Trump launched into a pair of vicious and increasingly racist rants against Somalia and Somali Americans this week, first at a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday and then during an Oval Office photo op on Wednesday. He called Somali migrants “garbage” and said they should “go back to where they came,”

WHITNEY WILD: How did it make you feel when you heard the president say that?

MOHAMED AHMED: I got five children. My children are not garbage!

WHITNEY WILD: What would you say to the president if he were standing here right now?

MOHAMED AHMED: Mr President, we campaigned for you. We have hope in you. We see hope in you. Please differentiate between good, bad and evil.

The short version is that they identified with Trump's misogyny to such a great extent that they were able to overlook his racism.

Uh, gotta wonder if these folks voted for trump because of biden policy in gaza. Of course, again, a leopards dining moment, because the turd really fixed that up for gazans....

downvote all you want it's the history that's resulted in the shitshow we're living.
