Trump Reiterates Preference for Immigrants from 'Nice' Countries

At a recent fundraiser, former President Donald Trump revisited his controversial stance on immigration, emphasizing a desire for immigrants from wealthy, predominantly white countries.

During a fundraiser in Florida, Trump defended his 2018 comments about preferring immigrants from countries like Denmark and Norway, while disparaging those from 'shithole countries.'
Trump's remarks reflect a pattern of revisiting controversial statements after initial backlash has subsided, suggesting a strategic use of racist rhetoric.
The former president also linked his immigration views to his economic policies, promising to extend tax cuts for wealthy Americans if reelected.
Critics argue Trump's immigration stance is rooted in ignorance and racism, ignoring the economic and humanitarian reasons driving migration from poorer countries.
Trump's fundraising efforts at the event reportedly raised over $50 million, highlighting his continued influence within the Republican Party.
