The joke isn’t political, the joke is math.
It references a hot button political issue, and most of the comments are about politics.
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
this is most definitely political homie, this is literally referencing politics.
If it’s over 100%, does that mean he’s pushing out people in the US? 🤔
Yes actually, and he’s making some crossings super legal to compensate further.
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”
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.
Nobody wants to move to a shithole country I guess.
So… how do you reduce something like people crossing a border beyond one hundred percent ?
People trying to get out of the country, I guess
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
They’re crossing on the opposite direction now
I also considered this one, illegally crossing in the opposite direction is still illegally crossing, so, it doesn’t explain the math
And bringing additional people with them!
Deportations
For some reason, people will sometimes flip the fraction when calculating decreasing percentages, so this roughly means that the old number of crossings is beyond one hundred percent greater than the current number of border crossings. It’s really dumb
Ohhhhhh omg now this makes sense. Thank you!
numbers that nobody has ever seen before
Like eleventeen, thirty-twelve, and all those.

It’s from one of Donald’s word vomit speeches
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??
Only because the meaning of “term” may change.
"Good news and bad news. Good news, Trump is not the president anymore… "
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.
Trump himself wrote that?
The Greys. They leave but they mutate and reproduce first.

It sounds like a crazy person because it’s a Trump transcript.
Thank you!
Yes, no one has actually seen these numbers before.
