In a mid-April speech to the National Rifle Association, Trump said: “I read a story not long ago where a man who takes care of a large segment of people in a mental institution in a South American country, a doctor, sounded like a great man actually – he said he no longer has anything to do. He used to work 24-hour days. He said, ‘All of our patients have been released into the United States of America.’”
Trump added more color to the story in a Thursday campaign speech in New Hampshire: “There was a story recently about a psychologist. Or psychiatrist. But a psychologist. Who worked in mental wards in South America. And he said, ‘I worked 24…’ – a good man – he worked 24 hours a day taking care of very mentally ill people. And he was sitting there reading a newspaper and they asked him, what – what’s he doing? He said, ‘I have no more work. The people have all been let go into the United States.’ Can you believe? This is what we’re doing.”
It's unclear where this story actually came from. He has provided no source.

Um, that’s capitalism. Even if inflation is 2% or under there’s still people along the entire spectrum of the economic strata. Life still sucks when you make $30,000 a year. I’ve been there myself. It’s not any single government’s fault for that. It’s the system we live in. If you want socialism or a classless society then join your local communist party.

I didn’t either really. Was it one I got? Can’t remember. Was busting my hump everyday for 55 hours a week.

If prices go up 20% or more in three years that's way beyond the usual 2%. You don't make excuses, you find solutions.

That’s exactly where Harris is going to take the Country. Those are her core values of her political ideology
catstalking
ie qt
we are on top of a mountain of debt and have exported our inflation through monetary policy
when other countries decide to stop using the USD as a reserve currency, the whole thing collapses
i have no idea when this will happen, but historically it always does

This is key. And also not gonna happen IF we continue leading the world and not back out of that responsibility. If we turn inward this process you aptly describe will happen faster.
catstalking
ie qt
it literally isn't, she is a Center-Right corporate stooge, like 99% of the the US political establishment; the marxist/socialist stuff is kabuki theater for the left AND right wings
she may publicly support some lefty cultural stuff, but she is controlled by financiers 100%
catstalking
ie qt
it always happens, you can't escape history
this is a stupid trap that countries fall into, we aren't any wiser than anyone else and trying to "lead the world" can only be done at gunpoint, and you can't keep that up forever
yes, but we will survive for it as opposed to being destroyed utterly

did you also hear the story of crime in el salvador being down 70 percent because they sent all their criminals to us?
did you also hear the story that venezuela refuses to take their hardened criminals back.
those stories are easily verifiable.
Since you're taking the time to listen to Trumps speeches there is much there you can learn and maybe you should put less effort to cherry picking a detail that you is difficult to verify and more time listening to the overall context of what he was speaking to.
We know that Castro emptied out his jails to us in the 80's . Do you not believe that other countries would not do the same?

there was a time when i made 30000 a year and it was more than i had made the year and the spending power of the 30 k was much greater than it would have been in todays world. so in that context i was happy where if i had to go back to that level in todays world it would indeed be a hardship.

Just admitted racial bias with a hint of prejudice based on our skin color..sounds familiar ?
