Trump asks why they don’t have more immigrants from Sweden, Norway and non “sh*thole countries”.
People in those countries don’t want to immigrate to the US.
They don’t even want to visit.
They get healthcare, housing, a living wage, maternity leave, paid time off and zero fascism.

Trump pardons a narcotics kingpin, but he blows up fishing boats in the Caribbean.
WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.
