Breaking News: Trump Abruptly Shifts Focus to Scathing Attack on Immigration
President Donald Trump has abruptly shifted his focus from combating inflation to a scathing attack on immigration during a speech in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, December 9, 2025. Trump spoke at the Mount Airy Casino Resort in Mount Pocono, where he claimed that inflation is no longer a problem and that Democrats have used the term "affordability" as a "hoax" to hurt his reputation.
Trump's remarks took a dramatic turn as he expressed frustration with the US immigration system, asking why the country only takes immigrants from certain countries. "Why is it we only take people from s-hole countries, right?" Trump said onstage. "Why can't we have some people from Norway, Sweden, just a few?" This sudden shift in focus has left many questioning the president's priorities.
Background context shows that Trump has a history of making similar comments about immigration, first raising concerns behind closed doors in 2018 and later denying making the remarks. Critics, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, have accused Trump of using immigration as a distraction from scrutiny.
The current status of the situation is unclear, but it is expected that Trump's comments will continue to spark controversy and debate. As the situation develops, we will provide updates and analysis.
This is a developing story.
