Yes, Trump is so desperate that he’s trying out both the Red Scare and the Yellow Peril.
Adam Wasserman: Note the inclusion of “immigrants” in the threat, and a use of the adjective ‘dark’.

Did you know that Monopoly: Cheater’s Edition actually reveals Trump’s political handbook?
Franklin looks disgusted, as well he might, since he wasn’t even allowed to sell one of the diamonds in his French snuffbox.
I’m thinking about the Buddhas of Bamiyan, in Afghanistan, ancient sculpted monuments that were considered blasphemous by Muslims. They were used for target practice.
