Trump: Human trafficking 'worse than it's ever been in the history of the world'

President Trump said Thursday that human trafficking has reached record levels around the world, telling reporters on Thursday that illicit sex trafficking is now "worse than it?s ever been in the history of the world.?

In remarks to journalists during his tour of Joint Interagency Task Force South on Florida's Key West, Trump remarked on the need for tougher immigration measures to stop human trafficking as well as the flow of drugs across the U.S.-Mexico border, according to pool reports.

"Drugs are flowing into our country. We need border protection. We need the wall. We have to have the wall. The Democrats don?t want to approve the Wall because they think it?s good politically, but it?s not," he said.

?Human trafficking is worse than it?s ever been in the history of the world," Trump added.

Apparently Trump fans aren't happy about it. It would be interesting if he loses his base (apparently some of them still want a wall?!?) because he isn't doing anything he said he would and he's doing things he said he wouldn't.

I understand why people voted for Trump, but I have no idea why anyone supports him now. Right idea, wrong person.

Indeed! I think John Oliver explained it quite well this past ?Last Week Tonight?. Of course he?s humorous and sarcastic but
sometimes I think he simply nails it. Spot on! ;)

Umm... I feel like I'm talking in a circle with you. Nothing makes him different, I'm saying, again, that I think the system is corrupted and most, if not all, of the politicians are corrupt. I'm trying to refute the idea that Trump is somehow going to be our savior from this. He's corrupted too. I find it difficult to accept that so many people look at him, his demeanor, his history of narcissistic behavior and shitty, elitist behavior, the way he speaks, the way he spoke during his campaign rallies, and some of the stuff he has done or been a part of since getting into office, and think "this guy is gonna save us from government corruption". Come on... he's a corrupted individual who is using the American presidency for fame and personal gain and gain for his cronies. The picture is clearly painted. There hasn't been a smear campaign against Trump for decades, long, long before he decided to run for president or any public office. The picture has been clear all along about what kind of man he is. He's been in the public eye for a long time.

this is more or less what most reasonable people would assume. the kicker is that most people root for politicians like a wide receiver or quarter back. murrica bitch.
you should understand this isnt a war against trump. this a war against his voter base. if you can paint every religious conservative male like donald trump then you have have a serious political stampede on your hands. this is the point. he is manipulating the conservative religious right to back him. he is going to make love to stormy daniels, <SNIP> just like his wife, just like obamas wife, and i dont expect you to connect those dots because you think these people are genuinely out to help you. he is going to do every thing despicable to every person that is reasonable in the whole world. he is a con man. he doesnt just work for himself, he works for the globalists to serve an end game and that is to destroy everything conservative and everything christian, he even has a whole lot of fake christians backing him. its a scam through and through.

He will talk shit About all things liberal and leftist so you have an enemy, who would,you have if it weren't for Donald.

<SNIP>

Trump received more minority votes than Romney.
Over 200 counties that voted for Obama voted for Trump.
Trump didn't campaign on any racist policies, his stances on illegal immigration and terrorism were misrepresented.

Maybe the foundation for Trump's win wasn't racism?
*gasp* "but then how will we explain it??"

no. because you've dismissed it already so why bother?

there are a hundred reasons i dislike trump and his low-level racism is pretty far down my list.

for somebody who's so defensive of the 2nd amendment, what are your thoughts on president trump's suggestion that the government take arms from citizens with out due process? i don't hear much grumbling form the trump fans on this issue.

"shall not be infringed!"

No because I'm gonna make a point when arguing with liberals they literally have nothing on Trump. Like the whole "Mexicans are rapist criminals" thing the news conviently just snips out where trump said they are not bringing their best ppl. I came to my own conclusions about Trump being a tyrant and another deep state politican espically When he said "Take the guns first, due process second" I knew he was a tyrant and the endless wars as well.

I don't like trump but I actually have reasons I feel like u guys only go off talking points from the news "o he's racist, bigot, blah blah blah"

I'm asking in what ways was Trump racist to someone
 
But assuming someone can be racist without clause is pretty racist in itself.

Trump was awarded by the black community for his works. He never had an incident where the media was trying to make him out to be a racist before his presidency. Illegals getting deported and coming back to kill ppl kinda only helps the cause for closed borders too like.

I want an instance where he declares himself to be better than Mexicans or Blacks. Or even talks down to them. To fit the "new" or even "old" definition for racist. No one has provided evidence of that
 
Speculation wouldn't hold up in a court of law and shouldn't hold when it comes to Trump being ur president.

You know what they say about assumptions right?

trump stated that judge curiel was incapable of being impartial because he's 'mexican' (which he's not). that is textbook racism.

ironically, the same judge ruled in february that the border wall could proceed (ruling that the administration has the authority to waive a host of environmental laws and other regulations to begin construction).

trump was curiously silent on curiel's favourable ruling - i wonder why?

you keep saying liberals have nothing on trump. i dislike him intensely for a hundred examples of childishness, insults and abuse, blatent, cynical hypocrisy and pants-on-fire lying that make me thoroughly embarrassed he's my president.

judge curiel is a u.s. citizen who was born in indiana.

trump made his comments in an on the record interview with the wsj in june 2016.

even paul ryan described trump's comment as "the textbook definition of a racist comment". it's not often i agree wtih paul ryan...
