Entitled to say they are Wack Jobs
Trump is, predictably, digging in. Game on! Let’s see how racist we can be before anyone will stop us! Yeeha!
He’s quoting a Republican senator.
…opinion, they’re Americans. Now I’m entitled to my opinion, & I just think they’re left wing cranks. They’re the reason there are directions on a shampoo bottle, & we should ignore them. The “squad” has moved the Democrat Party substantially LEFT, and…..

….they are destroying the Democrat Party. I’m appalled that so many of our Presidential candidates are falling all over themselves to try to agree with the four horsewomen of the apocalypse. I’m entitled to say that they’re Wack Jobs.” Louisiana Senator John Kennedy

Trump is planning to do more of this kind of thing at a rally later today.
Big Rally tonight in Greenville, North Carolina. Lots of great things to tell you about, including the fact that our Economy is the best it has ever been. Best Employment & Stock Market Numbers EVER. I’ll talk also about people who love, and hate, our Country (mostly love)! 7:PM

Son Eric is helping.
ERIC TRUMP claims on Fox & Friends that "95 percent of this country" is behind his father's message. (His approval rating is actually about half that.) pic.twitter.com/wm27V1MMLj

I don’t think the Democrats are all supporting the message of the four; they are supporting the women against a racist attack. The Dems are a mixed lot where the issues are concerned, including the vote on the Border funding. Trump, of course, sees any support of them as a support for anything and everything they say or do. He can’t understand that you can disagree with people on some things and agree with them on others, though we have seen him do it himself. I suspect any time he is on one side with someone, he forgets he ever thought anything different.
If the country was 95% behind the President, I think I’d be filing for asylum in Norway (though I understand Norwegian is a hard language to learn. I’m willing to try for the fjords).
Considering Eric Trump’s math skills, being off by only a factor two is pretty good.
His approval rating is in the high 90s amongst Republicans, so if you’re only counting Real Americans TM then he’s not wrong.
If you only count Real Americans™️ then it’s 100%, by definition.
I think Eric is making allowance for the 5% of Americans who disapprove of Trump because they don’t feel he’s racist enough. That’s who he considers the honorable opposition.
iknklast,
From what I understand, Danish is far more difficult.
And of course one pines for the fjords.
Norwegian and Swedish are actually pretty easy, and already close to English. Grammar-wise Dutch (especially the Frisian dialect) is likely the closest, but the pronunciation is a bit of a killer.
Just, y’know, if you’re shopping around for places.
Scots is closer.
I suppose I could go the easy route and opt for England, since I already know a language they are able to understand (American not being exactly English, but it’s own rendition of almost-English). But they are about to put Boris Johnson in power, and they’re destroying themselves with Brexit. So, yeah, I think I’ll get some Norwegian language tapes…
