Good grief, I thought this post was just a joke, but he actually said it. It's ok though, his term's nearly over, right? Right??

[–] SGforce@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Only because the meaning of "term" may change.

So... how do you reduce something like people crossing a border beyond one hundred percent ?

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 121 points 1 month ago (1 children)

People trying to get out of the country, I guess

They're crossing on the opposite direction now

[–] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago

American refugees trying to enter Mexico and Canada.

Numbers nobody has seen before. Lol.

Every Trump action is appearently the best ones ever made in the history of civilization.

If Jesus would come back, he would be second to Trump in how amazing he is.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

Second place? Believe it or not, it's also Trump.

[–] PanArab@lemm.ee 49 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (6 children)

OP please post a link, I can't believe they are this bad at math, unless they mean people are now "illegally" crossing out of the US

Edit: this is real, oh myyy! https://www.whitehouse.gov/remarks/2025/02/remarks-by-president-trump-before-cabinet-meeting/

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'm guessing they mean an over 100% increase of the decrease of the period-over-period amount.

It's not necessarily wrong, but it is, in fact, a really, really stupid way of communicating information, which is very on brand of them and their supporters.

Listen, if you have to jump through hoops to stretch the meaning of a phrase, just to raise the idea that the phrase might not be completely asinine, it might be a better use of your time to just let it be. You shouldn't have to do mental gymnastics and word judo just to squeeze a non-obvious semi-literate meaning out of something the leader of the free world said. Don't do their work for them (unless you are being paid to do their work for them, of course... but get paid up front, because they aren't very good about honoring contracts).

if you can do the linear algebra equations necessary to make all these nonsense statements have a glimmer of truth you should emigrate to the EU while you still can

[–] Ricaz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago

It's insane that he can just pull random numbers out of his ass and his supporters will keep taking them as fact.

USA has not contributed 3 times as much as EU in support of Ukraine. In fact it has contributed less.

So people are fleeing the US? That's not the brag you think it is...

[–] bravesilvernest@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If it's over 100%, does that mean he's pushing out people in the US? 🤔

[–] Lesrid@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Yes actually, and he's making some crossings super legal to compensate further.

Look at the front page, and also great articles such as "Biden Spent Millions on Transgender Animal Experiments" and "President Trump is Leading with Peace Through Strength."

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 month ago (4 children)

"Biden Spent Millions on Transgender Animal Experiments"

Wait, are they confusing "transgender" and "transgenic"?

[–] drbluefall@toast.ooo 10 points 1 month ago

Yes. Because they are just that dumb.

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

Yes, they also cut funding to a special education transition program because they think it means libs are transitioning school kids.

This is a transcript of a meeting. Those are words that trump did say, but this screenshot is cropped deliberately to hide that fact.

This is one of the typical lies that trump is known to make in speeches. This isn't a whitehouse staff member publishing those words as a written statement the office stands behind.

[–] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 15 points 1 month ago

Nobody wants to move to a shithole country I guess.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

Lol illegal crossings caught / reported. The majority of illegals come over legally and just overstay their vacation, education, work, business, or deplomat visa. Why bother crossing illegally when you can just request a vacation visa or day visa and just disappear into the country. (Yes those without passports will have to sneak across but it's way easier than the Trump administration will have you believe.) Yes thousands get caught but millions go back and forth without. Yes most go back without needing the US government to force them.

Step 1: Turns country towards fascism

Step 2: ???

Step 3: ~~Profit?~~ Genocide?

And what official body is in charge of keeping the official record and count of illegal immigrants crossing the border? Seems to me it's most likely DHS and ice reporting and isn't it in their own best interest to inflate the numbers or deflate them to appease the Nazis?

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Lowest numbers in a decade.

Which is not the flex they intend it to be.

[–] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

So what they're saying is that everyone is leaving the US, can't imagine why

What percent of immigration is illegal? I'm beginning to suspect Republicans are actually pro immigration (gotta have those slaves) but need to be loudly against it, hence the crackdown on illegal immigrants

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Trump has (so far) been deporting at a slower rate than Obama's or Biden s highest rate. He seems to be mostly making a big show to discourage border crossings. It's kinda working, but even regular travelers on tourist's visas are getting the 9th degree when entering the country. My daughter's UK boyfriend was grilled for 90 minutes with questions like, "Why don't you have more underwear packed?"

He means by 100%... or he's even more stupid than we ever imagined and we imagined him being pretty stupid
