Apparently, I’m “Somalia-oriented,” because I don’t share Trump’s bigoted views about entire nations.
In Minnesota, it’s very Somalia-oriented. These people come from a crooked country, disgusting country, one of the worst countries in the world. They come to our country — low IQs — and they rob us blind. Stupid people, and they rob us blind.
Although I agree that there are cases where deeply stupid people rob American citizens blind, I’d point my finger in a different direction, at the Epstein class of rich exploiters. Trump is unbelievably stupid and bigoted.
He’s regurgitating the claims of another notorious racist, Richard Lynn, who published papers from the safety of his Ulster residence stating utter bollocks about the intelligence of people in far-away lands, entirely on the basis of apocryphal reports, poorly sourced anecdotes, and “data” collected in prisons and mental institutions and refugee camps, when it suited his biases. This is some of the worst data that ever got accepted for publication. Here, for instance, are his estimates of regional IQ, both “estimated” and “actual”.
Lynn loved his imaginary statistics. Note that what this says is that on average, African peoples exhibit a mild intellectual disability of the sort that would require significant educational accommodations, and would need substantial vocational rehabilitation and training for them to be able to live independently. Although, apparently, they’re still smarter than a large fraction of the American citizenry, and are capable of robbing them blind with their cunning schemes. I’d argue that this is a problem exacerbated by the fact that American dupes, marks, and victims have taken to advertising their status by putting bright red caps on top of their gullible brains.
Trump went on to say that we have crooked politicians and dirty cops
, and that something should be done
about our attorney general, Keith Ellison. Ellison has fired back.
“If Donald Trump thinks Minnesotans will turn on our neighbors, he doesn’t understand this state,” wrote Ellison. “When he surged ICE here and killed two Minnesotans, we stood up for each other, not against each other. Trump’s racist tirades can’t distract from the fact that his reckless and deeply unpopular war is driving up inflation, raising gas prices, and making life unaffordable for Minnesotans.”
It is indisputable that Trump is a goddamn racist bigot, and it is also indisputable that his policies are bankrupting the USA. But he has the support of the stupid people and the rich people, so he gets to stay in office.
I’d like to see a debate on any topic between a Somali-American, Ilhan Omar, and a demented, corrupt old parasite, Donald Trump. Let’s see who actually has a higher IQ.
At least he hasn’t called them rats or cockroaches – yet.
@1 Militant Agnostic
I think that the rats and cockroaches would be gravely offended.
..by being associated with Donald Trump in any way whatsoever.
To see a preview of the proposed debate just rewatch Harris run circles around Trump in the Presidential debate. Did not change anything.
PZ – But he has the support of the stupid people and the rich people, so he gets to stay in office.
While taking some blame, stupid people, well they are just stupid. Rich people on the other hand should know better, but when the President’s policies send money upward at the expense of average Americans, they will keep funding him.
Dumpster is a racist jerk. That’s one of his appeals to other racist jerks, like those in the South where I’m from (northeast Florida). What’s amusing is that he’s everything Southerners hated about “Yankees”…obnoxious, arrogant, self-centered, con man. They would happily send that jerk to Somalia.
