Troll So Hard: Harry Reid Demands That Trump Take The Naturalization Test

[DonViejo]

-snip-

In a press release Monday afternoon, Reid called on Trump to take the U.S. naturalization test – the test that immigrants must pass to become citizens of the United States. The test includes questions about the country's history, founding, laws and Constitution.

“Since Donald Trump wants to impose new tests on immigrants, he should take the one test every immigrant has to pass to become a United States citizen. He would almost certainly fail, given his general ignorance and weak grasp of basic facts about American history, principles and functioning of our government," Reid said. "The fact is, Donald Trump is nothing more than a spoiled, unpatriotic drain on society who has earned nothing and helped no one." Reid said that unlike immigrants,"Donald Trump represents none of the qualities that make America great. "

"Immigrants work hard to get here and become Americans, while Trump inherited everything from his father and works hardest at Tweeting insults and ripping off hard-working people with two-bit scams," Reid said.

Reid also claimed that while immigrants must denounce loyalties to foreign governments to become citizens, Trump "plays footsie with Putin and invites the Russian government to launch cyber attacks against our country."

7. Reid killed it, wow

[Sophiegirl]

8. I've seen some of the questions on that test

And in all honesty, I'm pretty certain I couldn't answer more than I care to admit.

No way Trump could even slightly dull a sharp pencil.

[kimbutgar]

9. Love my Harry Reid

Now that he is not running for re- election he will be poking Cheeto all the time and hopefully get under his orange veneer.

[Volaris]

10. 'You called down the thunder, well now you got it...'

Harry has NEVER called someone out like that. I would bet that means he has internals that drop Nevada into the blue column in nov and so he just doesn't give a damn anymore.

He just issued a flat out throw-down to donald. Think donald is smart enough to stay out of that ring?

[yellerpup]

11. Go Harry!

Best lame-duck closing statement yet!

[FighttheFuture]

12. Wow!!! Go Harry!

[Angry Dragon]

13. kick

[Avalux]

14. GIVE 'EM HELL HARRY! That was a righteous rant!

We should absolutely push this - there's no way Drumpf could pass that test.

Can't wait to hear the burnt yam's response.

The one about Benjamin Franklin, I genuinely didn't know. I thought he was the youngest member of the Consitutional Convention. I now know that it was Jonathan Dayton of New Jersey.

I am terrible with dates, so that's where most of my wrong answers were. I did know that about Franklin because one of the places he was a diplomat was London! (And Paris.)

I had to take a citizenship test in the UK to get my permanent residency, and I had to study for it. I passed obviously, but many of the English people I know said they would never have been able to pass! It was significantly harder than this one.

24. Many years ago, I watched Jefferson in Paris with Nick Nolte in the title role.

I didn't realize that Franklin was there as well. I consider myself somewhat an UK-ophile, and it's the first place outside the US I would like to visit if I ever get the chance, or the nerve.

I enjoy watching British television shows especially documentaries; I think they are far superior to their American counterparts with the possible exception of those produced by PBS; QI is a show I usually bingewatch. I also like streaming to BBC radio am partial to Radio 2 though I listen to Radio 4 for the afternoon drama as well.

I have followed UK politics since 1997, when Tony Blair led to New Labour to its landslide victory. My favorite (or should it be favourite?) politician over there has to be Nicola Sturgeon, an unapologetic socialist fighting the Tory austerity devastating impact of the people of Scotland. She can't stand Trump anymore than we can stripping him of his title of ambassador of Scottish Business. What's more is that even British right wing politicians are, at least marginally, better that ours supporting LGBT rights and at least paying lip service to the concept of progressive taxation and the social safety net. Hell, Simon Burns a Tory MP supports Hillary and even volunteered for her campaign.

It's truly a remarkable country and the one I would live in if not in the US.

16. Where was THAT Harry Reid during the Healthcare fight?

[ConservativeDemocrat]

23. Trying to keep Ben Nelson and Joe Lieberman on the reservation

Reid is smart enough to know that you don't make enemies out of imperfect friends, especially if you need them.

18. Ooooh, that smarts!

Completely accurate. Get fired up, Dems. Time to shut that asshole down.

[Oldtimeralso]

19. The tRUMPster knows the Constitution...

He will not take it! To him that would be cruel and unusual punishment!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. tRump 'd be blocked from US on his own criteria of "respect constitution, no racism, bigotry". nt

[royable]

21. Now Harry, don't hold back...

Tell us what you really think.

[vlyons]

22. I just took the practice test. Passed 100%

Anyone with a 9th grade education in US civics should be able to pass this test. There are 100 possible questions. An immigrant must correctly answer 6 out of 10 randomly chosen questions. It's fun. If Trump can't pass this test, he's a super dumb person. You can take the practice test at https://my.uscis.gov/prep/test/civics/

37. There are so many great one-liners and quotable quotes in this

from our brilliant, scrappy, and massively distinguished Nevada Senate Dem leader that it's hard to know where to begin, and even harder to pick a "best one"!
