Translation: Trump just found out that the following countries exist, and aren’t populated by white people: Afghanistan; Myanmar, Chad; Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela.

Honestly, if you’re in any of those countries - you don’t want to be going to America right now anyways!

… you’d be risking ending up in a foreign prison. Better to just stay away.

He did this his first term too.

He didn’t just find out, but he probably just remembered.

I remember last time Chad was also on the list and their government was like “yo dude wtf did we do!?”

Also, I feel like he wouldn’t be able to recall more than three countries on that list if prompted

Myanmar hasn’t been known as “Burma” since 1989…

Some countries still call it like that officially : France, Belgium, Canada, Switzerland.

The last Rambo movie also referred to it as that.

I have signed a proclamation that Trump is not my king.

It’s an EO, right? Repeatedly calling it a “proclamation” seems like king-speak from CNN. Fuck CNN.

You don’t think it’s on purpose as a form of protest?

Not from CNN, no. I believe their exec came over from Fox or something. They’ve been trying to use their reputation as a “moderate” news source to pull people rightward. Using terminology like this is one such tactic.

What did Togo ever do to you?

Togo sure does a lot to itself, but not to you.
