Okay, so some of you know that there's been a recent scandal involving $1 billion of stolen money,

taxpayer money in Minnesota, largely from the Somali community.

And Trump said, you know, Ilhan Omar is a garbage person. That's the, those are the words he used and that Somalia is a garbage country.

If you remember, in the past, he's used words like, you know,

this country is a shithole and so on. So before I specifically address this, you know, the Somalia comment in terms of its substance,

I just wanted to read for you something that I wrote earlier today.

It's a long thread, so I'm going to read it for you.

And I want you to think about it as I go

through it. So here we go. In the parasitic mind, I explained that the aversion that people have

toward Donald Trump stems from stylistic matters. I coined this as an aesthetic injury. For

example, when he states that Ilhan Omar is garbage, the

bien-pensant get offended at such language. If he states that Somalia is a garbage nation, people

get offended and point to it being an instantiation of bigotry. Trump uses shortcut linguistic

heuristics that at times exhibit, quote, lack of presidential decorum, close

quote, but the content of what he says might be nonetheless accurate.

Let us take his evaluation of Somalia.

As a professor, I could phrase his, quote, garbage comment as follows, quote, this is if I am presenting the information on Somalia.

Somalia is a country wherein personal liberties do not flourish. Its GDP is astoundingly low. It is ruled by

religious fervor that does not permit individuals to practice their freedom of conscience.

Women do not have the freedom to dress as they see fit.

Governmental institutions do not work optimally.

Corruption is endemic, and I'm going to come back to this, and I'm going to give you an analysis.
