Donald Trump on Sunday proposed a new policy that many critics said is equivalent to legalizing “The Purge.”

Trump spoke at a rally in Pennsylvania, where he admitted that his attendees were “falling asleep” at one of his earlier rallies. Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign noted that, as Trump was still speaking at the swing-state event over the weekend, rallygoers placed directly behind the former president started to funnel out of the building.

One comment Trump made drew condemnation on social media, as well as numerous comparisons to The Purge, a film series based on a dystopian world in which the government makes all crimes legal for a 12-hour period.

    This is all you really need to know about any of this

    University of Texas law professor Lee Kovarsky said, “People confuse telling hard truths with just being a total f------ idiot.”

    Not enough people are shamed into keeping quiet these days, they think they’re being politically incorrect or edgy or owning woke libs. They’re really just letting everyone who knows how things work that they don’t know

      The regular process would be:

      1. have idea for easy solution to known problem

      2. think it through

      3. realise that there more factors at play that would lead to other problems

      Trump reaches stage 1 on a good day.
