Trump References Hannibal Lecter In RNC Speech

During his Nomination speech at the RNC, Donald Trump once again mentioned Hannibal Lecter while discussing migrants at the border, saying, "Has anyone seen Silence of the Lambs? The late great Hannibal Lecter— we'd love to have you for dinner."

Does Trump know there are 2 meanings to asylum? Lol

[SusanHamlin-scbc]

Hannibal Lector is not late and great. Sir Anthony Hopkins was appalled by Trump's Psychotic speech

[fflubadubb]

I can't believe he brought up Hannibal Lecture again, OMG !

[JohnIgavo]

Lol he just blames immigrants for everything

[patrickpoppy]

People actually vote for this dude - we’re so fucked

[benjaminfallon]

Amazing that this absolute unserious insanity has been normalized by so many.

So many important issues facing families, facing the future competitiveness of our economy and the security of the world….its time for some serious people in leadership.

[megurquhart]

Someone needs to remind him that Hannibal isn’t real

[denizgifford]

He thinks people from Insane Asylums are seeking asylum cause of his "Good" Brain

[stroise]

He's so misinformed. The fictional Hannibal Lecture never died in the movie. What a weirdo 🤣

[Amy-tff]

If Hannibal Lechter took one bite of trump, he'd say "Ugh, if I wanted a Big Mac, I'd go to McDonald's!" 🤭😏

[markd.]

This is neither normal nor funny. How shallow and irresponsible of the media for showing this, without any criticism or context.

[nolanstout]

The stand up comedy president is back 🇺🇸

[nowicanseethemoon]

But... why? What does this mean inside his head? What does it have to do with immigration? WTF.

[GAGecko]

Is Trump talking about his administration in November?

[DennisFigueroa-xhec]

Listen to his speech pattern...this is common in rhetoric from fascist leaders. It's a pattern that has obvious patterns.

[SmurfPerfect]

Trump used to be White, now he’s Orange. Just turned Yellow ducking debates. Someone should look into that. Sad!

[SabreMatt]

I doubt that the fool even knows that the film he is so ineloquently referencing, was released 35 years ago. 😒

[Rose-pmv]

Can he name one prison or asylum they’re coming from?

[variousJnames]

He's obviously confusing insane asylum (which they haven't been called that in decades) with people seeking POLITICAL asylum 😂

[rickturner]

And my "smart" friends think this guy is brilliant..wtf is going on ?!?
