The truth is irrelevant to Trump and his sycophantic MAGAts.

I don’t get why a Central African country would try to send their prisoners halfway around the world - that would be insanely expensive and a logistical nightmare.
I feel like Trump must think the Congo is in South America instead of Africa…
He definitely thinks.its in Central/South America. To be fair if he was corrected he would not admit it, so we won't ever know.
I’m from the UK and our disgusting government is shipping immigrants that arrive on small boats to Rwanda for some fucking reason. None of these people seeking a better place to live are actually from Rwanda. Never mind that our own Supreme Court ruled Rwanda is not a safe country. That’s where we’re ship people off to. It’s absolutely insane.
Whether or not this is true - at least the UK is an island. This isn’t as far fetched as a land locked poor country somehow shipping people 18hrs by plane….
I was concerned reading this because I was thinking, "I'm sure Congo is in Africa, am I really that ignorant that I don't know the continent it's on?"
But, of course, it was Trump being stupid. Shouldn't have doubted myself over that idiot
CNN . . . meet me over on camera 3.
CNN . . . people. You must, okay must use the word “lies” with trump. Okay. This is not a request or optional. The literal fate of the world is at stake. Do. Not. Fail. Again.
Can I be the first to welcome the esteemed and honourable great nation of The Democratic Republic of Congo, To the Post Truth Era.
Can they sue him for slander?
Interesting question. I believe political speeches are protected in some ways. Calls to violence such as Jan 6 is not. Lying your ass off about everything else is. But I am not 100 percent clear.
They have much bigger fish to fry at the moment. Particularly the DRC which is facing hostility from Rwanda and an incursion of a military force.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“Everything he is saying isn’t true,” Democratic Republic of Congo spokesperson Patrick Muyaya Katembwe told CNN in a text message on Thursday.
Asked specifically about Trump’s claims about Congolese prisons being emptied of violent criminals, he said, “Never ever, it’s not true.” And, he said, “we want him to stop” telling these stories, since “it’s very bad for the country.”
Serge Mombouli, the Republic of Congo’s ambassador to the US, said in an email to CNN on Friday: “There is no truth or any sign nor a single fact supporting such a claim or statement.”
Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, keeps making claims about emptied Congolese prisons as he criticizes President Joe Biden’s handling of immigration.
“I’ve not heard anything about emptying of Congolese prisons,” Lewis Mudge, Central Africa director for Human Rights Watch, said of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Then, while running again in 2023, Trump repeatedly told an unsubstantiated story about mental health institutions in South America, including “insane asylums,” being deliberately emptied for nefarious migration purposes.
