America weeps with Lady Liberty…as our tears turn to fears.

“Give me your tired, your poor…”

“…from shithole countries… a massive invasion at our southern border has spread misery, crime, poverty, disease, and destruction to communities all across our land… migrants…are poisoning the blood of our country…bad genes…bad blood…vermin…This is country-changing, it’s country-threatening, and it’s country-wrecking. They have wrecked our country … “

“Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,”….

“…they’re bringing the criminals, the rapists, animal stone cold killers, the worst people and enemy from within… We have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical left lunatics. And I think it should be easily handled by the National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military, because they can’t let that happen…”

“The wretched refuse of your teeming shore”

“…they’re coming from insane asylums…they’re eating the cats, they’re eating the dogs… good genes, strong genes, the best genes, stable genes, stable genius …. They can’t even speak English. They don’t even know what country they’re in, practically…. bing-bing-bong-bong…”

“Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,”

…deportation …detention camps… mind of a fascist …enemy of the people…why can’t I have Hitler’s Generals?… immigrants are genetically predisposed to commit crimes…. 34 felony counts …convicted felon…. They’re taking Black jobs, and they’re taking Hispanic jobs, and you haven’t seen it yet, but you’re going to see something that’s going to be the worst in our history…my beautiful white skin…

“I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

…Golden Arches …We the People… You deserve a break today …Democracy, Autocracy…Kakistocracy…I will be a dictator on day one… I say young man it’s time to put on your crown…
