Washington: There is a political storm in America at this time. Because Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump is becoming more vocal after the attack on him regarding the presidential election. He has given a controversial statement on Wednesday (local time). This statement is in the headlines not only in America but all over the world. Trump on Wednesday condemned countries around the world and claimed without any evidence that “criminals, rapists, vicious gang members” and people from “mental institutions and insane asylums” are coming to the United States from South America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
Trump has expanded his racist rhetoric to include regions beyond Latin America, expressing his vision of a devastation of the United States by illegal immigrants. He blamed his opponent, Kamala Harris, for this so-called “massive invasion,” saying she “will destroy our country” and should “get out of here.”
Trump seems desperate to win
The former president, who survived a deadly attack but is still in the race to overtake Harris in the presidential race, is clearly showing his desperation to do anything to win. In this desperation, he has doubled down on his scathing remarks on the issue of illegal immigration, which earlier focused mainly on Central and South America. In his statement, he said that countries like Venezuela and El Salvador are deliberately emptying their prisons and mental institutions to send criminals and lunatics to the US, which is reducing the crime rate in their countries while it is increasing in the US.
According to a TOI report, Trump’s allegation that the leaders of the countries and regions he named and their ambassadors in the US have ignored his remarks is ridiculous, which has been widely appreciated by his MAGA supporters.
Trump may continue the attack
Fact checkers who have found no evidence or data to support Trump’s claims have thrown up their hands, though one magazine warned that he will continue to lie about immigrants because it has worked for him in the past. “But we cannot ignore the vitriol he continues to spread as if it is normal,” the magazine wrote.
