It seems like the movie Scarface must be playing in Trump’s head on an endless loop - where else could he possibly be getting this crap?

Say hello to my little racist immigration policy!

He is just an awful awful person. And he seems to be really scared of people that don’t look exactly like him.

If they claimed to be members of the Taliban, he’d invite them to Camp David.

I hope trump dies the most painful, most exposing, most revealing death one can imagine. To turn back people who have had their lives shredded and who obviously have only the clothes on their backs by a savage storm that didn’t hit Alabama and who therefore don’t happen to have that visa that was in that dresser that got mangled and is now sunk in a harbor is cruelty beyond belief.
Sorry for the run on sentence…

Trump must be very impressed by the prescience of gang members and drug dealers — what a plan! Manufacture a major hurricane, and infiltrate the US with the refugees after the storm. Gotta work…

Wonder how you define “people that weren’t supposed to be in the Bahamas”? If they bring a note from home about why they were in the Bahamas, would that suffice?

“Everybody needs totally proper documentation,” Trump told reporters.

Speaking of which, where’s the totally proper documentation that you promised us for Melania more than three years ago?

The man imagines himself to be running a massive protection racket for the “right” kind of people; but, simultaneously, he’s so pathetically terrified of being recognized as the utter failure he really is…

Someone must have shown him a picture of people working on their tans on the beaches in the Bahamas before the hurricane, so he decided they are the same as Mexicans and other people with brown skin.

I really wonder what it’s going to take Trump down, stuff like this from any other president would have ended their administration, Trump just keeps rolling no matter how nasty he becomes.

Hurricane survivors on a ferry destined for Florida on Sunday were ordered to disembark if they did not have a U.S. visa.

These hurricane survivors who were ordered to disembark included babies — because, you know, you can never be too careful with baby drug dealers and baby gang members…

His comments contradict those of acting Customs and Border Patrol Commissioner Mark Morgan, who said several hours earlier that evacuees from the Bahamas would be allowed to enter the U.S. “whether you have travel documents or not.”

Scene at Rapist Drug Gang HQ:

Criminal1: “Hey, I think we should get into the US. But how?”

Criminal2: “I have a great plan. There is a massive, deadly hurricane in the Atlantic. Let’s take our little motorboat across the sea to an island that is about to be devastated. Then we can get rescued, and come to the US with nothing.”

Cheeto Idiot: “That is a great plan. And I thought of it first”

Or adult drug dealers and gang members disguised as baby drug dealers and gang members.

No one looks exactly like him; Some are overweight. Some do have complex comb overs. Others have jowls. Children have small hands. Short men sometimes wear lifts. Rarely do you see well off individuals sporting horrible fitting suits.

But you’d have to combine all those traits to look exactly like #45.
