...All of the above! 😃

Not like he sees any reason to distinguish between any individuals beyond the four categories he lumps everyone into: "me", "exists for my benefit", and "does not exist for my benefit and therefore has no valid reason to exist."

I mean, she is part of Trump's entourage... for some reason... that he's not willing to share...
Update: she's now threatening to sue Bill Maher for joking that she and Trump are screwing:
Also she's eating dog treats on social media:
What even is this election?

Don Jr says you just need to look at the demographics and IQ in Haiti and if you bring the 3rd world into your country, you become the 3rd world.

Okay, man. I'd like to see Don Jr's IQ.

I don't know if it is just pedantic nowadays to stick to the original definition of 3rd world country. It feels like the definitions may have changed at this point because they never get used as originally intended. 3rd World is supposed to mean uninvolved in the Cold War. But maybe that is over and now it just means poor?. The definition of a 1st World country is the capitalist side of the Cold War. The United States can never be anything other than 1st World. Don't worry about it, Don.

Some official looking stats that Don Jr may have looked at say the average IQ in the USA is 98 and the average in Haiti is 67. I don't know how these stats get developed. There isn't universal testing in the USA and I'm not sure how to get a representative sample. The test is designed to average 100, but a test designed in one culture might not function in another. I see Japan touted as the highest in the world at 106 and it is explained with a culture of education. The test is not MEANT to be gameable by being highly educated. But I am sure it is. It always pays to be familiar with and practice the material.

But take the stats at face value. There are only 11.5 million people in Haiti. The United States is sitting right at 1/3 of a billion people. Take everyone in Haiti and bring them into the United States and don't cheat by giving them the free education that Americans get and our average IQ sinks from 98 to 96.9 and I'm sure the results are super terrifying. It would pull us down between Sweden and France. And maybe that is what scares Don Jr. Sweden and France, probably owing to their reduced IQ, have been pretty flirty with socialism. Yikes!

But I expect the Haitians would mostly settle in Springfield, OH where I have heard they have taken over, so most of the country wouldn't even feel the effects.

Haiti and it's people have been hated by sections of the US population since it gained it's independence back at the turn of the 19th century. Bulk of that hatred then and now is based on nothing but racism. Don Jr's included. They are still upset that a bunch of African slaves were able to rise up and kick France out. Heck, the US didn't even recognize Haiti's independence until the US Civil War.

Unless it's a Bernie Bro shooting up a baseball field of GOP representatives or a liberal going to Justice Kavanaugh's house to try and assassinate him, then its usage goes into hibernation for a while.

I knew this would age well, I just didn't expect it to get proven again after a couple of days.
