As for it being a racist comment, it is far from it. He was talking about countries. It amazes me how people try to spin things for their agenda and to find a reason to get angry.
eh.. throwing the whole "why not people from Norway?" thing pretty much sealed the lid on his statement being race based, unless of course one is tone deaf to such matters.

Which is usually the case with RW now.

What I'm not surprised about is that we all KNEW Trump was racist I mean look/HEAR some of his past commits is that his base still supports him. As Trump said while he was campaigning that he could walk out and shoot someone and not lose support.


It's not a crime to be a racist that's his and whoever else chooses to be one as well, BUT Trump should have NO say in ANY immigration laws. Period.

It's not like he said it on national television during prime-time.

What Trump supposedly said is no different than LBJ referring to Vietnam as that "damn little ****-ant country."

We also have immigrants, even from those so called ****holes. Our capital actually has people with background from every corner of the world.


-Thank you

Yes, Oslo is being enriched by immigrants.

You must not be a native Norwegian, since nearly all Norwegians are fluent English speakers.

Being a racist does not mean that you harbor racial animus toward all people other than those of your own race or ethnicity. I'm surprised that I would have to explain that.

There are "some people" that say a lot of untrue chit. Usually they are Trump hating Liberals.

Out of 350 million people there are always some people who will say anything.

"American greed" has caused problems on every inch of the Earth.

"American greed" has stopped American influence from being a force in resolving problems on every inch of the Earth.


It s quite possible that American greed helped create these " war torn" countries.

Typical abuser. ...blame the victim.

Current POTUS is unfit to be the leader of America.
Any politician that backs him or pats him on the back should be forced to resign.

So is saying "I would rather live with the people in Beverly Hills than the people in Compton" a race-based comment? Or saying that you would rather live in any middle-class white suburb over an impoverished black neighborhood?
