In a Thanksgiving message that veered sharply from turkey and gratitude into a blistering critique of U.S. immigration policy, former President Donald Trump unleashed a torrent of accusations against migrants, politicians, and what he called America's "politically correct" complacency. Delivered via his signature bombastic style, the statement—shared on his Truth Social platform—painted a dystopian picture of a nation "divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at" due to unchecked immigration. Trump demanded sweeping reforms, including a permanent pause on migration from "Third World Countries" and the mass deportation of those he deems incompatible with American values.

A Holiday Salvo Against "Stupid" Policies

Trump's post began with a sarcastic holiday greeting before pivoting to outrage. He praised "Great American Citizens and Patriots" for their "beautiful hearts" in silently enduring what he described as an existential threat from immigration. Key claims included:

• The "official" foreign-born population stands at 53 million (per Census), most allegedly from "failed nations," prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.
• A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card supposedly receives ~$50,000 in annual family benefits.
• Immigration is the "leading cause" of failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and deficits — problems he says did not exist after World War II.
• Only "REVERSE MIGRATION" can cure the situation.

Targeting Minnesota: Walz, Omar, and Somali "Gangs"

Trump singled out Minnesota as ground zero, claiming "hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia" have "completely taken over the once great State," with "Somalian gangs roving the streets looking for prey" while residents hide in fear. He personally attacked:

• Governor Tim Walz as "seriously retarded" and ineffective "through fear, incompetence, or both."
• Rep. Ilhan Omar as the "worst Congressman/woman," accusing her of illegal entry via brother-marriage (a long-debunked conspiracy) and of hating America while coming from a "decadent, backward, crime-ridden" nation with no functioning government.

A Roadmap for Radical Reform

The message doubled as a second-term policy manifesto. Trump vowed to:

• Permanently pause migration from all Third World countries.
• Terminate millions of Biden-era admissions, including those signed by "Sleepy Joe’s Autopen."
• Deport anyone who is a public charge, security risk, or "non-compatible with Western Civilization."
• End all federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens.
• Denaturalize migrants who "undermine domestic tranquility."
• Achieve a "major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations" through mass deportation.

He closed with: "HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won’t be here for long!"

Broader Context and Immediate Reactions

The rant landed amid ongoing debates over record border encounters and strained public services in many cities. Responses were sharply divided:

• Gov. Walz called it "divisive fearmongering that dishonors the holiday."
• Rep. Omar labeled it "racist poison."
• MAGA influencers and Republican voters largely cheered it as a necessary "wake-up call."

What Lies Ahead?

As Americans gathered for Thanksgiving dinner, Trump’s message served as a stark reminder that, for him, gratitude always comes with a heavy side of grievance — and a promise of large-scale deportation to come any future return to power.
