The story is our country, and Trump is destroying it, and who knows what his reasons are, but it's sick, it's f***** up. We have to save this country. You have to lift people up. You have to bring them together. You can't divide people, you can't win that way.
In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote that much of Minnesota Fraud, up to 90%, is caused by people that came into our Country, illegally, from Somalia. He also repeated attacks on Somali American Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, calling her one of the many scammers. Send them back from where they came, Somalia, perhaps the worst, and most corrupt, country on earth, Trump wrote.
"I inherited a mess, and I'm fixing it," President Donald Trump said at the start of his 20-minute Wednesday evening national address, soon adding, "We had men playing in women's sports, transgender for everybody," barely a minute into his speech. "For the last four years, the United States was ruled by politicians who fought only for insiders, illegal aliens, career criminals, corporate lobbyists, prisoners, terrorists and, above all, foreign nations," he said, "They indoctrinated your children with hate for America."
I actually talked in that post about Mamdani, I talked about Ilhan Omar, I talked about the gentleman you recognize. These are all wealthy foreigners who moved to the United States and then constantly talk about how bad it is, said Fine. If folks want to come to America, they should love it, they should share its values, and they should want to add value immediately, and far too many people who are coming do not share those values and I believe it is a threat. The barbarians are no longer at the gate, they are now inside.
The far-right has been steadily gaining ground across Europe in the past few years, with the right-wing populist Reform UK and the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) now often leading opinion polls. This comes despite or perhaps because of the fact that political leaders of the major centrist parties have attempted to win over their voters by imposing ever-tougher measures on immigration and using more anti-immigrant rhetoric.
When I was 17 and leaving India to go to college in the United States, I packed two suitcases with DKNY sweaters, blue jeans, and a Michael Kors backpack with gold buckles-everything I imagined would allow me to fit right in. Some 20 years later, I packed considerably more suitcases and cartons to move from India to London, to take up a promotion at work.
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground.
