We will not be lectured on immigration by a man who locks up children in cages.
=========================================================================
Donald J. Trump
The people of Germany are turning against their leadership as migration is rocking the already tenuous Berlin coalition. Crime in Germany is way up. Big mistake made all over Europe in allowing millions of people in who have so strongly and violently changed their culture!
============================================================================
As Mathieu von Rohr of the German magazine Der Spiegel pointed out, Trump’s false claim about crime in Germany — which is down 5.1 percent overall since last year and 2.4 percent for violent offenses — also misled readers about the continued popularity of Chancellor Angela Merkel, even as she resists calls for a crackdown on asylum-seekers from allied conservatives in the state of Bavaria.
Jeremy Cliffe, the Berlin bureau chief of The Economist, noted that Trump’s grasp of the politics of immigration in Germany is also shaky. While it is certainly true that Merkel’s party has lost some support to the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany, the far-right party is still supported by just 16 percent of the voters in recent polling, and its leader, Alexander Gauland, trails Merkel 50-12 in overall approval.
Undeterred by the facts, Trump followed his false claim with a second tweet, in which he revealed that the lie about Germany was part of a broader effort to cast immigration, at least by nonwhites, as an existential threat to both Europe and the United States.
We don’t want what is happening with immigration in Europe to happen with us!


This is an interesting development. Let's just say that the stank of the white nationalist Trump adviser Stephen Miller is all over this as Trump begins to consolidate his racist base for the November elections.
This article is nice evidence that the Trump administration draws a connection between immigrants from the south of the US and migrants from the Middle East and Africa into Europe.
Why does he have to lie so much?
It is about his message and his ego. Facts are irrelevant to him because he knows that his followers don't care about the truth. They want their beliefs reinforced and echoed by the government.
This POS lies every time he opens his fool mouth
German migrants are twice as likely to commit crime as Germans.
You make a good Trumpster. When he is asked why he lied about the German crime rate he will probably say the same thing you did.
Prove it.
Heck....where I live we used to whine about those damn criminal immigrants from Germany, like Herr Drumpf. We know that he was a pimp and a rum-runner, his son a KKK member and his grandson a sociopathic con artist. Nothing good has ever come from these criminal German immigrants.
Maybe it is Germany lying -
Maybe you could find a source that doesn't illicit guffaws because of its obvious bias? Gatestone is John Bolton's mouthpiece that has a middle eastern bias so obvious that even Helen Keller can see it.
Use a 3rd party source that doesn't have a dog in the fight.
prove the bias in the article.
Why would anyone place any merit on what Donald Trump says when it has been proven that he lies more than 75% of the time? Unless you agree with his xenophobia........?
What is it about immigrants that bothers you?
The GOP has been waging war on people with brown skin for decades.
Prove bias in the article. You implied it, now prove it.
Did the article say something about Trump? You are too funny.
What is it about the truth that bothers you?
What is it about immigrants that bother you? Or is it just the brown skinned ones that might not be members of your religion?
Why do you call immigrants "brown skinned"?
It seems that conservatives have a problem with any immigrant that has more melanin in their skin than Wonder bread.
They ar Elton. They have already been caught not reporting and changing reporting procedures to downplay the issue. Example - they used to count every single crime someone committed in a situation. IE rape, burglary, assault etc. now they bundle as much as they can to count it as 1.
remember people were called crazy when they said the U.K. was hiding rapes of kids... now we know it was the truth.
Immigration on the level they have done is a Trojan horse... intentional. Eventually a catalyst is going to trigger war in many of these countries. My money is on someone nuking Mecca. That will cause no go zones to spread int a base of operations for them
Of course.
sure do
Word is Trump saw someone on Fox and Friends talk about the German crime situation in this negative way and of course Trump accepts it as gospel. How embarrassing to have the POTUS led around by the nose by a show that has just about the worst reputation among all the media for factual accuracy.
Did you get a briefing this morning?
It's not that hard for people who follow such things to see a topic mentioned on Fox and Friends in the morning and then Trump is tweeting about it 20 minutes later. It has happened MANY times since he took office.
Only by his handlers.
Not very shocking, he lies over 80% of the time. Only an idiot would believe anything that comes out of trumps mouth.
Only 80%? I don't think Trump would know what truth was if it smacked him in the face and stroked his fat butt. And if he did recognize it, he would claim it was 'Fake Truth'.
Something trump could stop with an E.O. He signed E.O.'s for damn near everything else. But stopping kids from being separated from their parents? Naw.....better go golfing instead.
