Donald Trump didn’t wish America a Happy Thanksgiving. He hurled a brick of racist fertilizer at the country, lit it on fire, and rang the doorbell like a bored teenager who never emotionally matured past 7th grade.
What he posted wasn’t a greeting. It was a fascist manifesto written by a man who thinks “policy analysis” means yelling nouns until they start to rhyme.
So let’s take this post apart sentence by sentence and salt the earth beneath each one.
“A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at…”
Nothing says “holiday warmth” like opening with an obituary for the nation. He can’t even make it through the greeting without dragging his base into a panic spiral that would make a therapist pass out. This is classic Trump: start with “Happy Thanksgiving” and immediately pivot to “THE COUNTRY IS A CORPSE, AND YOU DID THIS.”
“…along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being ‘Politically Correct,’ and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration.”
He hammers out “STUPID” like a man convinced the Caps Lock key is a political philosophy. This sentence is just racism baked in a toaster oven set to “foam at the mouth.”
He blames political correctness because he needs an enemy easier to fight than reality.
“The official United States Foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.”
Not a single clause here is real. Not the number. Not the implication. Not the vibe. It reads like he skimmed a white supremacist message board while eating a cold Egg McMuffin in the dark.
The idea that “most” immigrants come from prisons or mental institutions is the rhetorical equivalent of huffing glue and calling it scholarship.
“They and their children are supported through massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens who… do not want to openly complain or cause trouble…”
This is resentment porn. He’s constructing an imaginary welfare hydra funded by terrified “real Americans” too polite to stop it.
He’s basically telling his supporters: “You’re victims. Victims who pay taxes. Victims who suffer. Please clap.”
“A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family.”
Economically impossible, mathematically illiterate, and morally bankrupt. It’s like watching someone try to explain gravity after falling headfirst down a flight of stairs.
“The real migrant population is much higher.”
Of course it is. His lies expand when exposed to oxygen.
“You caught me? Fantastic. Let me just double down and invent a bigger monster.”
“This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America… something that did not exist after World War II…”
America in the 1940s: segregation, lynchings, poverty, domestic violence, homophobia, economic inequality, rampant pollution.
Trump: “But other than that, flawless! Zero problems! Utopia!”
This is weaponized nostalgia. A fantasy past only a delusional strongman could love.
“As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota.”
He says “Minnesota” like it’s being annexed by an invading army, not functioning exactly like it always has: passive-aggressive, freezing, polite, and full of people who eat salad with marshmallows in it.
“Taking over” is a straight-up white nationalist phrase. He knows that. He uses it intentionally.
“Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for ‘prey’…”
This sentence could have been ripped from a 1920s KKK leaflet.
He wants you to picture horror-movie villains when he talks about immigrants.
It’s dehumanization 101.
“…as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone.”
Minnesotans barely leave the house in winter anyway. Calling that “evidence of terror” is like calling hibernation a political protest.
“The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz…”
He drops an ableist slur because cruelty is the only seasoning he knows how to cook with. He insults Walz not because it makes sense, but because he thinks being hateful counts as strength.
“…does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both…”
The only thing Trump hates more than immigrants is a competent adult.
Walz frightens him simply by not being a clown.
“…while the worst ‘Congressman/woman’ in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab…”
He absolutely fetishizes her hijab.
It’s weird.
It’s obsessive.
It’s creepier than a foot fetish but somehow less self-aware.
“…and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally…”
“Probably” is doing the entire Olympic deadlift here.
It’s his favorite gossip weapon: “I made something up, therefore it’s possible, therefore it’s true.”
“…in that you are not allowed to marry your brother…”
This conspiracy theory is his favorite bedtime story.
He repeats it because it combines racism, misogyny, Islamophobia, and sexual panic in one cheap shot.
The man cannot resist a smear that makes him feel like a middle-school bully again.
“…does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country…”
She criticizes him. He thinks he is the country.
Basic psychology.
“…whose place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation…”
His foreign-policy understanding could be printed on a yogurt lid.
“…which is essentially not even a country for lack of Government, Military, Police, schools, etc.”
He’s describing Somalia like he skimmed the Wikipedia intro paragraph and then closed his laptop to go rage-tweet.
“…Even as we have progressed technologically, Immigration Policy has eroded those gains…”
Translation: “I don’t understand technology, so immigrants must be responsible.”
“I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries…”
This is not a pause. It is a ban soaked in xenophobia and baked at 400 degrees.
It’s the Muslim Ban 2.0, now with extra fascism.
“…terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen…”
An autopen is a machine that signs documents. He thinks it’s a Deep State immigration wizard. The man is terrified of office supplies.
“…remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States…”
Congratulations. We’ve arrived at the eugenics portion of the evening.
Humans as financial units.
Citizenship as a subscription.
Cancel people like gym memberships.
“…denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility…”
In English: strip citizenship retroactively from anyone who displeases him.
This is outright authoritarianism.
No metaphors needed.
“…and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.”
“Non-compatible with Western Civilization” is a white nationalist slogan.
He might as well have ended the sentence with a hand signal.
“Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation.”
Reverse migration = mass deportation on a historic scale.
The largest forced relocation in U.S. history.
Ethnic cleansing with a MAGA-fitted hat.
“Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won’t be here for long!”
A holiday greeting welded to a threat of mass expulsion. This is not a president speaking. This is a man daydreaming about purges between bites of stuffing.
This wasn’t a Thanksgiving message.
This was a fascist manifesto.
A warning.
A blueprint.
And the most openly authoritarian screed a sitting U.S. president has ever posted.
Pretending it’s normal is how countries die.
