Trump Marks First Year In Office With Unhinged Racist Rant Targeting 'Very Low IQ' Somalis

Source: Talking Points Memo

. . . . . .

In nearly two hours of remarks, Trump seemingly sought to address his cratering approval by running through a list of his supposed accomplishments. His remarks also included a series of vicious, racist remarks about Somali people and other immigrants.

“They all ought to get the hell out of here, they’re bad for our country,” Trump said of the Somali population at one point during the extraordinary rant.
. . . . . .

Trump came equipped with a couple of binders including one labeled “ACCOMPLISHMENTS.” Yet as he read through the provided list, Trump repeatedly raged against the Somali population, including suggesting that they are of inferior intelligence. Trump first turned to the topic as he alluded to the ongoing ICE raids in Minnesota, which have been met with massive protests. The state is home to the country’s largest Somali population and the federal crackdown has come amid a wave of right-wing influencers making exaggerated claims about alleged daycare fraud in the community.

“Nineteen billion dollars at a minimum is missing in Minnesota, given to a large degree by Somalians. They’ve taken it,” Trump said. ”Somalians, can you imagine? And they don’t do it — a lot of very low IQ people. They don’t do it. Other people work it out and they get them money and they go out and buy Mercedes Benzes.”

Let me get this right. So he says low IQ people have figured out how to commit $19 B worth of fraud. Am I missing something?

BTW Buy American!

Investigate the oil money from Venezuela that’s now being deposited in a Qatar bank. Nothing out of the ordinary there. How much does it cost to get a pardon from Trump. Nothing of the ordinary there. How about is bitcoin crypto platforms where they get out early in the initial IPO and leave all his maggots with nothing and they love it. How about no oversight at the DOJ so the ICE can go about with immunity beating our citizens and walking away free. Now there’s nothing wrong with your one year accomplishment you just look like a bigger asshole than anybody else

Trump Liefest
astonishing this man cannot tell the truth about ANYTHING!
Delusional LIES!
Me Me Me I ended eighteen wars! Nobel Prize! Norway! Greenland!
He inherited a robust economy and a nation of generally happy people and
ran it into the ground and now both Democrats and Republicans are terrified!

Oh but prices are coming down, me me me, eggs are so low at $1.99!
Those are the marks of what a great precedent has done that he doesn't get credit for!
Oh, by the way, did you know you are standing on what used to be a swimming pool?
Oh Wow.
