Donald Trump: Immigrants Are Destroying America, Middle Class Is Ready To Rebel


Last night on “The Steve Deace Show,” Donald Trump spoke to the Iowa-based host about how this time, he is really serious about running for president. He told Deace that Republicans have failed to stand up to Democratic officials who “don’t know what they’re doing” and “just want to keep taxing.”

“They talk and they continue to talk,” Trump said. “You see this huge flair of talk and then nothing happens.” And if there is one thing the almost-2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012 presidential candidate Donald Trump doesn’t like, it’s talk without action. If things don’t turn around soon, Trump warned, immigrants may destroy America and the middle class will rise up.

“People are flowing into this country by the millions, not by the thousands, by the millions, and destroying the fabric of the country,” Trump warned. “We’re talking about the highest-taxed nation in the world and the middle class is just getting decimated. I mean, everybody is hitting the middle class and something has to happen because we’re not going to have a middle class or the middle class is going to do something that you and I and nobody else is going to like and who can blame them? They are getting decimated.” http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/donald-trump-immigrants-destroying-america-middle-class-ready-rebel

We're not even close to being the 'highest-taxed nation in the world'.

And ONCE again - can I say it? My husband - an immigrant - we paid NJ taxes to bail his sorry ass out.

Every time I turn around we are bailing his failure ass out in NJ.

Unless The Donald is an indigenous, native, first-peoples American, he is an immigrant.

Pretty sure he is one of those aliens. You know, the kind sent to blow smoke and divert in advance of the real assault. At which point he will rip off his orange-furred humanoid suit to reveal the one-eyed salivating and warted monster he really is.

Trump has never been to the Statue of Liberty? Never heard of Ellis Island or Castle Gardens? I think the majority of us take PRIDE in those landmarks, and what they stand for!!!!!!

Great-Grand-Daughter of POOR Irish and Italian IMMIGRANTS to New York. Hey, Mr. Trump, so are YOU. Your ancestors are not NATIVE AMERICANS.
