‘They’ve destroyed the place’: Trump repeats racist, anti-immigrant lies

[Yssup Rider]

There were more bomb threats reported in Springfield, Ohio today.

Trump obviously thinks he's going to make this a campaign battle cry. Fearmongering reminiscent of, well, you know who and when.

They’ve destroyed the place’: Trump repeats racist, anti-immigrant lies
Trump spews hate again toward Ohio’s Haitian migrants, where residents are fearful over bomb threats and hate

Fri 13 Sep 2024 15.36 EDT

Donald Trump repeated racist claims about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, on Friday, doubling down on anti-immigrant rhetoric as residents in the town have faced bomb threats and have detailed their fears amid harassment.

“In Springfield, Ohio, 20,000 illegal migrant Haitians have descended upon a town of 58,000 people, destroying their way of life. They’ve destroyed the place,” Trump said during a rambling press conference at his golf course in Los Angeles. “People don’t like to talk about it. Even the town doesn’t like to talk about it, because it sounds so bad for the town. They live there … for years it was a great place. Safe. Nice. Now they have 20,000 and I actually heard today it’s 32,000.”

He later added: “We will do large deportations from Springfield, Ohio, large deportations. We’re gonna get these people out. We’re bringing them back to Venezuela,” stating the incorrect country where most of the immigrants are from.

Haiti is one of 16 countries the US government has granted temporary protective status (TPS) to because of ongoing conflict, making it easier for immigrants to get authorization to work in the United States. As president, Trump tried to end TPS for Haiti and referred to the country as a “shithole”.

Trump’s comments come after Tuesday’s presidential debate in which he first repeated the false claim that migrants in Springfield are stealing and eating people’s dogs and cats. The claim has been repeatedly debunked.

Springfield has received several bomb threats this week, prompting it to close its government buildings and evacuate its schools. Haitian residents in the town have reported receiving severe threats and harassment, according to the Haitian Times.

JD Vance, who represents the residents of Springfield as Ohio’s US senator, continued to attack the town on Friday, leaning into racist tropes that immigrants were responsible for bringing disease and crime to the community.

Just before Trump spoke in California, Joe Biden condemned his attacks on Haitians in Springfield.

“A community that’s under attack in our country right now. It’s simply wrong. There’s no place in America. This has to stop – what he’s doing. It has to stop,” Biden said at the White House.

The eating cat part might have only happened once, but the Haitian Immigration issue is a real problem for Springfield Ohio.

Trump is NOT telling the truth. There’s no mention of eating pets in your story. It’s bullshit.

Obviously a mental case, not cause she’s purposely cruel or hungry. Something is seriously wrong with her mental state.

Not a Haitian immigrant.

Haitian immigrants are not eating cats and dogs because you can get a double cheeseburger and french fries for less than 4 dollars at McDonalds.

in Ohio. did i say Springfield? an immigrant. does it matter where they are from? Nope.


and it's only a matter of time before evidence emerges .. in Springfield .. that this is happening there too. it's a FACT it happened in Canton.


and just to make a point ... is this the kind of "immigrants" we really want in America?

[Salty Again]

... You liberal lads might wanna go to Sprindfield and ASK
the residents about it... Then you'll know.

Perhaps someone can explain HOW what Trump said there is "racist" and
"lies"... The FACTS that Trump mentioned come from actual RESIDENTS
who live there... THEY are the ones making the complaints.

And how is it "racist" to say that it's Haitians who are doing it.
The Haitians are NOT Americans, Not British, Not Canadian or
Australian - they are Haitians - so how can saying-so be "racist"??

Semantics will only get you so far in this discussion. The story characterizes Trump’s speech as racist. Perhaps the word xenophobic would be better. Or maybe even white nationalist. By odd coincidence these protected Interntional migrants are all black.

I don’t disagree with the story’s characterization.

The lies? Really? LOLLING!

Well, at least your favorite psycho's buddy Hannibal (who he's to delusional to know is fictional) was a white male citizen and preferred eating humans.


He got his ass handed to him in the debate and he's just flailing for air time now.


And besides, I'm not Haitian, and I proudly eat the cat.

I find it really sad that people in this forum are so willing to take sides that they defend the obvious conspiracy and lies spread via Trump and other non credible sources. The Haitian migrants are here legally. The vast majority of them, like most people, are law abiding. No evidence of dog or cat hunting or eating has been found except for some non credible reports of geese hunting and a crazy white woman in another city who killed a cat.

But spreading misinformation and lies is apparently OK because Trump says it first? This is not OK. The people living in Springfield are not OK with the visits from neo-nazis and bomb threats that are disrupting their lives. They are not OK with Trump and other republican jackasses targeting their town just to press a political message.

Yes it is wrong. It’s wrong because the person in the video is not a Haitian, not an immigrant and not in Springfield. But you already know that right? It’s not proof of any of Trump’s claims.

Ignore the eating cats, THERE IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH IMMIGRATION IN SPRINGFIELD OHIO


A town of 60,000 has a forced increase of 20,000 people in a short time, that causes huge issues as the infrastructure can't handle that.
