So, if you actually need proof that Teh Orange One doesn't listen to what he's saying, even as he's saying it, consider the US as "a garbage can for the rest of the world" and further consider
- …what the rest of the world must be like if the US is a "garbage can" and the disadvantaged in the rest of the world still want to come here
- …what that implies about Trump's father, who Teh Orange One has claimed was born in Germany…
- …but wasn't; instead, it was Grandpa who was born in Germany and came to the US as an undocumented, unaccompanied minor (and draft dodger)
That all being true, as Darryl Rostow once noted, the US must have "the nicest garbage I've ever seen".
Or, I suppose he could just read the inscription on that statue in the harbor where he grew up.
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
(emphasis added) Oh, wait, I see the problem: That's more than 140 characters, so he didn't read it (and wouldn't want to). It rather asks for the garbage — including Grandpa (and, for that matter, his opponent's parents, who came here on merit to study in prestigious graduate programs, which is what really irritates him).
And that you've gotten this far into this rather short entry — but much more than 140 characters — is rather the point.
