Trump just went full racist on the world stage. He called Somalis "low IQ," then said they're "higher IQ than we though

Lol--Trumpy must think he has a High IQ since he knows how to con people and steal their money.
PS--I am not saying the Somalis are thieves.

Trump just went full racist on the world stage.

He called Somalis “low IQ,” then said they’re “higher IQ than we thought” because he claims they went to Minnesota and “stole all that money.”

This is the President of the United States.

They are paid to advance the owners' agenda.

And in these days of Media Monopoly, that's a very small number of people.

The UK has Ferage and his Reform party. Brazil has Balsanero. Italy has Giorgia Meloni's Brothers of Italy party. France has the National Rally party. Geert Wilders and his Party for Freedom in the Netherlands. Denmark Democrats (a far right party). AfD in Germany. Modi and the BJP in India. Various parties in Israel (potentially including the ruling Likud party).

There's been a worldwide rise in far right wing parties and leaders.

They can detain anyone they want with impunity.

They go after the brown people first and then anyone else who dares stand in their way, regardless of citizenship status.

Call your representatives NOW and DEMAND that ICE be defunded and decommissioned in its entirety.

This cannot stand in a supposedly "free" country.
