Trump launched into a pair of vicious and increasingly racist rants against Somalia and Somali Americans this week, first at a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday and then during an Oval Office photo op on Wednesday. He called Somali migrants “garbage” and said they should “go back to where they came,”

WHITNEY WILD: How did it make you feel when you heard the president say that?

MOHAMED AHMED: I got five children. My children are not garbage!

WHITNEY WILD: What would you say to the president if he were standing here right now?

MOHAMED AHMED: Mr President, we campaigned for you. We have hope in you. We see hope in you. Please differentiate between good, bad and evil.

How was it unclear to these people that Trump is a white supremacist?

[-] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago

The short version is that they identified with Trump's misogyny to such a great extent that they were able to overlook his racism.

Uh, gotta wonder if these folks voted for trump because of biden policy in gaza. Of course, again, a leopards dining moment, because the turd really fixed that up for gazans....

Have the day you voted for, dumbass.

Somali people are not garbage. This guy is though, 100%

[-] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

Exactly. "Fuck them, I got mine."

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Well, he even campaigned for Trump. So why does he actually complain? He got what he wanted: A fascist president.

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

He's mad he's officially not part of the elite and is subject to the cruelties he put in place.

“My children are not garbage!”. No, they're not, but you are.

And even after all this, he still believes in the president:

MOHAMED AHMED: Mr President, we campaigned for you. We have hope in you. We see hope in you.

[-] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Because he believes OTHER nationalities are garbage. Just not his family.

[-] IronBird@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Imagine being a black immigrant, and thinking that Trump was actually going to be good for you...

"Mr President, we campaigned for you. We have hope in you. We see hope in you. Please differentiate between good, bad and evil."

Yeah, there's no hope for this ignorant loser. So tired of these dipshits continuing to fawn over this rapist even as he calls their families garbage. How utterly pathetic and servile.

Please differentiate between good, bad and evil.

The irony spooged all over him.

[-] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Normally, I offer two in the thoughts, one in the prayers.

In this case, I wish this chucklefuck the way of life that he voted for.
