Here’s more of the backstory from August, 2018:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/23/w...e-farmers.html

Ann Coulter, Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson have been encouraging the Trump Admin to “ do something” about South Africa.

Wonder what ^ positions would have been when gold and diamonds were discovered in SA.

Why? WHERE does the Constitution task us with "looking out for those folks"?


Perhaps it's just another diversion from the fact that the 'far better than the ACA' plan Trump told us time after time after time,would be in place soon after he took office was imaginary and there never was a plan?

And that of every other country. Of course he'll do none of it.

Sos Trump feels the USA needs to protect rich, white South Africans but those seek asylum from brutal living conditions are just a nuisance -- don't let them in, don't help them with aid and in fact make it more miserable where they live so that even more may flee.

Can't argue with that kind of logic can we -- because there is no logic or reasoning.

Except for -- and I really wasn't big on this at first -- but it seems to Trump brown bad, white good.

Try reading it again, "promote the general welfare" is open to interpretation.

Besides, the Liar in Chief promised time after time he'd create a "healthcare scheme" as you term it.

WHERE is it other than in the empty promise pile of BS?

I'm cool with it, but its funny Trump campaigned on NOT being the world police, and he supporters loved to hear it, and when he does the exact opposite, they love it even more.

Or maybe they pretended to love it, or are pretending now. The mind of a Trump loyalist is a mysterious place.

Find another source beyond the NYT if you wish to be taken seriously. They are nos thoroughly discredited.
