As usual, Republicans love to make absurd racist accusations, and the latest is from Trump, who hates our citizens of Somali descent.
Speaking with reporters at the White House Tuesday, the president lamented that Minnesota had hundreds of lakes—until the Somalis arrived.
They’ve ruined a great state,Trump said, referring to the Land of 10,000 Lakes.You know I remember Minnesota in the old days, what a beautiful, beautiful, with lakes all over the place, they had more lakes than any place I’ve ever seen. It was so beautiful.
They’re destroying it, probably, maybe they’ve destroyed it,Trump continued, referring to the Somali immigrant community.And I only hope a Republican woman who happens to be very respected by everybody gets in because you will see a difference.
What does he think the Somalis have done with our lakes? Is this like accusing Haitians of eating pets, now Somalis are drinking our lakes?
What the actual ..?!
Tell us you haven’t been to Saskatchewan, the land of 100,000+ lakes
25th Amendment long overdue.
Like back in 2016 the second he took office.
Oh and shouldbvve been in jail since 6th Jan 2020 too – or criminally insane facility for.
They are sending them back to Somalia to relieve the drought there.
He doesn’t think anything, his brain is rotting. Actually he seems to have an atypical form of frontotemporal dementia.
Instead of thirsty Somalis, I’d be concerned with data centers drying out lakes. Trump is likewise fomenting the moral panic that kids are disappearing in school for several days to become trans when the real threat is school shootings because prevalence of guns and kids losing hope in our alienating crapitalist society. Trump is bum steering his base away from the real problems (data centers and gun culture) in his own addled manner.
Trump is deep into senile dementia and it is getting worse by the day now.
The videos of him outside show that he can’t even walk in a straight line.
He is just babbling without worrying if it makes any sense.
Somalia’s are low IQ people but they move to Minnesota and they all buy Mercedes and BMWS.
These two statements contradict each other. It isn’t true anyway.
He said this a few days ago at a campaign rally.
The audience clapped and cheered,
Trump has an excuse by being senile and not all that bright. His MAGA audience doesn’t.
The best guess from clinicians is that Trump has frontotemporal dementia.
It can’t be dementia. He took a test where he was shown 4 animals and he successfully IDed them. Sleepy Joe Biden could never have done that.
Hemidactylus@6 I saw it suggested that Trump doesn’t get that most kids in the US don’t attend boarding schools, but go to school in the morning and come back in the afternoon. So bottom surgery would be impossible. But that may be giving him too much credit. He made a statement in the last day that he apparently doesn’t know the difference between a trade deficit and a government budget deficit.
Larry@8: Notice that we only have his word that he passed those tests, and we all know what his words are worth. He claims to have been shot in the ear, vouched for by a lying quack who lost his medical license (Ronny Jackson). Jackson claimed that the bullet left a 2 cm (0.8 inch) hole in The Orange Poobah’s ear, but only a few days later the destroyed ear was in original condition, and the hospital report mysteriously went missing, and was never released. Of course, he wasn’t shot by his Reich Wing admirer, having been in the Screen Actors Guild he knew all about blood spatter packs. Being the consummate coward that he is, after being “shot”, he stood up with his fist in the air, yelling “fight, fight, fight”. Watch the video carefully, he is acting. Millions of rubes were fooled. Just like at Musk’s (teleoperated) autonomous AI Optimus robot “reveal”. It’s grifting all the way down for these fascists and Nazis, who will stop at nothing to get and retain control of the US government.
We see senile, while his dimwit followers think, “Guy knows his stuff. It’s the land of 10,000 lakes after all. We need to get those dirty foreigners out of our beautiful white country.”
His dementia is progressing weekly, and the stroke is affecting his right side as evidenced by the inability to walk in a straight line, the drooping of his face, and the leg brace.
His actual beef with Minnesota has nothing to do with our lakes, but rather with our having elected Ilhan Omar to Congress, our Governor Tim Waltz, and our state fighting ferociously against his gestapo invasion.
He actually had to fire gravel pit Barbie and that stump of a human from the Border Patrol. So sad…
His preferred candidates are going to be losing badly here, and hopefully the rest of the states follow our example of kicking all his MAGA candidates to the curb.
“Minnesota had hundreds of lakes—until the Somalis arrived.”
They pulled it off because they are very clever. You know, like ze joos.
Low IQ, that is a standard attack he uses against anyone who challenges him. And he has a high IQ because his uncle was a professor who taught at MIT. It all makes sense in his atrophied brain. His deterioration would be fun to watch if he wasn’t the President of the United States.

The Canadians and Somalians are in it together. They nicked our lakes!
