This is a transcript of a meeting. Those are words that trump did say, but this screenshot is cropped deliberately to hide that fact.

This is one of the typical lies that trump is known to make in speeches. This isn't a whitehouse staff member publishing those words as a written statement the office stands behind.

He means by 100%... or he's even more stupid than we ever imagined and we imagined him being pretty stupid

The Greys. They leave but they mutate and reproduce first.

OP please post a link, I can't believe they are this bad at math, unless they mean people are now "illegally" crossing out of the US

Edit: this is real, oh myyy! https://www.whitehouse.gov/remarks/2025/02/remarks-by-president-trump-before-cabinet-meeting/

It’s Elon’s DOGE math.

[-] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 hours ago

I guess they might say if you include the deportations it'd be over 100%

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Including "self deportations". It is mathematically possible. Unlikely. But possibly.

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 9 points 7 hours ago

I'm guessing they mean an over 100% increase of the decrease of the period-over-period amount.

It's not necessarily wrong, but it is, in fact, a really, really stupid way of communicating information, which is very on brand of them and their supporters.

[-] gabereal@sopuli.xyz 7 points 6 hours ago

Listen, if you have to jump through hoops to stretch the meaning of a phrase, just to raise the idea that the phrase might not be completely asinine, it might be a better use of your time to just let it be. You shouldn't have to do mental gymnastics and word judo just to squeeze a non-obvious semi-literate meaning out of something the leader of the free world said. Don't do their work for them (unless you are being paid to do their work for them, of course... but get paid up front, because they aren't very good about honoring contracts).

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

I'm merely trying to explain what I interpret as their logic, not justify it or say that it's acceptable - it's not. You and I are in agreement here. The US has clowns leading the country. Absolute fucking clowns.

[-] match@pawb.social 4 points 5 hours ago

if you can do the linear algebra equations necessary to make all these nonsense statements have a glimmer of truth you should emigrate to the EU while you still can

If this is real, then that's some North Korea shit right there.

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 3 points 7 hours ago

It's real, but it's quoting Trump.

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

I wonder why so many people think there is something fundamentally different about North Korea and the people there. Sure the media control is a bit tighter, but the same thing is happening there as here, always has been in fact. Media is controlled by the state who are controlled by the elite/wealthy. Because of this, meda lies, they just tune their lies to whoever is watching.

You don't NEED to wall off your nation to make people spout lies for you, to make newscasters and printed headlines tell the population that their leader doesn't poop and that he's 700 years old and shoots money beams from his navel. The people who want to hear it will repeat it with glee and don't want to fact check it, and the ones who don't believe it know enough to be quiet and keep their head down so they can get through the day. The same things are happening here and have been happening here.

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 hours ago

i think the whole hermit kingdom we will kill you and your entire family, plus sentence you to forty years for forced labor is going to be a more impactful difference between north korea, and literally anywhere else in the world.

[-] gabereal@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 hours ago

There are a couple fundamental differences between the US and North Korea - in NK, you can't travel without governmental approval and also you get shot if you try to leave.

In the US, you can walk to a different state if you so desire (or drive or fly, but those require gov't ID) and the only thing you need to have if you want to leave the country is paperwork that the other country accepts.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were more fundamental differences between the two countries, but those are two big ones that I thought of off the top of my head.

[-] bravesilvernest@lemmy.ml 26 points 11 hours ago

If it's over 100%, does that mean he's pushing out people in the US? 🤔

[-] Lesrid@lemm.ee 6 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Yes actually, and he's making some crossings super legal to compensate further.

[-] towerful@programming.dev 2 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

AND we are actually sending our best!

Edit:
"we"/"our" from US perspective. I'm not from the US. Just felt like a lovely wordplay on the "they aren't sending their best"

Step 1: Turns country towards fascism

Step 2: ???

Step 3: ~~Profit?~~ Genocide?

[-] DTguess@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 hours ago

Lol

[-] teamevil@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago

And what official body is in charge of keeping the official record and count of illegal immigrants crossing the border? Seems to me it's most likely DHS and ice reporting and isn't it in their own best interest to inflate the numbers or deflate them to appease the Nazis?

[-] ooli2@lemm.ee 8 points 9 hours ago

this is not political at all. beside the fact that the white house is making the joke! next time the white house is funny, I'll post on political humor, sorry

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 hours ago

this is most definitely political homie, this is literally referencing politics.

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 138 points 16 hours ago

Like eleventeen, thirty-twelve, and all those.

What percent of immigration is illegal? I'm beginning to suspect Republicans are actually pro immigration (gotta have those slaves) but need to be loudly against it, hence the crackdown on illegal immigrants

[-] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 13 points 11 hours ago

Lol illegal crossings caught / reported. The majority of illegals come over legally and just overstay their vacation, education, work, business, or deplomat visa. Why bother crossing illegally when you can just request a vacation visa or day visa and just disappear into the country. (Yes those without passports will have to sneak across but it's way easier than the Trump administration will have you believe.) Yes thousands get caught but millions go back and forth without. Yes most go back without needing the US government to force them.

It’s from one of Donald’s word vomit speeches

[-] notabot@lemm.ee 44 points 15 hours ago

Good grief, I thought this post was just a joke, but he actually said it. It's ok though, his term's nearly over, right? Right??

[-] SGforce@lemmy.ca 25 points 15 hours ago

Only because the meaning of "term" may change.

"Good news and bad news. Good news, Trump is not the president anymore.. "

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

It's gonna be an awful four years, but I genuinely think if he tries to stay in office past 2029, there will be violence. The media would have you believe that his supporters are more galvanized than ever, but here in three and a half years after every country other than Russia has cut all trade ties with us, conservatives are going to realize just how bad Republican politicians are.

Trump got elected because Biden failed to improve conditions for the vast majority of voters. The next Democrat will win because Trump is making shit so much worse.

Of course you'll interact with some extremely prideful Trump supporters who think a tanking stock market and exponentially more expensive eggs are good, but the vast majority of his supporters aren't out there with MAGA flags and hats and stuffed bears.

[-] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 34 points 14 hours ago

So people are fleeing the US? That's not the brag you think it is...

[-] Mothra@mander.xyz 74 points 17 hours ago

So... how do you reduce something like people crossing a border beyond one hundred percent ?

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 110 points 17 hours ago

People trying to get out of the country, I guess

[-] Mothra@mander.xyz 2 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

I thought of this one but a deportation or just leaving aren't illegal crossings.... So it wouldn't work!

And trying to get out of the country crossing illegally is still an illegal crossing, so, it doesn't make sense

[-] Goun@lemmy.ml 53 points 17 hours ago

They're crossing on the opposite direction now

[-] Mothra@mander.xyz 1 points 6 hours ago

I also considered this one, illegally crossing in the opposite direction is still illegally crossing, so, it doesn't explain the math
