(CNN)President Donald Trump said Friday that European leaders "better watch themselves" because immigration is "changing the culture" of their societies.
"I think it has been very bad, for Europe. ... I think what has happened is very tough. It's a very tough situation -- you see the same terror attacks that I do," Trump said at a news conference with British Prime Minister Theresa May outside of London.
"I just think it is changing the culture, I think it is a very negative thing for Europe," Trump said.
"I know it is politically not necessarily correct to say that, but I will say it and I will say it loud," Trump added.

It's not at all subtle any more.

Where does this idiot think all of the Americans came from?
We are a nation of immigrants, except for Native Americans, who are getting
severe sentences for defending their land against the pipeline.
