Trump: "People that were in jail for horrible -- you know, they release jails from all over the world and release them. Not just South America. The Congo in Africa. Many many people come from the Congo. I don't know what that is, but they came from the Congo."

(73 posts)and more importantly, world affairs are not a strong suit for Trump.
Alas, it's just one of many things that that should disqualify him from being anywhere near power. The man is so stupid and unaware that, unfortunately, it's impossible for him to be ashamed or embarrassed.
Please join me in screaming into the abyss.

(4,617 posts)for all these immigrants to "self deport." From the Irish Star:
During his run for office, Trump vowed to kickstart mass deportations. On Fox Noticias, Trump claimed his team's priority is to boot out "murderers" first and foremost. As for other undocumented folks, he's planning to roll out "a self-deportation program."
"We're going to give them a stipend. We're going to give them some money and a plane ticket, and then we're going to work with them - if they're good - if we want them back in, we're going to work with them to get them back in as quickly as we can," Trump told Fox Noticias' Rachel Campos-Duffy during an interview.
So. He's planning to pay money and hand a plane ticket to people. And then (presumably after they've left) we're gonna decide if they're good people -- and if we figure out that they're good people, we want to get them "back in as quickly as we can."
Huh? Wouldn't you want to figure out if they're good people before you pay them and they leave?
He thinks just like Musk's DOGE goons: "Fire first and then un-fire them."

Dont worry. I KNOW thatll never happen. But its what I yell at the TV every time I hear him blather on and on.
I wondered aloud today why recently he has decided to include The Congo in his list of places that have sent very bad people to the US. Im thinking that even the dumbest redneck knows the Congo is in Africa. So the implied meaning is to fear the black man. He cant say that quite that bluntly but he can drop broad suggestions what he means.
