Searching for voters, Donald Trump goes dark(er) with pre-election rhetoric

(USA Today) WASHINGTON – While telling a crowd of supporters at a recent rally in western Wisconsin about violent crimes committed by immigrants in the U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump interrupted himself to tell attendees that he would get back to talking about "making America great again," just not now.

"We’re going to do that ... don’t worry ... We haven’t gotten to that part yet," Trump said during his Sept. 28 speech in Prairie Du Chien. "No, I’m just saying this is dark. This is a dark speech."

It was one of many in recent weeks.

While Trump has engaged in rough rhetoric since entering politics in 2015 – particularly against migrants – he appears to be ratcheting it up in the final weeks of his third general election campaign. In Trump's comments, political opponents have gone from incompetent to "mentally impaired;" migrants are murderers with "bad genes" and World War III is right around the corner.
