Donald Trump said he can tell if immigrants are bad just by looking at them – and the entirety of the internet responded as one
Say what you like about Donald Trump – no, please do – but you can’t deny that the man has a knack for saying the quiet part out loud.
In an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, Trump turned to one of his favourite topics: immigration. While talking about people “pouring in” through “open borders”, he added: “Some of whom, I won’t get into it, but you can look at them and you can say, ‘Could be trouble’.”

A longer version of the clip shows Hannity suggesting to Trump that those people have “face tattoos”.
The original clip was trimmed to leave out some rather important context. They were discussing gang tattoos. pic.twitter.com/ykmOzEu6hq

Still, people were quick to pick up on Trump’s not-so-subtle reasoning about judging people from the southern border based just on their appearance.

Mind you, you *can* tell by looking at Presidents that some are bad people, trouble…

Racial profiling being described as a legitimate means to determine someone’s guilt. From the Oval Office.

The technical term for this condition is “racism.”
