Norway’s Prime Minister rebuffed Trump’s stupid immigration statement

In January 2018 when Trump referred to Haiti and African countries as “shithole” countries, he said he’d be OK with having immigrants come from [white countries such as] Norway. 

Immediately Norway’s Prime Minister rebuffed Trump’s racist ignorance by saying more people are going from the U.S. to Norway than from there to here.

Here is an article about that:  https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/1/24/1735614/-A-quick-message-from-Norway-s-Prime-Minister?detail=emaildkre

 

Trump pretends to like Norway.  Wouldn’t he be surprised to find out what Norway really has?  A peaceful foreign policy!  Health care for everyone!  High taxes for rich people and corporations!  A huge social safety net!  A truly humane and nonviolent criminal justice system!

What the U.S. really need is the “welfare state” such as the Scandinavian countries offer.  Their people are healthier, happier, and more community-minded.  The petition at this link is old, but you might want to sign it anyway supporting Scandinavia’s “welfare state” as a great model for the U.S. to emulate:
