Ex-president avoided past ‘shithole countries’ racist invective, but said the US hadn’t gotten enough immigrants from ‘nice countries’
Donald Trump bemoaned a lack of immigrants to the US from “nice” countries “like Denmark [or] Switzerland”, offering millionaire donors at a Florida fundraiser a reprise of infamous racist Oval Office remarks about people coming to America from “shithole countries”.
Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee for president again, despite facing 88 criminal charges and multimillion-dollar civil penalties for tax fraud and defamation, the latter arising from a rape allegation a judge called “substantially true”.
According to the New York Times, which cited an unnamed attendee at the Saturday event in Palm Beach, Trump told his audience: “These are people coming in from prisons and jails. They’re coming in from just unbelievable places and countries, countries that are a disaster.
“And when I said, you know, ‘Why can’t we allow people to come in from nice countries,’ I’m trying to be nice. Nice countries, you know like Denmark, Switzerland? Do we have any people coming in from Denmark? How about Switzerland? How about Norway?”
He’s complaining that people don’t want to leave countries with socialized health care and more protections for workers? Maybe he is coming to the wrong conclusions about that.
Paying 420€ per month at most for comprehensive healthcare and 49€ per month for regional/urban public transportation nationwide is really a chore.
And additionally, I even have to live with the burden of getting my master’s degree almost for free! It’s horrible over here! I can barely enjoy my 30 vacation days thinking about the situation!
And don’t you just hate the absurdly low chance of being victim of a violent crime?
If only we figured out if those had any link to the social nets.
Best I can do is an armed wellness check. How many firearms should I tell the police you have?
at least 1500 lbs of firearms and a gundam
This fool doesn’t lose his Gundam in the pond
Without the privilege of crushing debt and social unrest? Inconceivable! You poor bastards!
Fun Fact: the Reaganites literally decided to create student debt to stop poor people from having higher expectations from life
I consolidated my AR15 and new Ford F350 into one EZ loan of 29.99% APR and 297 months! Yeeehaw!!!
Calm down, ARs are very affordable.
Unless you want all the options…
And you’re a damn commie if’n you don’t. Might as well buy an AK!
Actually, yeah, toss an AK on there too, they’re pretty fun.
Gotta buy the AK to blast the commies with their our bullets!
Sure, but how many dozens of guns can you buy immediately with just a simple background check missing tons of information?
Barely any. It’s a shame.
Username checks out.
Not getting shot and being able to buy real bread is another bonus!
