DonaldĀ Trump on Sunday proposed a new policy that many critics said is equivalent to legalizing ā€œThe Purge.ā€

Trump spoke at a rally in Pennsylvania, where heĀ admitted that his attendees were ā€œfalling asleepā€ at one of his earlier rallies. Vice PresidentĀ Kamala Harrisā€™ campaign noted that, as Trump was still speaking at the swing-state event over the weekend,Ā 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.

As reported byĀ Sebastian Smith,Ā AFP Washington desk chief, ā€œTrump in Erie, PA, says in US ā€˜the police arenā€™t allowed to do their job.ā€™ To stop crime, you need ā€˜one really violent day.ā€™ He says: ā€˜One rough hour and I mean real rough, the word would get out and it would end immediately.ā€™ā€

        until itā€™s him that gets fucked over.

        what they donā€™t realize is heā€™s fucking everyone over constantly. Theyā€™re being fucked over and too stupid to realize it.

      I donā€™t understand a word he says! He says a lot of words, but never forms a full sentence. He just drifts through half sentences, and then spews out repeating words, questions what he just said, as if he himself doesnā€™t know what heā€™s saying. Then he says the second half of a sentence he never started.

      Repeat this patern for hours, and now you know why people leave his rallys early. Either that, or they want to leave before they get shot.
