No, you're right it's not outrageous in itself. The message--that Trump doesn't want people from poor countries coming here--is what bothered me but it didn't surprise me. Not because it's racist but because he's a snob. Being born with a silver spoon in his mouth, I guess it's understandable but dang! If all he was doing was making a point about merit based immigration, then he should have said something about it. His comment was the OPPOSITE.Tears of rage aren't an "emotional breakdown" or histrionic, or anything else. But like I said before, keep it up. Saying what he did certainly doesn't make me think any worse of him. For anyone it did, it's just superficial silliness. OOOOOHHHHH----look, he got emotional! Must be a fairy! Put him in your stereotypical basket of snowflakes and dismiss him.
If one of you got that enraged, I wouldn't think any less of you, either.
I appreciate that
but I do think his reaction was somewhat exaggerated
and the "histrionics" I am talking about is the cumulative effect of outrage towards Trump over things that are truly not outrageous
calling impoverished 3rd world countries "shitholes" in a private meeting is certainly not outrageous IMO
We are not as a nation obligated to take in and support all the flotsam and jetsam produced by the human condition. What sense does it make to diminish our own country by bringing foreign troubles here, accomplishing nothing but easing the load for every corrupt government on the planet?
It's just like public education. They mandated the dummies study with the smart kids, and now all are equally stupid. I cannot fathom from where support for such thinking arises.
Help people, yes. Take on their problems? No. Their problems will soon become yours.
