Donald Trump just compared legal immigrants on diversity visas to trash

Trumps always distrusted legal immigrants and hes trying to turn America against them, too.

Donald Trump thinks immigrants are trash, metaphorically speaking.
Not just unauthorized immigrants. Legal immigrants specifically, those who come to the US on diversity visas, after being selected in a lottery for residents of countries that are underrepresented in the US immigration system as a whole.
Its not surprising that Trump is wrong on the facts people selected in the visa lottery go through exactly as much screening as any other would-be immigrant to the United States, and the governments of their countries are not deliberately picking them to immigrate.
The fact that he spent part of a speech to graduates of the FBI Academy denigrating people who have followed US law is, for better or worse, only slightly more so. Trumps speeches to law enforcement are often his most unguarded and rip-roaring. Theyre the speeches in his official capacity that feel closest to the speeches he delivers at rallies as if he sees law enforcement officers as part of his base, as close to him as his staunchest supporters.

Why does Trump have to be so stupid--and show the world how stupid he is?? and continue to trash the US almost every time he speaks?? It is just so senseless.

(47,492 posts)She was an immigrant as well. I guess his wife and his mother were the right skin color, Trump's idea of "vetting", yet another obvious dog whistle.

(63,214 posts)Not through violence, of course, because I do not advocate the commission of crime, but is it too much to ask that he have a massive cerebral hemorrhage or a fatal cardiac event on live television?
Hell, it doesn't even need to be fatal. I'd be happy with a major stroke that drops him into a vegetative state for the remainder of his life.
I'm not ashamed to admit I'm waiting for the exact same thing.

Sometimes I suspect that has something to do with his utter disgust with immigrants (although he has no qualms about screwing them)

(2,226 posts)At least three generations of worse. He and his offspring dont seem to have gotten very good genes in DNA process.
And if he really feels this way, he and jr should give up their hb visa workers that pick their grapes and are house keepers keeping Mira largo running. They dont deserve them, and they think these workers are trash. Trump is the trashiest of all trash.

(578 posts)to his base. Trump is a troll you guys are better off paying him no mind when he's says his crazy shit. There is only two ways to beat troll. One is to ignore him and the other one is rub salt in the wounds when the troll is losing. Unfortunately we can't do the latter until possibly 2020. For now do yourself a favor and ignore this troll just for the sake of your mental health and well being.

I'm completely out of original ways to express how much I hate that loathsome germ.
