Ex-president avoided past ‘shithole countries’ racist invective, but said the US hadn’t gotten enough immigrants from ‘nice countries’
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.

Lmao reminds me of my company. They are headquartered in the US, but have a big office in the UK, and about twice a year someone from the US office comes over to try and recruit us to go over there. And every time no one goes, even though they're offering us almost twice the equivalent salary to go over, between the women, the queers, non-white people, there's not a lot of people left that wouldn't been instantly downgraded the second they stepped off the plane. And out of those left most will care about healthcare or vacation time and uprooting their lives more than a better salary.
Uh, on that note, anyone from any nice countries want to get married to an American? Doesn't have to be majority white, but must have healthcare and like, trains? I like trains and going to the doctor.
Most majority white countries have better education, better healthcare, better religious and personal freedom, better personal security, lower crime, and better standards of living than the US.
Yeah I wonder why Danes aren’t flocking here? Must be the lack of bike lanes on the ocean. Can’t possibly be that other developed stable countries offer higher quality of life
I am fron Lithuania and I would move to the US as a permanent resident if:
It was easier to do so
It's entirely the fault of the US for favoring third world countries over European countries. It's in their policy.
