Although, I do suppose Trump's right that they "came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all)." I mean, could you imagine if America elected an orangutan with all the finesse of a wrestling heel as our heai okd of state, and had a political system where the two dominant parties are so polarised that they couldn't get together to agree on any legislation, or maybe even had the Justice Department all but state explicitly that the President is above the law (and even nominated a Supreme Court justice who just happened to believe such a thing)? And could you even imagine if one of those two parties had a sizable contingent that would agree with the statement: "I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub?" Or even if, Jah forbid, a candidate with three million less votes than the winner still ends up in the highest office in the land?
That would be a really horrible government to live with. Surely, anyone who's lived under a government that was such a "a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world" shouldn't be dictating to America how things should be done.
Detroit isn't a different country.
As a Michigander I can categorically attest to that.
It' s a different planet.
