Donald Trump Calls America a “Garbage Can” of Undocumented Immigrants in Racist—Even for Him—Campaign Rally

One day we will wake to his obituary :-)

A“shining city on a hill.” An “exceptional,” “great nation.” “The land of second chance.” “A brilliant diversity spreads like stars, like a thousand points of light in a broad and peaceful sky.” These are just some of the ways former presidents have described America over the years. And then there’s Donald Trump.

On Thursday at a rally in Arizona, the ex-president—who you might be surprised to hear would like to be president again—described the country as a “garbage can,” the contents of which, according to him, are undocumented immigrants. While the president has long spoken of people who weren’t born in America, and anyone he disagrees with, in the most dehumanizing terms possible, his remarks on Thursday were somehow disturbing even for him.

“A lot of people coming out of the Congo,” Trump told the crowd in Tempe. “Not just South America, they’re coming from 181 countries as of yesterday. We’re a dumping ground, we’re like a garbage can for the world. That’s what’s happened, we’re like a garbage can. You know that’s the first time I’ve ever said that…first time I’ve ever said ‘garbage can,’ but you know what? It’s a very accurate description.”
