Sorry to ask, but I have been way out of the loop on recent events. My FNC-watching spouse was referencing a speech President Trump gave on Saturday where he allegedly said that immigrants were "poisoning the well of America." I know darn well this was likely taken out of context, so if anyone has a link to the whole speech I would be tremendously grateful. 😊

Sorry for a very long video, his comment about poisoning the blood of our country starts around the 4 hour 31 minute mark.
The context, to me, is the “they” who are poisoning the blood of our country is the DS, or the Biden Administration if you’re talking to normies. President Trump was saying that the Biden administration is intentionally letting these people in to damage the country.

Thank you for the video and context. Going to watch it so I can talk about what was said with better insight.
Tell your wife to turn off Faux News.
People can't watch faux news around me. They turn it off to shut me the f up. And it works. I can't handle it. kek
I usually leave the room. We were about to leave the house and caught Marc Thiessen tut-tutting about and asked the spouse about it. I'm actually glad I did.
I believe this is the wife.
Oh.
I'd just say "And..." But then again I'm divorced so you probably shouldn't take advice from me. ;)
Trust me, I thought it. 😆
It would be this I believe, based on this article
Please post when you find the full context. Honestly, at this point even if he just said that illegals are poisoning the blood of our country, hardly anyone even on the left would care too much at this point.
The problem I'm encountering is that most Republicans where I live are full-on never-Trumpers. Hubby will vote for Trump regardless, but he heard only a snippet of what he said and thinks Trump is shooting himself in the foot. If he is referring to the DS and not immigrants in general as TSearch indicated, I want to be able to defend Trump's actual intent versus the Faux News narrative.
That video does not have a transcript. So you have to listen to the whole speech to find it, perhaps at 2x or 3x speed.
Pretty much every single immigrant pouring in right now is a direct DS agent. But even speaking as a former skilled almost-immigrant who worked very hard to get to US, we made their way by being manipulated in our own countries by the very same DS economics, and once we got to US, got manipulated into doing the DS bidding. Some of us luckily woke up and realised this was not good. But a LOT of immigrants that I know are still in the same mindset ("US bad, colonialism bad, whatever we do and get away is good because whitey owes us"), so whether people like it or not - any immigration that does not include full assimilation into the host culture is "poisoning the blood of our country".
This does not reflect so much about the immigrants themselves, because most of them have fundamentally good intentions, but the lack of assimilation and manipulation that surrounds immigration.
The way I position it to never-Trumpers who are starting to see the light about other issues, but wary about immigration is that "The pendulum swung too hard to the left for too long, so don't be surprised it will swing the other way for a while, but Trump is probably the only guy who can keep it moderated regardless of his rhetorics, because you can see his actions and the people he hires" and mostly they dont have any concrete reply.
But its a nuanced discussion and you have to feel confident taking that position. In a fair world without DS there will be very little immigration because every country can thrive equally, and most people do want to prosper amongst their own people when there is no one poisoning their minds.
Reminds me of a meme:
“I’m voting for Trump.” “Trump said the migrants are poisoning the well of America!” “I just said I’m voting for him. You don’t have to sell me on it.”
🤣
