Trump Calls Somali Immigrants 'Garbage'; Cabinet Gives Standing Ovation, No Clue Why

KEY POINTS

•President Trump insulted Somali immigrants calling them 'garbage' during his 2025 term, winning applause from his Cabinet.
•His rhetoric escalated from calling unauthorized immigrants 'poisoning the blood' to bizarre claims Haitian migrants eat pets in Ohio.
•The administration cut refugee caps to 7,500 and prioritized white South Africans, while dismantling civil rights protections nationwide.

President Trump made headlines again in 2025 by gleefully labeling Somali immigrants as 'garbage' who 'contribute nothing,' earning his Cabinet's enthusiastic applause, because apparently decorum is out and chaos is in. This isn't a new ride: Trump’s history of spicy comments includes calling Mexico a rapist factory in 2016, complaining about 'shithole countries' in 2018, and reviving birther conspiracies in 2024. His 2024 campaign ramped up to full Nazi-themed rhetoric, accusing unauthorized immigrants of 'poisoning our blood' and bizarre claims Haitian migrants in Ohio were eating pets. GOP figures now meme immigrants on DHS accounts and defend white nationalist interviews as 'legitimate dialogue.' Amid slashed refugee caps prioritizing white South Africans and erasing Black history, Trump spat out a Thanksgiving Truth Social rant calling 53 million immigrants 'welfare leeches from prisons, gangs, and mental hospitals' — while White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson claimed such racism is just 'transparency.' America, folks: where the Overton window apparently went to die.
