As a Norwegian, I would LOVE to see America turn to a Norwegian system.
I have been applying for 4 or 5 green card lotteries when I was younger, but now, that I am in mid thirties, the US system gives me NOTHING I can get here. Even though I love the US.
Or.. maybe free access to AR-15 and handguns. A bit more difficulties getting those here.. but not impossible.
And, I would add, we are not a Socialist country.. We are a Social Democracy.
The state does not own fully any means of corporation, but some of the largest corporations are co-owned, by 40-50% letting the state take part in the profits of corporations that deliver social goods. Like electricity, oil, rails, post office, etc etc.
My wife who works for a huge international corp, high up in management, with offices all over the world, tells me 99% of the people she meets, wants to move to Norway after they discuss how the work/life, benefits, social safety net etc etc works.
Right now, only the most driven people wants to move abroad.. mostly in economics and maybe a few engineers. My wife used to work in the finance district in London, but moved home again.. now she earns more then ever and decides how here workday herself. Workers has it SO much better in the Norwegian system, then in almost any other country she has talked to.. and she constantly meets and travels abroad, where this often comes up.
Compared to the US system.. you guys in the US do not know what you are missing out on!!
I completely agree with you. I have a friend that took a corporate move to the Netherlands and now wants to change citizenship. If Trump likes Norway so much, let's do it, I'm all for it.
Another despicable comment from Trump and his supporters will claim he's different, not politically correct. Where are the GOP members to condemn this behavior, missing in action once again.
If you want to talk about "lowering the bar," look no further than the corruption in the Obama Administration. Nothing was off limits, even using the IRS against private citizens. Obama thought nothing of bringing the heavy hand of government down on his opponents, including spying on the Trump Campaign in the final days of his Administration.

Oh how lovely....more "anonymous sources" from the Washington Post and the New York Times....both who endorsed Clinton during the election
WASHINGTON — President Trump on Thursday balked at an immigration deal that would include protections for people from Haiti and African countries, demanding to know at a White House meeting why he should accept immigrants from “****hole countries” rather than people from places like Norway, according to people with direct knowledge of the conversation.
Mr. Trump’s remarks left members of Congress attending the meeting in the Cabinet Room alarmed and mystified. They were there discussing an emerging bipartisan deal to give legal status to immigrants illegally brought to the United States as children, the people said, speaking on condition of anonymity without authorization to discuss the explosive proceedings of the private meeting.
