Donald Trump bemoaned a lack of immigrants to the US from “nice” countries “like Denmark [or] Switzerland”, offering millionaire donors at a Florida fundraiser a reprise of infamous racist Oval Office remarks about people coming to America from “shithole countries”.
Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee for president again, despite facing 88 criminal charges and multimillion-dollar civil penalties for tax fraud and defamation, the latter arising from a rape allegation a judge called “substantially true”.
According to the New York Times, which cited an unnamed attendee at the Saturday event in Palm Beach, Trump told his audience: “These are people coming in from prisons and jails. They’re coming in from just unbelievable places and countries, countries that are a disaster.
“And when I said, you know, ‘Why can’t we allow people to come in from nice countries,’ I’m trying to be nice. Nice countries, you know like Denmark, Switzerland? Do we have any people coming in from Denmark? How about Switzerland? How about Norway?”

Most majority white countries have better education, better healthcare, better religious and personal freedom, better personal security, lower crime, and better standards of living than the US.
Yup. White person from Austria here and while my life is far from perfect, I like having 5 weeks of paid vacation, free healthcare and education, not relying on cars, and many other things I wouldn't have anymore if I migrated to the US. Maybe Trump should run on a platform of implementing those things in the US.
Candian here. No place is perfect. Canada is not perfect. I would never consider moving to the US. I like my freedom too much to give it up.
So they can't beat 🎉🎇💥 AMERICA FUCK YEAH 💥🎇🎉
A lot of that is why I left the US. Nowhere is perfect, but a lot of things are better for me personally in Japan.
So many Americans have never been outside of the US for any length of time. They have no experience with how good things are everywhere else.
