After Trump embarrassed the U.S. in Switzerland, where he whined about “fake news” and how very badly he’s treated as president to an entirely different country who booed him, he came home to be tucked into bed with his diet Cokes and his McDonald’s cheeseburgers to tweet about Fox & Friends and his racist border wall.
The wall was never necessary, although of course Fox & Friends found someone to come and say that it was. As a member of the National Border Patrol Council, one would think that Brandon Judd would know a few facts about illegal immigration, but he chose to stay in lockstep with the president’s ridiculous demands for an unnecessary border wall in his appearance on Trump’s favorite state media program.
No one on Fox & Friends mentioned any of the following: the number of undocumented immigrants declined under President Obama, immigrants from countries south of the border no longer make up the majority of undocumented immigrants in the U.S., the number of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. work force went down under President Obama to less than five percent, two-thirds of undocumented immigrants have been in the country for more than a decade (and the country didn’t burn down because they’re here trying to make a better life for their families), and around 40 percent or more of undocumented immigrants come to the U.S. by plane legally but overstay their visas (and a wall wouldn’t stop that).
Of course none of that was mentioned. Trump has already begun writing his racist ransom note that holds more than 800,000 hostage with promises to release them for 25 billion dollars in taxpayer money to fund an unnecessary wall he promised Mexico would pay for.
Of course, his fellow Fox & Friends fans don’t know any of those facts, and what do facts matter in the Trump fan world, anyway?
Twitter users, however, do know some of those facts. They also know that Donald Trump is a lying, racist imbecile who appeals to other lying, racist imbeciles whose fears of brown people have been inflamed and promoted by their favorite president. See some of their best responses below:
