"We are like a dumping ground for the rest of the world."

I think of all the things I read in the transcript of Trump's phone calls with Nieto and Turnbull, that to me--as the son of an immigrant--was the very worst thing that Trump said.

Fuck you, Donald. Go fuck yourself.

Although we did learn that "Putin was a pleasant call."

In fact his grandfather left Germany to avoid his military service and had his citizenship REVOKED when he tried to move back to Germany.

His mother was born Scotland and arrived in the US just before her 18th birthday.

I guess Trump would be intimately familiar with the sorts of people the rest of the world "dumped" on the USA.
