IN AN INTERVIEW clip so outlandish that we quickly had to fact-check that it was, indeed, our sitting president, Donald Trump tried to convince us that farm work comes “naturally” to undocumented immigrants.
This assertion, made Tuesday morning on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” was in defense of his mass immigration enforcement.
“We’re taking care of our farmers. We can’t let our farmers not have anybody. … These people, you can’t replace them very easily,” Trump said.
And in true Trump fashion, the racist rhetoric continued, layer by layer, like a cringe lasagna no one ordered.
“People that live in the inner city are not doing that work. They’re just not doing that work. And they’ve tried, we’ve tried. Everybody tried. They don’t do it. These people do it naturally — naturally,” he went on, referring to migrant workers.
