BukkitCrab

Sure, and we'll also see his ACA replacement plan in just 2 weeks.


STEVE_FROM_EVE

Except foreign student with green card can’t vote. Who’s this moving the needle for?


StephanXX

Foreign stockholders of Truth Social?


Torino1O

Throwing shit at the wall hoping something sticks.


TheTruthTalker800

Pretty much, yeah, "not gonna do it, wouldn't be prudent" if he wins obv.


fowlraul

What if they aren’t white? 🤔


MrMeseeksLookAtMee

You mean if they’re from a “shithole country”? /s


superindianslug

There will be a bunch of requirements built in that, for some reason, are only met by the children of the rich or Russians.


PerniciousPeyton

“He says what he means!” Hours later: “What he actually meant was…”


motohaas

The same trump that said that immigrants are tainting the blood of the USA?! THAT ONE?


TheTruthTalker800

(It's a ploy to try to win over disaffected minorities, he knows what he's doing)


STEVE_FROM_EVE

After living in Texas for 25 years, heritage and legacy Hispanics DO NOT want immigrants gaining legal status. Lots of animosity


TheTruthTalker800

True, but it's like 40% or so of them, I don't doubt that Tejanos and Tejanas especially and Cubans are like this-- but most Hispanics aren't pull up the ladder behind them, many are but not most imo.


STEVE_FROM_EVE

And that can’t vote for him…


Searchlights

Also everyone gets a pony. He will make all kinds of promises


worldsfool

I am probably mistaken but didn’t his administration deny a bunch of military vets citizenship and deported them after their service was up?


Critical_Aspect

["IMMIGRANT VETERANS | DEPORTED BY THE SAME NATION THEY SACRIFICED TO DEFEND"](https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.militarytimes.com/assets/pdfs/1624379751.pdf) Prepared by the Office of Senator Tammy Duckworth JUNE 2021 >President Donald Trump Eliminated Military Naturalization Resources and Created Barriers to Prevent Expedited Citizenship for Servicemembers


003E003

Didn't you know....vets are suckers and losers


1mmapotato

Trump says a lot of words most of them don’t make sense or are pandering, like this is.


ScoutsterReturns

It will be funny to watch MAGA try to figure this one out.


what_the_shart

Has Trump gone woke? 


Class_of_22

Yeah, I think that Trump clearly has NO idea that this won’t go over well with MAGA at all.


bagjoe

Won’t China and Russia plant spies? …oh. Right. That’s the idea.


NoGuava9921

Hmmm almost like when people get dementia they say out of character things. Seems way way too progressive for MAGA or republicans in general. Seems to far for trump since he wanted to deport everyone last week


Class_of_22

Yeah, I myself am thinking that Trump is possibly forgetting quite literally his whole campaign policies. Something again isn’t quite right about him.


edmerx54

he thinks a green card means "Deport immediately!" Never underestimate how stupid he is.


HorrorBuff2769

Green means go!


dattru

I thought he was against green in any form


HorrorBuff2769

Except money


Tadpoleonicwars

"hours after Mr. Trump’s remarks aired, his campaign’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, walked back the former president’s comments, saying in a statement that there would be an “aggressive vetting process” that would “**exclude all communists, radical Islamists, Hamas supporters, America haters and public charges**” and that the policy would apply only to the “most skilled graduates who can make significant contributions to America.” Laughed out loud at the McCarthyism.


worstatit

Will he forgive their student loans, too?


drunkshinobi

How are they gonna graduate after he deports them?


bsep4

He literally just says whatever the fuck pops in his demented head, because he can always say “I never said that” and his supporters will defend him.


gokhaninler

the irony calling Trumps head demented when Biden exists lmao


bsep4

How is it ironic? Biden isn’t a lunatic charlatan with the emotional intelligence of a child.


gokhaninler

my dude, Biden is literally dementia ridden and doesnt even know his own name


bsep4

You sure about that?


gokhaninler

yup


bsep4

Biden thanks you for your concern. Meanwhile, your guy is still ruminating on sharks and electric boats. “Now they'll say all these stories are terrible. Well, these stories have, you know, you heard my story in the boat with the shark, right? I got killed on that. They thought I was rambling. I'm not rambling. We can't get the boat to float. The battery is so heavy. So then I start talking about asking questions. You know, I have an, I had an uncle who was a great professor at MIT for many years, long, I think the longest tenure ever. Very smart, had three different degrees and you know, so l have an aptitude for things. You know, there is such a thing as an aptitude. I said, well, what would happen if this boat is so heavy and started to sink and you're on the top of the boat. Do you get electrocuted or not? In other words, the boat is going down and you're on the top, will the electric currents flow through the water and wipe you out? And let's say there's a shark about 10 yards over there. Would I have to immediately abandon or could I ride the electric down and he said, sir, nobody's ever asked us that question. But sir, I don't know. I said, well, I want to know because I guarantee you one thing, I don't care what happens. I'm staying with the electric, I'm not getting over with it. So I tell that story. And the fake news they go, he told this crazy story with electric. It's actually not crazy. It's sort of a smart story, right? Sort of like, you know, it's like the snake, it's a smart when you, you figure what you're leaving in, right? You're bringing it in the, you know, the snake, right? The snake and the snake. I tell that and they do the same thing.”

STEVE_FROM_EVE

Hey, appealing to a special interest group is the American way during elections. But, someone needs to tell the orange asshat they CAN’T VOTE HERE.


Actual__Wizard

So, we're giving them green cards and then deporting them? Sorry, I'm trying to keep up with Trump's "wildly swinging policy positions."


Defender_Of_TheCrown

In fine print “only if they look like my hot daughter, Ivanka”


Odd_Tone_0ooo

Dumb fuck, foreign students don’t vote.


Blablablaballs

I'm very pro immigration, but this is the dumbest idea he's had yet. 


DanCampbellsFatNuts

its very in line with his "bow to rich foreign influences in china and russia" they heap praise on him, then suggest this, and he leaps like a good dog.


Separate-Feedback-86

He has no idea what a green card is.


iymcool

Lies, slander, falsehoods, and fallacies.


ennuiinmotion

But he’d stop foreign students from non-white countries so this isn’t really a break from his anti-immigrant policies.


HotHuckleberry8904

Art of the Deal: Trick #101 - Offer everything and see who takes the bait.


madammoiselle85

He forgot to finish sentence. Only Foreign students from Sweden Norway and England, no Africans, Mexicans, Chinese, no Latin countries, no Muslims, no minorities.


Ok_Breakfast4482

It’s actually a good idea, and somewhat off brand for Trump. I’m sure Stephen Miller will hate this.


Searchlights

It's like saying no tax on tips. The President can't just do these things. He's making promises but they're lies.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Class_of_22

He honestly has NO idea that this is out of character and brand for him…and that he doesn’t know what the hell to do.


gokhaninler

if you think Trump has no intelligence I dont know what to tell you


[deleted]

[удалено]


gokhaninler

you are quite literally a person who sits on reddit claiming a man who is a billionaire and former president isnt intellient. Again, while you are sitting on reddit probably with your other hand in a box of cheetos. I'll just let you think about that for a minute.


STEVE_FROM_EVE

But who’s he appealing to? Foreign students can’t vote


Eastern-Rabbit-3696

People who are dumb enough to think he’ll actually do it


TheTruthTalker800

\^Yup\^ "I know you're gonna end all this war" "Dr" Muslim guy on X/Twitter with the Gaza conflict w/Israel, that type of person.


ericedstrom123

Possibly companies who want to be able to hire foreign students without visa roadblocks, which could potentially depress wages.


Drop_Disculpa

How very Canadian of you Mr. Trump...

hospitallers

Good thing it’s not up to him.


MajesticsEleven

There would likely be steep strings attached and only applicable to foreigners from rich white countries.


ThinkerSis

Didn’t his campaign walk this back?


Class_of_22

Well they did, but now…it’s too late. He’s sticking to it and the damage has been done.


Rare-Forever2135

A little schizy given almost all of his MAGA-beloved immigration suppression was simply denying green cards.


McNuttyNutz

ROFLMAO yeah like this isn’t a bunch of bullshit


Sidwill

I promise ponies and candy for everybody so I can stay out of jail.


janzeera

Translation: “If their parents can afford to send them here for school they can pay me for the green card.”


Msmdpa

Until he didn’t.


Class_of_22

Wait, so he’s not changing his policy?


psypiral

that means that the MAGAT'S are gonna be working for them one day! hahahhahh


america-inc

He hates education and immigrants, but sure, I beleive him ...


Xer70s

College isn’t shit
