At a rally in Pennsylvania on Sunday the former president suggested that one way to decrease levels of criminal activity would be allowing police “one rough hour” to tackle the issue, during which time there would be less restraints. “One rough hour and I mean real rough, the word will get out and it will end immediately,” Trump said
Social media users were quick to point out that a world in which people are free to act without impunity for a short amount of time is the exact plot of The Purge. One user on X posted a reminder of the original 2013 film’s synopsis. “In an America ravaged by crime and overcrowded prisons, the government sanctions an annual 12-hour period during which all criminal activity – including murder – is legal,” the synopsis reads.
Others pointed out that one of the movie’s multiple sequels came out in 2016 and was titled The Purge: Election Year – the same year that Trump was elected as president. The film’s tagline - “Keep America Great” - received attention from the internet and media alike when it became the slogan used by Trump for his 2020 re-election campaign.
this is the hateful fascist idiot you mooorons are supporting. Obviously the idea of "one rough hour" actually solving anything is stupid, but then again, no one accused trump, or you idiots, of being intelligent
