Twitter users have pointed out the irony of Donald Trump lamenting immigration from “s***hole countries” while wishing that the US had “more people from places like Norway”: Why would Norwegians immigrate to the United States, asks RT?
The US President reportedly expressed his displeasure with the influx of immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and some African countries during a meeting with high-ranking senators at the White House on Thursday, adding that he wished more people from Scandinavia would leave their homeland to pursue the fabled American Dream.
However, Twitter users were highly suspicious of Trump’s line of reasoning.
“Why would people from Norway want to immigrate here? They have actual health care, and longer life expectancy,”Stephen King wrote on Twitter. Plenty of “blue checkmarks” appeared to share the author’s sentiments, pointing out that Norwegians enjoy free healthcare and education, and were even declared the happiest people on earth in 2017.
There you go! See how easy it is to be honest and drop the PC? You have every right to call the US a shithole country. I'm not even offended. Why doesn't President Trump enjoy the same right. By the way, Norway must be a shithole country or our Midwest wouldn't be full of them.

@realDonaldTrump no one from Norway wants to come to this shithole country. They have healthcare for all, family leave, free education and real gun control. https://t.co/yL0gmS55Yw

Of course people from #Norway would love to move to a country where people are far more likely to be shot, live in poverty, get no healthcare because they’re poor, get no paid parental leave or subsidized daycare and see fewer women in political power. #Shithole

Trump: "Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here? Why not people from Norway?"
Norwegians: "Why would we move to a country with a shithole President?"

🔹Shorter work weeks
🔹More vacation time
🔹Incredible education systemWHY WOULD THEY WANT TO COME HERE??? pic.twitter.com/F30NCOsx1p

Folks, are you not even noticing your own hypocrisy? You have no problem calling the United States a "shithole country," yet you deny someone else the right to call an actual "shithole country" a "shithole country."
