Interestingly, given that I only really actively consume right-wing news and media (instapundit, Armstrong and Getty, and things of that nature), I haven't been hearing that much about Trump. He's probably getting more coverage on the alphabet networks right now.
Whenever I see claims like those in bold above, I'm in the habit of assuming they're fake and never bother to look into it. This is based on past experience. The Boy who Cried Wolf and all that.
*shrug* Living in a bubble it is, then. It's not surprising for you to assume that claims like those are fake and not worth examining further, of course, given how far too many right-wing outlets lack concern for truth, but it's worth remembering that the alphabet networks and the rest of reputable media do tend to have far more concern for demonstrable truth when it comes to their reporting.
Regarding the bolded -
Trump calls migrants 'animals,' intensifying focus on illegal immigration
The specific quote referred to is -
The Democrats say, 'Please don't call them animals. They're humans.' I said, 'No, they're not humans, they're not humans, they're animals,
As for his promises to
put millions into concentration camps -
Former U.S. President Donald Trump, if re-elected in 2024, would expand his first-term immigration crackdown to include sweeping roundups of people who would be held in large camps to await deportation, the New York Times reported on Saturday.
The report was based on interviews with several advisers, including Stephen Miller, who oversaw Trump's first-term immigration policies, the Times said.
It described Trump's plans as "an assault on immigration on a scale unseen in modern American history" and said it aimed to deport millions of people every year, including those who have been settled in the United States for decades.
While one may argue that it's not Trump himself specifically promising concentration camps for millions there, that's a technicality, at best. With that said, he has promised to do the "largest domestic deportation operation in American history" without the specifics of how.
Further, in the not so distant past of 2022, Trump was pointedly advocating for
rounding up the homeless and putting them in concentration camps.
“Perhaps some people will not like hearing this, but the only way you’re going to remove the hundreds of thousands of people, and maybe throughout our nation millions of people,...is open up large parcels of inexpensive land in the outer reaches of the cities, bring in medical professionals…build permanent bathrooms and other facilities, make ‘em good, make ‘em hard, but build them fast, and build thousands and thousands of high-quality tents, which can be done in one day. One day. You have to move people out.”
Trump really just is that bad. To add to that, he was literally taught to use the same tactics as the Nazis used by his mentor, Roy Cohn. He's using very similar tactics as Hitler used to gain power. Much the same groups are aiding and abetting him, for remarkably similar reasons. It's no surprise that right-wing news and media wouldn't be interested in covering just how bad Trump really is, though. It's not stuff that much of their target audience wants to hear and highlighting it would be likely to lead to unpleasant backlash against them.
I'm still reminded of a radio show host who was fired mid show for offering mild criticism of Trump. I just don't think very highly of how "free speech" and "principle" actually works on right-wing outlets.
Separately, on a quick check,
instapundit is not exactly a wise choice of sources to offer much trust, incidentally.
