Nearly all those in and around politics are vermin. Including Trump. We all know that, that's why we don't trust them.
What really would concern me more is if he starts referring to vast swathes of the electorate in such terms, or perhaps calling them a basket of deplorables.
I guess someone finds dictionaries difficult. So here you go.
Deplorable comes from the French word déplorer meaning "to give up as hopeless," meaning something is so bad, there is no hope of improvement.
So yeah we all complain about politicians needing to be removed, but one candidate says that at least 1/4 of the country are not hopeless and they're giving up on them. What other historical leaders gave up on a significant portion of their country????

For me, there's enough daylight between these connotations to drive a Mack truck through. Are the definitions in your dialect somehow closer?
