numbers that nobody has ever seen before
Like eleventeen, thirty-twelve, and all those.
so now americans are crossing illegally to mexico, right? I can kinda believe it, too.
So… how do you reduce something like people crossing a border beyond one hundred percent ?
People trying to get out of the country, I guess
I thought of this one but a deportation or just leaving aren’t illegal crossings… So it wouldn’t work!
And trying to get out of the country crossing illegally is still an illegal crossing, so, it doesn’t make sense
They’re crossing on the opposite direction now
And bringing additional people with them!
I also considered this one, illegally crossing in the opposite direction is still illegally crossing, so, it doesn’t explain the math
Deportations
Hint: math
For some reason, people will sometimes flip the fraction when calculating decreasing percentages, so this roughly means that the old number of crossings is beyond one hundred percent greater than the current number of border crossings. It’s really dumb
Ohhhhhh omg now this makes sense. Thank you!
Step 1: Turns country towards fascism
Step 2: ???
Step 3:
Profit?Genocide?What’s the link? I’d like to check this page.Fake…WTF… Not fake…
https://www.whitehouse.gov/remarks/2025/02/remarks-by-president-trump-before-cabinet-meeting/
It sounds like a crazy person because it’s a Trump transcript.
Thank you!
It wouldnt be funny as a fake
…I don’t think it’s funny either way, to be honest… Just weird.
To each their own, of course.
Nobody wants to move to a shithole country I guess.
Lowest numbers in a decade.
Which is not the flex they intend it to be.
This is a transcript of a meeting. Those are words that trump did say, but this screenshot is cropped deliberately to hide that fact.
This is one of the typical lies that trump is known to make in speeches. This isn’t a whitehouse staff member publishing those words as a written statement the office stands behind.
This can’t be real, right
Look at the front page, and also great articles such as “Biden Spent Millions on Transgender Animal Experiments” and “President Trump is Leading with Peace Through Strength.”
“Biden Spent Millions on Transgender Animal Experiments”
Wait, are they confusing “transgender” and “transgenic”?
Yes. Because they are just that dumb.
“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies.”
Yes, they also cut funding to a special education transition program because they think it means libs are transitioning school kids.
Yes he is, and his supporters might actually believe. transgenic animals have been used in research for decades , and he is just finding out now?
peace through strength Hmmmmm. Where have I heard that before?
NOD’s motto,
A book that I haven’t read in a long time, and now would be the proper time to do it again.
It is, unfortunately, real. https://www.whitehouse.gov/remarks/2025/02/remarks-by-president-trump-before-cabinet-meeting/
~~Looks like it isn’t real.

I’ve been corrected. Is is real. It makes sense that they were just documenting his word salad.

The quote in the picture is definitely from the whitehouse website, its linked below in the comments. Its just not from that article that no one referenced.
Aliens ? Oo someone to do me an ELI5 pls 😅😐
It’s the official government word for foreigners.
Thanks!
American refugees trying to enter Mexico and Canada.
What in the actual fuck.

It’s from one of Donald’s word vomit speeches
Good grief, I thought this post was just a joke, but he actually said it. It’s ok though, his term’s nearly over, right? Right??
Only because the meaning of “term” may change.
"Good news and bad news. Good news, Trump is not the president anymore… "
It’s gonna be an awful four years, but I genuinely think if he tries to stay in office past 2029, there will be violence. The media would have you believe that his supporters are more galvanized than ever, but here in three and a half years after every country other than Russia has cut all trade ties with us, conservatives are going to realize just how bad Republican politicians are.
Trump got elected because Biden failed to improve conditions for the vast majority of voters. The next Democrat will win because Trump is making shit so much worse.
Of course you’ll interact with some extremely prideful Trump supporters who think a tanking stock market and exponentially more expensive eggs are good, but the vast majority of his supporters aren’t out there with MAGA flags and hats and stuffed bears.
OP please post a link, I can’t believe they are this bad at math, unless they mean people are now “illegally” crossing out of the US
Edit: this is real, oh myyy! https://www.whitehouse.gov/remarks/2025/02/remarks-by-president-trump-before-cabinet-meeting/
It’s insane that he can just pull random numbers out of his ass and his supporters will keep taking them as fact.
USA has not contributed 3 times as much as EU in support of Ukraine. In fact it has contributed less.
I’m guessing they mean an over 100% increase of the decrease of the period-over-period amount.
It’s not necessarily wrong, but it is, in fact, a really, really stupid way of communicating information, which is very on brand of them and their supporters.
Listen, if you have to jump through hoops to stretch the meaning of a phrase, just to raise the idea that the phrase might not be completely asinine, it might be a better use of your time to just let it be. You shouldn’t have to do mental gymnastics and word judo just to squeeze a non-obvious semi-literate meaning out of something the leader of the free world said. Don’t do their work for them (unless you are being paid to do their work for them, of course… but get paid up front, because they aren’t very good about honoring contracts).
I’m merely trying to explain what I interpret as their logic, not justify it or say that it’s acceptable - it’s not. You and I are in agreement here. The US has clowns leading the country. Absolute fucking clowns.
if you can do the linear algebra equations necessary to make all these nonsense statements have a glimmer of truth you should emigrate to the EU while you still can
It’s Elon’s DOGE math.
I guess they might say if you include the deportations it’d be over 100%
Including “self deportations”. It is mathematically possible. Unlikely. But possibly.
10/10 edit
If this is real, then that’s some North Korea shit right there.
It’s real, but it’s quoting Trump.
I wonder why so many people think there is something fundamentally different about North Korea and the people there. Sure the media control is a bit tighter, but the same thing is happening there as here, always has been in fact. Media is controlled by the state who are controlled by the elite/wealthy. Because of this, meda lies, they just tune their lies to whoever is watching.
You don’t NEED to wall off your nation to make people spout lies for you, to make newscasters and printed headlines tell the population that their leader doesn’t poop and that he’s 700 years old and shoots money beams from his navel. The people who want to hear it will repeat it with glee and don’t want to fact check it, and the ones who don’t believe it know enough to be quiet and keep their head down so they can get through the day. The same things are happening here and have been happening here.
i think the whole hermit kingdom we will kill you and your entire family, plus sentence you to forty years for forced labor is going to be a more impactful difference between north korea, and literally anywhere else in the world.
There are a couple fundamental differences between the US and North Korea - in NK, you can’t travel without governmental approval and also you get shot if you try to leave.
In the US, you can walk to a different state if you so desire (or drive or fly, but those require gov’t ID) and the only thing you need to have if you want to leave the country is paperwork that the other country accepts.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there were more fundamental differences between the two countries, but those are two big ones that I thought of off the top of my head.
