In a lengthy Thanksgiving address delivered via Truth Social, President Donald Trump launched a scathing critique of America’s approach to immigration. His post highlighted what he perceives as the detrimental effects of foreign influx on US society and culture.
“The official United States Foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), most of which are on welfare, from failed nations,” Trump contended. He further alleged that these individuals contribute significantly to various social issues now prevalent in America, suggesting a breakdown in national cohesion. The president warned of the severe consequences this immigration policy allegedly has brought upon the nation.
Trump singled out Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as emblematic of the perceived problem: “The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota… does nothing.” He further accused Representative Ilhan Omar of being an obstacle to resolving the situation, branding her actions and comments as detrimental. Both officials are presented by Trump as complicit in maintaining policies he believes have led to widespread social dysfunction.
He amplified this message with a call for drastic action: “Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation.” This demand was underscored by his vow following the Wednesday incident involving National Guard members deployed near Washington, D.C. The shooting prompted Trump’s most forceful immigration declaration yet in this Thanksgiving post.
The President also shared details about his recent MRI results. He claimed “outstanding” health outcomes from the scan and implied a connection between his well-being and the nation’s ability to implement stricter policies. This suggestion came amidst reports of a migrant allegedly linked to intelligence operations facing legal charges related to the incident in D.C.
This Thanksgiving message serves as another platform for President Trump to push his hardline immigration agenda, framing it as essential for reversing the perceived negative trends affecting American society and culture.
