"The president, who drapes himself in the flag so inappropriately you’d think
it would be filing HR complaints on a daily basis, is now preventing some the
best
potential US citizens from
becoming US citizens.
Ever since Trump’s unexpected second appearance in the Oval Office began, it
was immediately clear the bigoted efforts he fired up during his first term
were only a prelude to the incessant cruelty he’s engaged in now. Trump
leveraged a tragedy into an opportunity to shut down migration efforts from 10
countries. A few days later, the DHS (via dog-killing frontmouth Kristi Noem)
said the racist plague had expanded to cover another nine countries.
While this took place, Trump converted his personal animus towards political
opponents into truly racist invective targeting an entire country:
President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he did not want Somali immigrants in
the U.S., saying residents of the war-ravaged eastern African country are
too reliant on U.S. social safety net and add little to the United States.
[…]
“They contribute nothing. I don’t want them in our country,” Trump told
reporters near the end of a lengthy Cabinet meeting. He added: “Their
country is no good for a reason. Your country stinks and we don’t want them
in our country.”
Trump continues to insist there’s no better place in the world than the United
States. Then he makes it clear the only people welcome to avail themselves of
his version of American exceptionalism are whites who probably already live
here. Everyone else from anywhere else can go fuck themselves… if they can find
time to do so between being persecuted/tortured to death in their countries of
origin."
