Donald Trump shocked many with his words during a speech in Pennsylvania. He suggested that criminals "have to be taught" and proposed a "quick and simple way" to do it.

Donald Trump presented a controversial solution to solve crime problems in the USA, which many compare to the plot of the famous horror film "The Purge", according to the Daily Mail.

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

"If you had one really violent day. One rough hour -- and I mean real rough -- the word would get out and it would 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 received numerous comments. A well-known influencer in the USA, Brian Krassenstein, reacted, writing, "Did Trump just suggest 'The Purge'?"

Many observers suggested that Trump proposes bringing the movie to life: "Trump is literally proposing 'The Purge.'" The movie entails a 24-hour period of legal crime, including permission to commit murder.

During a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, Trump once 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.
