'Why would anyone migrate to the US from Norway? Why would you give up healthcare?' Scandinavian Twitter mocks Trump after he said he wanted Norwegians rather than people from 's***hole' countries
Twitter users erupted on Thursday after Trump lashed out demanding to know why the US should accept citizens from what he called 's**thole' countries
He was speaking about people from Haiti, El Salvador and African nations
Trump suggested the US should welcome immigrants from places like Norway
But Twitter users, some of them even from Norway, quickly lashed out asking Trump: Why would Norwegians want to come to America?
Twitter users are telling President Donald Trump that no Norwegian would ever give up access to free healthcare and a longer life expectancy to move to his 's**thole country.
Trump made headlines on Thursday when he lashed out in a meeting with lawmakers about immigration reform, demanding to know why the US should accept citizens from what he called 's**thole' countries.
He was speaking about people from Haiti, El Salvador and various African nations, people briefed on the meeting told the Washington Post.
'Why are we having all these people from s**thole countries come here?' Trump said.
'Why do we need more Haitians?... Take them out.'
Trump then suggested the US should welcome immigrants from places like Norway, whose prime minister met with Trump on Wednesday.
But Twitter users, some of them from Norway, quickly lashed out asking Trump: Why would Norwegians want to come to America?
'I'm confused - why the f*** would anyone migrate to the US from Norway? Why would you give up healthcare free at the point of access, living wages and reliable public services?,' one tweet read.
'I live in Norway and would never move to USA. We have free health care, free higher education, 5 weeks vacation 8 hours work a day. No thanks Trump,' another user tweeted.
'If you want to attract more immigration from Norway, you're going to need to provide Universal Healthcare, Free College, and robust social safety nets. Because they already have all those things.
'Norway has: universal healthcare, strong labor unions, paid maternity leave. Why the f**k would Norwegians possibly want to move here?
'Of course people from Norway would love to move to a country where people are far more likely to be shot, live in poverty, get no healthcare because they're poor, get no paid parental leave or subsidized daycare and see fewer women in political power. #s**thole.'
