Trump Mocks Immigrants Who Follow the Law and Attend Their Court Hearings, ‘Not Very Smart!’
Donald Trump on Monday mocked immigrants for following the legal citizenship process, reportedly arguing that those who attended their immigration court hearings “cannot be very smart.”
After falsely claiming that only two percent of immigrants show up to court for their hearings, Trump reportedly added that “those people you almost don’t want because they cannot be very smart.. those two percent are not going to make America great again, I tell ya.”
This leaves immigrants little recourse to win Trump’s favor—because as he’s said nearly every day, he certainly doesn’t approve of them entering the country illegally either.

I will go to my grave baffled as to how our media decided to treat these utterances by a mad man as normal. President or not, he speaks like a god damn crazy man, he lies, he rambles he doesn't make sense yet I'm subjected to reporting as though this is all just fine. TIRED of it

Who said trump is a stable genius? Oh, he did. I would State from my professional experience us that he is definetly not a genius, nor is he stable. He is melting down. Why give the border speech to farmers? They need help not Bull Sh*t!
