Donald Trump caused a stir with his words during a speech in Pennsylvania. He suggested that criminals "must be taught a lesson" and proposed a "quick and simple way" to achieve this.

Donald Trump presented a controversial way to address crime problems in the United States, which many compared to the plot of the well-known horror film "The Purge," as reported by Daily Mail.

During his speech in Pennsylvania, Trump proposed a "one rough hour" to deter criminals.

"One rough hour and I mean real rough, the word will get out and it will end immediately," stated Trump. According to him, the crime problem stems from the fact that the police cannot do their job due to liberal politicians like Kamala Harris.

Controversial words of Trump

Trump's speech garnered numerous comments. Among others, a well-known influencer in the United States, Brian Krassenstein, reacted, writing: "Did Trump just (...) suggest 'The Purge'?"

Many observers suggested that Trump proposed bringing the movie to life: "Trump is literally proposing The Purge lmao." The movie's premise involves 24 hours during which all crimes, including murder, are legal.

During a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, Trump again emphasized his stance on migration. He warned against an "invasion" and promised to start deportations if he won the election. "Thousands of migrants from the most dangerous countries are destroying the character of small towns and leaving local communities in anguish and in despair," he argued.
