In a video from October 2024, Donald Trump said that immigrants who commit murders are predisposed to it because it is “in their genes.” Now, in an interview with Fox News Radio, he has repeated the insults.

The incident took place on Friday (13), when Trump was speaking by phone with Brian Kilmeade. He was asked about the detonation of two improvised explosive devices outside the residence of the mayor of New York.

“They are sick people, and many of them were let in here, they shouldn’t have been let in. Others are simply bad, they become bad,” the Republican said in the interview.

“Genetics is not exactly… It’s not exactly your genetics. It’s one of those problems, Brian. It’s something terrible, and it happens, it happens, and it happens very often,” he continued.

Trump’s repeated comments were harshly criticized on social media.

One user on X, formerly Twitter, said it is “interesting” to watch him age because his “filter” is disappearing.

Others mocked the fact that the president is the grandson of immigrants.

Donald Trump’s mother, Mary Anne Trump, was born in Scotland before moving to New York in the 1930s.

Meanwhile, the businessman’s grandparents, Elizabeth Christ and Friedrich Trump, emigrated to the United States from Germany.
