claim that has been largely debunked.

He would eat that smirk right off their face.
All I’m saying is that politics might be a little more than Hannibal Lector can swallow.

It seems that these people who write anti-Trump articles about his rallies do not even bother to watch Trump’s speech. No one says a little /S symbol at the end of a sarcastic comment like we can in writing.
These biased writers remind me of the people who used to comment on Rush Limbaugh, even though they never listened to his radio show.
Today’s politics would give even him indigestion!
