Asked a rally why the U.S. can't take people from Norway instead of 'filthy, dirty, disgusting' places like Somalia
“Why can't we have some people from Norway, Sweden -- just a few -- let us have a few from Denmark. Do you mind sending us a few people? Send us some nice people, do you mind? But we always take people from Somalia, places that are a disaster, right? Filthy, dirty, disgusting, ridden with crime -- the only thing they're good at is going after ships.”

What happened
The rally was billed as the start of an economic affordability tour. Trump revived the 2018 Oval Office 'shithole countries' episode, which he had previously denied, saying 'we had a meeting and I say why is it we only take people from shithole countries, right?' He also said Ilhan Omar 'should get the hell out, throw her the hell out,' and the crowd chanted 'Send her back.' AP and Global News reported the remarks.
