Those countries are ****hole countries otherwise people wouldn't be trying to leave those countries. The majority of the immigrants from those countries are unskilled and poor, which no country wants. That makes them worthless.

"The Nordic Model – Embracing globalization and sharing risks" characterises the system as follows:[12]

An elaborate social safety net in addition to public services such as free education and universal healthcare.

Norway is a country with 1.5% the population of the United States sitting on a vast oil reserve that fuels their economy.

What country wouldn't be socialist if they were in a similar situation? lol

Quotes like this (which we hear all the time) are the reason the KKK and the American Nazi party supported him. And this is who the Evangelical "Christians" support? Really? (Facepalm)

C'mon Republicans, is this how you want to be seen? Because these days you are.
What's the difference between a 3rd world country and a sh!thole?

European conservatism is fairly different from American conservatism. American conservatism is more based on traditionally social beliefs and race. European conservatism has elements of social liberalism(particularly where the population is homogenous) and elements of fiscal conservatism.

The POTUS said sh*t. Big whoop. I know a number of people rather pleased that a football player said "f*ck Trump" on live TV. I didn't vote for Trump, but everyone knew they weren't getting a polished politician.


BTW, probably 99% of your senators and congressmen have said the same behind closed doors, but no one cared enough to run whining to the media about a grown man's use of common , and not even really vulgar, profanity.




Time to grow up folks.

If you think politicians are saints and dont use foul language among themselves, or refer to things as shtholes, you're not living in the real world. All my Liberal friends think it was funny and totally true, but inappropriate. Personally, I would have used a different word. This is sure to get Liberals in a straight jacket. It's really no big deal. My family came from a shthole country, and thats the reason why we are here in the United states.

It just gets better and better. I am so glad that America has a President that tells it like it is to protect the American people.

Every minute, Every hour, Every Day President Trump shows time and time again that he always puts America first and foremost without exception.

So glad that we don't have arrogant, politically-correct liberals running this country like Germany, Sweden, France.

So many cities across America are becoming more and more like third-world countries because of tens of thousands of welfare shoppers manipulating for-profit rich non-profits into letting these so-called refugees come to America and bring third-world living conditions to our formally proud neighborhoods.

He is now appearing more like a Lion with not just those golden locks but the ferocity in which he commands the room.

We are in safe hands with Pres. Trump. The international community is aware of a POTUS not afraid to let the nation be the lion it was born to be & not the cowardly creature we all saw under Obama.

Trump is showing he places the American people in higher esteem than the sell out Obama ever did. This will take time to sink in as we are still in withdrawal from the insidious drug that was Obama.

They have a very strong social safety net that includes free education, universal healthcare and public pensions. How conservative is that??? If that's conservative, let's implement that in the United States since Trump loves Norway so much. That needs to be asked of Trump on the record, on camera immediately.

The Nordic countries received the highest ranking for protecting workers rights on the International Trade Union Confederation's 2014 Global Rights Index, with Denmark being the only nation to receive a perfect score.[22]
Sweden at 56.6% of GDP, Denmark at 51.7% and Finland at 48.6% reflect very high public spending.[14] One key reason for public spending is the large number of public employees.
