    Good grief, I thought this post was just a joke, but he actually said it. It's ok though, his term's nearly over, right? Right??

    So... how do you reduce something like people crossing a border beyond one hundred percent ?

    Numbers nobody has seen before. Lol.

    Every Trump action is appearently the best ones ever made in the history of civilization.

    If Jesus would come back, he would be second to Trump in how amazing he is.

    OP please post a link, I can't believe they are this bad at math, unless they mean people are now "illegally" crossing out of the US

    Edit: this is real, oh myyy! https://www.whitehouse.gov/remarks/2025/02/remarks-by-president-trump-before-cabinet-meeting/

    I'm guessing they mean an over 100% increase of the decrease of the period-over-period amount.

    It's not necessarily wrong, but it is, in fact, a really, really stupid way of communicating information, which is very on brand of them and their supporters.

    Listen, if you have to jump through hoops to stretch the meaning of a phrase, just to raise the idea that the phrase might not be completely asinine, it might be a better use of your time to just let it be. You shouldn't have to do mental gymnastics and word judo just to squeeze a non-obvious semi-literate meaning out of something the leader of the free world said. Don't do their work for them (unless you are being paid to do their work for them, of course... but get paid up front, because they aren't very good about honoring contracts).

    It's insane that he can just pull random numbers out of his ass and his supporters will keep taking them as fact.

    USA has not contributed 3 times as much as EU in support of Ukraine. In fact it has contributed less.

    So people are fleeing the US? That's not the brag you think it is...

    If it's over 100%, does that mean he's pushing out people in the US? 🤔

    Look at the front page, and also great articles such as "Biden Spent Millions on Transgender Animal Experiments" and "President Trump is Leading with Peace Through Strength."

    ~~Looks like it isn’t real.

    https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/02/illegal-border-crossings-plummeted-in-january/ ~~

    I’ve been corrected. Is is real. It makes sense that they were just documenting his word salad.

    This is a transcript of a meeting. Those are words that trump did say, but this screenshot is cropped deliberately to hide that fact.

    This is one of the typical lies that trump is known to make in speeches. This isn't a whitehouse staff member publishing those words as a written statement the office stands behind.

    Lol illegal crossings caught / reported. The majority of illegals come over legally and just overstay their vacation, education, work, business, or deplomat visa. Why bother crossing illegally when you can just request a vacation visa or day visa and just disappear into the country. (Yes those without passports will have to sneak across but it's way easier than the Trump administration will have you believe.) Yes thousands get caught but millions go back and forth without. Yes most go back without needing the US government to force them.

    What percent of immigration is illegal? I'm beginning to suspect Republicans are actually pro immigration (gotta have those slaves) but need to be loudly against it, hence the crackdown on illegal immigrants
