More transcript lols, now from the Australia call
Quote:
Trump: We have our San Bernardino’s, we have had the World Trade Center come down because of people that should not have been in our country
San Bernardino: Attackers were a US-born citizen ("should not have been in our country"?) and a permanent resident from Pakistan
WTC: not even immigrants, people here on visa from countries not in travel ban list
These aren't the same class of people at all with respect to political policy, except for the one thing they have in common: Muslim
Quote:
Trump: Malcom [sic], why is this so important? I do not understand. This is going to kill me. I am the world’s greatest person that does not want to let people into the country. And now I am agreeing to take 2,000 people and I agree I can vet them, but that puts me in a bad position. It makes me look so bad and I have only been here a week.
Turnbull: With great respect, that is not right – It is not 2,000.
Trump: Well, it is close. I have also heard like 5,000 as well.
lmao what a classic Trumpism - people are saying, it might actually be higher!!!
Also this is pretty amazing. Earlier in the call, Turnbull tells Trump the kind of people that the agreement says he's taking, and why they're not being let into Australia:
Quote:
Turnbull: They are basically economic refugees from Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. That is the vast bulk of them. They have been under our supervision for over three years now and we know exactly everything about them.
Trump: Why haven’t you let them out? Why have you not let them into your society?
Turnbull: Okay, I will explain why. It is not because they are bad people. It is because in order to stop people smugglers, we had to deprive them of the product. So we said if you try to come to Australia by boat, even if we think you are the best person in the world, even if you are a Noble [sic] Prize winning genius, we will not let you in.
Later in the call, Trump has learned nothing:
Quote:
Trump: I hate taking these people. I guarantee you they are bad. That is why they are in prison right now. They are not going to be wonderful people who go on to work for the local milk people.
- not bad
- not in prison right now
- not why they're being detained either
- the local milk people lol
