Demento Don doesn’t remember that his term was shithole country.
The shithead just said “why don’t we ever get people wanting to move here from Norway or Sweden” then says this?
Dumb addled brain pedo…
This is actually hilarious. “Have they made another one?”. 😆 omg I hate this man but i had to laugh out loud. Is like watching a comedy sketch in real life. He becomes more and more unhinged and a real parody of himself everyday
Have they made another one?
What did he say?
Die faster, pedo.
Let’s go thrombo!
At least we provide our citizens with basic things like health insurance as a right.
-All Norway has to say.
As a Norwegian, I would never call it health “insurance”. It’s just part of the social security that we pay taxes for.
Well, the state is acting as a single payer for all health care its populace needs. The money is not going from you directly to the service provider. An example of that would be you paying someone to rotate your tires. Rather, the state is providing payment to the doctor for services provided to treat your health care needs. Thus, the state is acting as an insurer whose premium is the taxes you pay. You just get a whole lot of extras for the premium you pay (like road work, disaster relief, penalizing criminality, etc.). That is a textbook example of insurance.
*Edit: for those of you who doubt what I say, I ask you to look at history to as an illustration. When the US was last trying to adopt universal care under Obama, who was it that dumped the buckets of money on advertising to water it down to a mere marketplace from Romneycare? It was the private insurance companies. What was the main reform that got adopted in that in lieu of state coverage? That the insurance companies could no longer deny people with pre-existing conditions.
I mean, the state provides public schools, free for all aged ≈5-18, but we don’t call it “education insurance.”
but we don’t call it “education insurance.”
Did you not see where I said this?
You just get a whole lot of extras for the premium you pay (like road work, disaster relief, penalizing criminality, etc.).
OK, they pay “health insurance premiums” and just happen to get the rest of a working state as extras. Got it.
America brain is so weird sometimes.
This is very american-centric thinking. Its just a service provided by the state on a needs basis. Like a road, or the immigration office.
So all my taxes are going to insurance somehow?
Public transport insurance?
Public school insurance?
Public road insurance?
Did you not see where I said this?
You just get a whole lot of extras for the premium you pay (like road work, disaster relief, penalizing criminality, etc.).
But, yeah, at a conceptual level, society is ultimately a safety net (synonym for insurance) when compared to the individualism from living pre-stone age.
Just say the guy was right already.
No it’s not… it’s a textbook example of a social safety net. aka Social Security. aka what they said.
A safety net is an synonym for insurance.
No insurance is a scam posing as a safety net.
An… adjective? Did you mean to claim it’s a synonym?
Fixed (it’s late here), but glad you recognized my point.
but they’re not synonyms either lol. Insurance is a very specific thing. It doesn’t just mean “Anytime you collectivize costs” or “a safety net”. It’s a specific business model used to cover specific losses of specific things.
Trump’s just jealous because Norway is the whitest country on Earth.
Cause of all the snow?
That would explain his obsession with Greenland.
He already got the FIFA Peace Prize™ 🏆, why is he complaining?
Didn’t he win champion of the year from a congressional hopeful too?
Norway of all places. The country with some of the best ratings for quality of life, education, safety and nearly every other metric.
The reason, I’ll bet, is that people who are happy and well cared for are more difficult to exploit, which is the only metric his psychopathic brain cares about.
It’s because they didn’t give him a Nobel. Narcissists are simple creatures.
More like he still thinks Norway controls the Nobel prize and he’s still mad he didn’t get it.
Imagine being so dumb you think you deserve a peace prize for funding a genocide, starting wars and having a lawless Gestapo kidnapping people and dragging them to concentration camps for minor civil infractions
having a lawless Gestapo kidnapping people and dragging them to concentration camps for
minor civil infractionsnot being white
Exactly. Norway isn’t letting him exploit them.
No, it is just because he didn’t get the Nobel Peace prize. He doesn’t care about that other stuff in the slightest, because it is not about him.
I visited Norway a couple years ago. It was a god damn fairy tail. Waterfalls and fjords everywhere. Pristine rivers, mountains and forests. Clean air and water. Amazing restaurants and public transportation. Everyone spoke English. I would live there…easy. My only complaint is it is a bit expensive but the quality of live trade off would be worth it.
Everyone spoke English.
I get what you’re trying to say but saying this feels wrong. It just bothers me when Anglophones present this as some measure other nations should strive for.
I spent 12 most learning Norwegian. I never had to use it once. My grandfather spoke it, but was a bit stubborn so we never learned it. I was more stating basically everyone in Norway speaks the English, which is nice for many international travelers as it is a common denominator for communication. Norwegian is not very useful as a second or third language, but I did enjoy it.
If you were to move to Norway, knowing how to speak Norwegian would be socially beneficial. While just about every Norwegian can carry a conversation in English, it’s mentally taxing enough that side conversations between Norwegians are done in Norwegian soon enough. And then it’s only a matter of time until the main conversation is done partly in Norwegian.
I’ve seen a lot of international students feel left out, not because the Norwegians want to exclude them, but because it’s less socialy draining to talk in the same language you think in.
He couldn’t make dark money hand over fist in Norway, so he can’t understand why anyone would want to be there.
I doubt donnie dumbass even thought about it that hard or knows any of that.
He is just a man-baby throwing more ketchup on the wall because the black man got a prize and he didn’t. He will just never get over so many things - Obama having two terms and getting a prize that he didn’t being fairly high on the list.
Visit Oslo, it makes home depressing, unless you live in Oslo.
Time to take the keys away from gramps.
Time to take him behind the shed and unload both barrels into him at point blank.
Gut shot, the kind that takes hours or days
Dress him in a dogsuit and hand him to Noem.
Agreed, on a separate subject, who the hell writes a 1300 word mini essay on a micro blogging platform, have to be a complete lunatic 🤔 lol
Natalie.
Ohh good point…the attention span required just isn’t there with dear leader lol
With the em dashes I’m sure it was grok.
- Grok as dictated by Donald J trump Or something along those lines lol.
Grok: Presidential Edition
Now with Super Intelligence
Lol
Trump is such a moron 😂 Anyone would be lucky to be born in norway.
To this day, I still have no idea why my Norwegian friend became a US citizen and started living here in the US
The US is actually a great place to live if you are a wealthy white person.
You could have left it at wealthy.
Then you still run the risk of getting randomly shot by ICE
Nah. If your rich and not white there are still major downsides. It’s definitely more important how much money you have these days, but like, racism is still extremely common.
Tgey turned on the pvp mode
I wish any reporter would ask Trump a simple question like, “Can you say a number between 500 and 1000?” or “What is the capital of the United States?” or “Name a country in North America.”
If you name everything America, you do bestly on cognitive tests.
Norwegian here. Most of us don’t care.
I for one feel very satisfied that Trump hates us. I take it as a huge compliment.
Nothing has grossed me out more than when Trump years ago said he wanted more Norwegian immigrants and less immigrants from “shithole countries.”
To quote Rick & Morty: “Your boos mean nothing, I’ve seen what makes you cheer!”
I can’t wait until we don’t have to see his tantrums everywhere. One day everyone will forget all about him.
We had better not forget about him. Just like we had better not forget about all of the other monstrous people in our history and the monstrous things that they’ve done.
So, are you saying that the USA’s healthcare and quality of life is worse than that of a shithouse country?
Because our healthcare and quality of life is inferior to Norway’s. According to… everybody but you, you blathering dingus
Oh hilarious, another American with an opinion about a country he has never seen.
Norway has their shit together. It’s a better Sweden.
A more expensive one; that’s for sure.
