Trump: 'Germany's Going Down. They're All Going Down.'

Yesterday, Donald Trump chatted with far-right conspiracy theorist Michael Savage(link is external), who asked(link is external) the presumptive GOP presidential nominee about the Dalai Lama’s recent comments that European countries have accepted “too many(link is external)” refugees.

Trump, who has frequently(link is external) criticized(link is external) German Chancellor Angela Merkel for her stance on refugees and because she, in his view, robbed him of the 2015 TIME Person of the Year title, told Savage that refugees will destroy the continent: “I’ll tell you, you’re going to destroy Europe. Germany’s going down. They’re all going down. It’s unbelievable; unbelievable what’s happening in Europe.”

Not only has Trump consistently lied about the refugee crisis(link is external), but he has also threatened to deport(link is external) refugees legally resettled in the U.S.
