Trump makes another insane allegation against Midwest migrants

Start digging the moats, Kansas City.

Pull up the drawbridge, Omaha.

Release the hounds, Cleveland.

Ready the archers, Cincinnati.

Donald Trump says migrants are coming to burn down your hamlets.

"You see how bad it's getting when you look at what's going on with migrants attacking villages and cities throughout the Midwest," Trump said at a rally on Saturday in North Carolina.

Of course, there are no reports of migrant attacks anywhere in the Midwest, and Twitter/X posts quickly sprouted, mocking the former president and Republican presidential nominee with one-liners and cartoonish memes :

"The Villagers are missing their Idiot."

"The villages? What are they, friggin' Genghis Khan?"

"Do they bring torches and pitchforks?"

"I heard they're riding in on elephants and dragons."

"I thought The Villages were in Florida."

"Anyone have videos of migrants attacking villages? Is this before or after they attempt to register to vote?"

"This is America, dude, we don't have villages here."

It's just another in Trump's long history of demonizing immigrants .

Most recently, Trump and his vice presidential running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, have used unfounded pet-eating allegations to demonize Springfield, Ohio's 15,000 Haitian immigrants , whose arrival to fill manufacturing, distribution and warehouse jobs has rescued the local economy.

Those comments — which Trump repeated at a presidential debate against Democratic nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris — have led to more than two dozen bomb threats and have prompted the state to send in additional state troopers and install surveillance cameras around the city in order to reopen schools and government buildings.

Trump has said he wants to visit Springfield within the next few weeks, but the city's mayor, Rob Rue, said it would be "very, very difficult" on the city if either presidential candidate visited due to limited resources.

"So it would be fine with me if they decided not to make that stop right now," Rue said.

Besides, the mayor will busy watching for marauding migrants with torches.

Why did Donald Trump called MSNBC's (and Jersey girl) Stephanie Ruhle 'a dumb as a rock bimbo'?
