Internet slams 'foul mouth' Trump as he wants immigrants from 'nice' countries like Denmark
PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Former president Donald Trump expressed his wish for more people to immigrate from "nice" countries like Denmark while speaking at his mega-fundraising at Palm Beach on Saturday, April 6, the New York Times reported.
According to an unnamed attendee of the event, the GOP presumptive nominee reiterated his anti-immigrant rhetoric toward people illegally entering the US through the southern border and lamented about why people from developed European countries are not migrating.
The nearly 45-minute speech was made at the hedge fund billionaire John Paulson's mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, where he raised $50.5 million.
Donald Trump on having immigrants from 'nice' nations
The attendee, who was not authorized to make public comments about the private event, said that Trump started an extensive rant about the migrants crossing to the US amid a worsening crisis at the southern border.
"These are people coming in from prisons and jails. They're coming in from just unbelievable places and countries, countries that are a disaster," Trump told his wealthy guests, and he also recalled an event during his term in office where he drew backlash for calling Haiti and some African nations "s**thole countries."
"And when I said, you know, Why can't we allow people to come in from nice countries, I'm trying to be nice," the former president said, earning some chuckles from his guests, as per the attendee.
"Nice countries, you know like Denmark, Switzerland? Do we have any people coming in from Denmark? How about Switzerland? How about Norway?" Trump asked.
Further, the White House hopeful said people were coming from Yemen, "where they're blowing each other up all over the place," referring to the ongoing war in the Middle Eastern nation.
Doubling down on his anti-immigrant rhetoric against the influx of migrants from Latin American countries, Trump argued, "They've been shipped in, brought in, deposited in our country, and they're with us tonight."
Trump, eying a second term in the White House, has put border crisis and illegal immigration as one of the focal points of his campaign and has blamed President Joe Biden's policies for the surge in illegal migration at the US border.
The ex-president once accused the undocumented migrants of "poisoning the blood of our country" and said he would act as a "dictator for a day" if elected in order to deport them.
