2025 December

2025-12-09 During a rally at the Mount Airy Casino Resort in Pocono, Pennsylvania, Trump went on a rant about why we only take immigrants from predominantly non-white countries and lamented that we don’t receive more immigrants from Norway, Sweden or Denmark. For context, most citizens of countries like Norway don’t enter the US because it would technically be a downgrade in standards for them, as they enjoy better social healthcare, earn more income while working fewer hours, are recorded to live longer, women enjoy their right and advocacy to their own health care choices, and things like medical coverage, retirement and paid leave aren’t tied up into employment. People who come from what Trump frequently refers to as “shit-hole” countries leave because powerful global leaders extract wealth and democracy from their countries in the first place.

2026 March

2026-03-12 In May of 2025 Trump had accused South Africa of white genocide and invited white South Afrikaners to migrate to the U.S. By March 2026, those who migrated to the U.S. decided it would be best to return to South Africa, citing a better cost of living in South Africa, less racism, and concerns over growing violence from the Trump regime such as the execution of American citizens by ICE. One article quotes a South Afrikaner as stating, “People are being shot in broad daylight. American citizens are being shot and killed. I don’t want to live in a place like this”.
