U.S. President Donald Trump said on March 2 that the U.S. should “spend less time worrying about Putin,” and instead focus on immigrants who engage in a range of alleged criminal behavior.

“We should spend less time worrying about Putin, and more time worrying about migrant rape gangs, drug lords, murderers, and people from mental institutions entering our country — so that we don’t end up like Europe!” he said in a post on Truth Social.
That’s not happening, but okay…
The post comes just days after the U.S. under Trump’s administration welcomed Andrew and Tristan Tate — social media influencers accused of rape, human trafficking, and money laundering — into the country from Romania where they were under criminal investigation.
Oh…
These robber barons don’t even bother to hide their bullshit anymore.
That’s not happening, but okay…
Overreporting can make it look like so. Hungarian media did that with crimes commited by Roma individuals, to the point they were remembering the victims of the more infamous crimes yearly, and I still see racist jokes referencing the Blaha Lujza square knifing, and boomers still tell me to not bring an MP3 player (!) with myself if I go to Budapest.
My dad sent me an insane video about “migrant problems in Germany.” I live in Germany (as an immigrant, no less), and although almost every aspect of the video was incorrect, exaggerated, and distorted, it was plausible for an anglophone audience who don’t have direct experience with German culture.
He honestly thought I was in more danger in (somewhat rural) Germany than in one of the 20 most dangerous cities in the US. I’ve had my lost wallet returned to me here, money still in place.

This has happened to me when I lost my wallet in Pennsylvania as well
Yes, it can happen anywhere (and a good relationship with your neighbors is the best way to improve your safety anywhere). There is an office in town hall for it here, though, which is pretty wild to me. An unknown number just called me and told me to come pick it up, and it wasn’t extortion!
I still don’t know how they got my number. It was a prepaid phone and the number’s not in my wallet. If they wanted to cross reference my address registration they could, but that’s so much work.
It’s not that much work. It’s probably just punching your license number into the computer.
I didn’t have an id issued by Germany in my wallet at the time, nor did I have anything with my German address on it. I was still registered with the town, so they could do it by name and DOB, but that’s still more than I would expect.
I told this story wrong, and didn’t mention any of this, though lol.
Oh, I forgot that this was in Germany. Yeah, it’s probably far more hassle there; I know how Germany is about data protection.
Same, but I’m in Indiana. They put it under my wiper blade. Ironically, I live in an area with a large immigrant population, so that may have had an influence on the fact that it was returned.
I have had similar talks with extended family members that immigrated to the Netherlands, they complained how the country was ruined by immigrants…
“Spend less time worrying about an actual threat and more time worrying about these make-believe threats.”
He’s right. We should stop paying attention to Putin, since we have an Orange Putin at home to worry about now.
Orange Putin sock puppet would probably be more accurate, but yeah
