The president had another, preposterous day today.
-
On twitter this morning he did something very, very Trumpy.
-
He tweeted"In new Quinnipiac Poll.
-
66% of people feel the economy is 'excellent or good'.
-
That is the highest number ever recorded by this poll".
-
True, the part of the poll he didn't mention is,
-
far more of the people polled
-
believe president Obama's responsible for the stronger economy.
-
Not him. 49% to 40%.
-
And not only that, 63% of those polled
-
said president Trump is not honest.
-
And 56% give him an "F" or "D" grade for his first year in office.
-
Same poll that he tweeted.
-
It was... What a day it was today.
-
They're all big days but this one,
-
president Trump today.
-
He rejected a bipartisan deal for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, DACA.
-
which is the program that protects young immigrants
-
who are brought to the United States as children, people like Melania.
-
Who wound up here, and, but apparently,
-
what trump objected to in the bipartisan plan
-
was(were) the senators from both sides.
-
who wanted to restore protections for immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador,
-
and a handful of African countries.
-
They had to be rescued from difficult situations in those countries.
-
Not only did trump reject the plan, he said.
-
And before I share what specifically he said.
-
I would like you to keep in mind this is an actual quote.
-
From the actual president of the United States.
-
We can put this up on screen and explain this.
-
I apologize for using this word here.
-
But this is a quote from the president.
-
Why are we having all these people from [bleep] hole countries come here?
-
Trump said, this is in "The Washington Post".
-
According to these people who are in the meeting.
-
Referring to African Countries and Haiti.
-
He then suggested that the United States go about bringing in people from other countries like Norway,
-
whose prime minister he met with yesterday.
-
Well, listen, I'm sure the fact that countries he described as [bleep] holes are mostly populated by people of color
-
and the immigrants he wants from Norway are not, is a coincidence.
-
Because, if it wasn't, it would mean we voted for a racist.
-
Like a real one.
-
And we'd have to get pitchforks and chase him out of the White House.
-
But, I also assume the White House would deny he said that.
-
They did not.
-
They just tried to spin it.
-
It really is unfathomable.
-
You just can't believe that this is the guy running our country.
-
The only silver lining, and this is a small silver lining, but.
-
The only silver lining is we got to hear Wolf Blitzer say this all day.
-
S-hole, s-hole, s-hole, s-hole, s-hole, s-hole, s-hole.
-
What an s-hole.
-
That would make a great alarm clock
-
So anyway, thanks Vlad Putin, you really got us good.
