OSLO - Many Norwegians rejected on Friday a suggestion by U.S. President Donald Trump that they would be more welcome to move to the United States than immigrants from “shithole countries” such as Haiti or African nations.
The Nordic country, one of the richest in the world by GDP per capita, was last year named the happiest nation on the planet and is known for a cradle-to-grave welfare state funded in part by large reserves of oil and natural gas.
“On behalf of Norway: Thanks, but no thanks,” tweeted Torbjoern Saetre, a politician representing Norway’s Conservative Party in a municipality near Oslo.
Others condemned the U.S. president’s comments as inappropriate or racist.
“We are not coming. Cheers from Norway,” one woman wrote.
While hundreds of thousands of Norwegians emigrated to the U.S. in the 19th century, just 502 out of a population of 5.3 million people moved there in 2016, down 59 from the previous year, according to Statistics Norway.

Don’t believe these Lying Leftist Media outlets including Reuters that have proved themselves to be operatives of the DNC and intentional liars. They are presumed to be lying and we should presume what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the outlet providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying.
Why don’t we follow Trump’s lead here on FR? Let’s limit posting headlines from these wretched Lying Leftist outlets. If this story is true and has some redeeming value, at least get the story from a reasonably reliable source, not from a known Lying Leftist operative posing as a “news” organization.
You can always count on the MSM to take it to another level of stupid.
There goes America..haha
I’m sure there are many Norwegians who would love to move here, but the flying pig liars at Rooters have no interest in interviewing them.
After they receive more “migrants”, they may change their minds......
They can always emigrate to Haiti.
Norwegians settled the area where I live (Camano Island WA) over 100 years ago. Their legacy remains, including lots of blond, blue-eyed children in the local schools.
Must be Oslo news day.
One of the media’s favorite words ‘allegedly’ is curiously missing from this article.
I like the Norwegians.
I like their kimonos and chopsticks.
Norway percent of GDP spending on welfare 25.1
United States 19.3
OK, got it:-)
Just 502 in 2016. I wonder what the reason was? Norwegians stopped wanting to come here? (As these stupid self-selected tweets suggest). Or did US immigration policy keep them out?
My bet is on #2. Especially in obama-world where:
1. white, well educated, and productive = evil undesirables who are not wanted.
2. brown illiterate = wonder humans welcome here any time.
We want the good Norwegians. We don’t care about the bad Norwegians. Trump classified clearly that he did not address the Haitian shit hole. He was talking about the African shit hole. Why would we want uneducated tribal dancers here? the don’t even have numbers or an alphabet!!— or the wheel!! What can they do for us?
“Must be Oslo news day”
well done, very well done.
Amazing that they surveyed every Norwegian in 24 hours!
Does this mean the Gert Jonny's aren't coming?
You mean they would raise average IQ in detroit?
