Y'all trippin thinking Trump is going to bring back earmarks and slap them with regulations.
His administration is going to regulate those but try to deregulate everything else?

Eh, whatever. I mean, I've said stuff like that at least once.

He's not wrong, but it's not really a question anyone needed to ask (let alone the lack of diplomacy, but it's not like anyone's shocked by Trump's lack of tact). Heck, people don't even leave countries that are doing kinda bad. People immigrate to another country when their own is shitty. When those countries stop being shitty, they're stop emigrating, because what will be the point?
Of the African-born population in the US age 25 and older, 87.9% reported having a high school degree or higher, compared with 78.8% of Asian-born immigrants and 76.8% of European-born immigrants, respectively. Africans from Kenya (90.8 percent), Nigeria (89.1 percent), Ghana (85.9 percent), Botswana (84.7 percent), and Malawi (83 percent) were the most likely to report having a high school degree or higher.

Oh man, I can't believe the shitty racist president is being a shitty racist.

Fuck right off. Anyone with a modicum of sense has known he's like this for years, and to feign surprise at this point is grosser to me than Trump. It's like releasing a gorilla into a kindergarten and then acting shocked and mildly reproachful when it starts fighting children. The only conservative response worth anything I've seen is from the mercurial Bill Kristol:Bill Kristol wrote:Two weeks ago a 26-year old soldier raced repeatedly into a burning Bronx apartment building, saving four people before he died in the flames. His name was Pvt. Emmanuel Mensah and he immigrated from Ghana, a country Donald Trump apparently thinks produces very subpar immigrants.
“The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used. What was really tough was the outlandish proposal made – a big setback for DACA!” Trump wrote on Twitter.
Trump then suggested that the United States should instead bring more people from countries such as Norway, whose prime minister he met with Wednesday. The president, according to a White House official, also suggested he would be open to more immigrants from Asian countries because he felt that they help the United States economically.
President Trump said he has called off a planned ceremonial visit to Britain because he didn’t want to be associated with what he called a bad real estate deal in which the U.S. Embassy is being relocated from central London to “an off location.”
In a Twitter message shortly before midnight Thursday, Trump implicitly rejected reports that the trip — never announced but widely assumed to be in February — was being scrapped over concerns that the U.S. leader would be met with widespread protests.
“Reason I canceled my trip to London is that I am not a big fan of the Obama Administration having sold perhaps the best located and finest embassy in London for ‘peanuts,’ only to build a new one in an off location for 1.2 billion dollars. Bad deal. Wanted me to cut ribbon-NO,” Trump wrote.
In fact, it was the George W. Bush administration that decided more than a decade ago to relocate the embassy during a worldwide push for greater security at U.S. diplomatic sites.
President Trump is set Friday to undergo his first physical exam since taking office — a move that could offer a rare public snapshot of the 71-year-old leader's health.
"I think it's going to go very well," Trump told reporters Thursday. "I'll be very surprised if it doesn't."
The exam will be overseen by Dr. Ronny Jackson, a Navy rear admiral who directs the White House medical unit.
It's not clear how much information the president will share about Friday's work-up, which will be conducted at Walter Reed National Medical Center outside Washington, D.C. Press secretary Sarah Sanders said Jackson will brief reporters on the results Tuesday, Jan. 16, and she expects Trump will be about as forthcoming as his predecessors.
