Trump advances in his anti-immigration rhetoric by calling people from Somalia "trash"

It wasn't a mistake. In fact, President Donald Trump's verbal attacks against migrants have been increasing since he said that Mexico was sending "rapists" across the border during the announcement of his presidential campaign a decade ago. He has also echoed the rhetoric used in his day by Adolf Hitler and said that the 54 nations of Africa were "shithole countries." But with the flourish with which he ended a two-hour meeting of his government on Tuesday, the Republican further intensified his rhetoric against migrants and abandoned any claim that his executive only wanted to expel people who are in the United States without the proper permits.

"We don't want them in our country," Trump said on five occasions, referring to the 260,000 people of Somali descent in the country. "Let them go back to where they came from and fix it."
