Nevermind, I found it in a Snopes article. From Canada, for a family of legal refugees, in Canadian money :smack::smack::smack:
It’s the number that is received by a family of five. In Canada. So, totally relevant.
Missed edit window.
But wait, it gets better. On further research, the “$3874” figure comes from a 2017 Facebook post that actually refers to benefits due a family of refugees, not individual illegal immigrants. Refugees in Canada.
OK, gotta laugh over that one.
Yeah, I don’t think the statement “Illegals can get up to $3,874 a month under Federal Assistance program” could possibly BE more wrong.
I think we all just proved that it wouldn’t have taken all that much effort for Trump to get the actual facts.
Well now, clearly with the sinister forces of the Deep State arrayed against him as they are, there’s no way he can trust anything some minion from a government department tells him, eh?
Obviously, any effort is too much.
Why would he want actual facts? They are irrelevant to his followers. I’m just surprised the figure has any connection to any real number, and wasn’t just made up out of thin air.
It’s $CAD 3874i.
I thought it was 124C41+ Ralphs.
Our McCarthyesque* White House Occupant sez:
*in both the “similar to Joe McCarthy in his political behavior” and “similar to Charlie McCarthy in his relationship to Uncle Vlad” senses.
I can hardly believe that Trump has any conception of McCarthyism. I suppose something like this:
Sycophant: “Write something about McCarthy!”
Trump: “Who the fuck is McCarthy?”
Sycophant: “Well, some historic guy with a bad reputation. He’s famous for a witch hunt.”
Trump: “Witch hunt, that’s good! Done. McCarthy, McCarthy!!!”
Come now…as bad a ventriloquist as Edgar Bergen was, he was far less obvious than Putin.
The AP is on the case: AP FACT CHECK: Entire Trump tweet on immigrant aid is wrong
But wait; there’s more!
What a fucking ignoramus Trump is.
Not really, since per christianity saints are also sinners. Maybe tempt… tem… ok, I’m having a WTF-language moment, why do I know the female version but not the male one? So. Dictionary. A tempter.
Dunnow, I can think of other people to whom that would apply more fittingly.
Trump suggests he’s looking into tariffs on car imports. I certainly can’t see any downside or unintended negative consequences of such an action. :rolleyes:
Daddy, what did you say the difference between Republicans and Democrats was, again???
The shit is hitting the fan.
Tomorrow morning’s tweet storm should be interesting.
For those who wish to follow that in real time, please set your clocks to UTC+3.
