During a Florida fundraiser, Donald Trump expressed his disappointment regarding the absence of immigrants from countries he considers desirable, such as Denmark and Switzerland. He made reference to his previous controversial comments in the Oval Office, where he referred to certain nations as “shithole countries.” This statement was made in the presence of wealthy donors.
In relation to this topic, Donald Trump has expressed his belief that each state in the United States should have the authority to establish its own set of laws regarding abortion.
Despite facing 88 criminal charges and multimillion-dollar civil penalties for tax fraud and defamation, Trump has once again emerged as the presumptive Republican nominee for president. A judge even deemed the rape allegation against him as “substantially true.”
During the Saturday event in Palm Beach, as reported by the New York Times, an unidentified attendee shared that Trump addressed the audience, expressing his concern about the individuals entering the country. He highlighted that these individuals were coming from prisons and jails, as well as from countries that are facing significant challenges.
“Why can’t we welcome people from countries like Denmark, Switzerland, or Norway? We should be open to individuals from these pleasant nations.”
According to the Times, the millionaires in the crowd found it amusing and let out a chuckle.
In January 2018, Trump uttered his now-infamous “shithole countries” remark during a White House meeting on immigration reform.
According to reports, Trump proposed a different approach regarding immigration. Instead of accepting people from certain countries, he suggested that the US should consider bringing in more individuals from countries like Norway. Moreover, he expressed his openness to welcoming immigrants from Asian countries, as he believed that they contribute positively to the US economy.
It all started with a controversy surrounding Trump’s racist remarks. Fast forward six years, and the recent comments about “nice countries” mentioned in the Times article have once again brought attention to the 45th president’s history of vulgarity, racism, and dishonesty.
Trump is making the most of the alleged chaos at the southern US border by highlighting it as a key campaign issue. He has even gone as far as instructing Republicans to obstruct any bipartisan reform efforts.
During a conversation on Saturday, President Trump addressed the criticism he received for his “shithole countries” comment. He expressed his belief that the comment was not as terrible as it was perceived by others, stating, “And you know, they took that as a very terrible comment, but I felt it was fine.”
He further expressed his dissatisfaction with the influx of migrants from Yemen, citing the ongoing conflict and violence in the region. He also compared migrants from Latin America to the notorious Hells Angels, implying that they possess a similar level of aggression.
“They have been transported, brought, and placed in our nation, and they are present with us this evening. Actually, I believe they are not on this particular island, but I am aware that they are situated on the adjacent island, West Palm. Congratulations to all those present there. However, they will soon arrive here. Eventually, they will make their way to this location.”
Palm Beach, the location where Trump delivered his speech, is predominantly inhabited by white residents, accounting for 93.8% of the population. In contrast, West Palm Beach, situated across a waterway, has a significantly more diverse population, with people of color making up almost a third of its residents.
According to The Times, Trump alleged that Joe Biden had “soiled” the Resolute desk in the Oval Office at the White House.
According to an eyewitness, dinner guests found the moment amusing, interpreting Mr. Trump’s remark as a suggestion that Mr. Biden had defecated on the desk.
