Trump Celebrates “The Wonderful Hannibal Lecter”

“Silence of the Lambs. Has anyone ever seen The Silence of the Lambs? The late, great Hannibal Lecter is a wonderful man. He often times would have a friend for dinner. Remember the last scene? ‘Excuse me. I’m about to have a friend for dinner,’ as this poor doctor walked by. ‘I’m about to have a friend for dinner.’ But Hannibal Lecter. Congratulations. The late, great Hannibal Lecter.” – Trump, in a bizarre rally rant apparently meant to compare migrants to cannibals.

Not sure what’s worse: that Trump thinks Hannibal Lecter was a real person, or that he thinks a cannibal and serial killer is a ‘wonderful man’?

Can you imagine if Biden said nonsense like this? It would be wall to wall coverage on every network. But we have normalized Trump. https://t.co/x3MtSNCJNn
