Donald Trump has never been one to mince his words as it relates to public speaking, but his late-night Thanksgiving message to Americans might have raised eyebrows even among his followers.
Following a day of renewed debate regarding immigration in the US – centering around the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington DC earlier this week – Trump pushed a firm-handed, if not vitriolic narrative where he, among other ramblings, branded Governor Tim Walz “retarded” and called for a permanent pause on all immigration from “all Third World Countries.”
The Truth Social post in question began with a standard message of holiday greetings for Americans, but rapidly devolved into a rant focused on immigration, crime, and the putting down of his political opponents.
Trump reacted angrily earlier this week in the wake of two members of the National Guard being shot close to the White House. The suspected shooter – in hospital after being shot four times by law enforcement – has been identified as 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national who arrived in the US in September 2021.
