Politico reports:
Former President Donald Trump suggested in two speeches Saturday that migrants coming to the U.S. should have their own fighting league, remarking that they’re “nasty, mean” and “tough people” who could beat the country’s top fighters. Speaking first to a crowd of conservative Christians at a Faith & Freedom Coalition gathering in Washington, D.C., Trump said he shared the idea with Dana White, president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
“I said, ‘Dana I have an idea. Why don’t you set up a migrant league of fighters and have your regular league fighters,” Trump said, “and then you have the champion of your league — these are the greatest fighters in the world — fight the champion of the migrants.’” The suggestion drew laughter and applause from the crowd, a response that continued as he spoke more about the concept. Trump later repeated the idea during a rally in Philadelphia.

Trump, at a “Christian” conference, shared his idea to create a Hunger Games-style migrant fighting league wherein migrants fight each other in order to have a chance to fight the top UFC fighter.
Can we pause just one moment to reflect on how dehumanizing and insane he is?

Trump: “I said ‘Dana! Dana. I have an idea for you to make a lot of money. You’re gonna start a new migrant fight league. Only migrants. And then at the end of the year the champion migrant is gonna fight your champion … these people are killers in so many different ways.” pic.twitter.com/BmUxgIvV8U
