“So horrible on a humanitarian basis when you see that. It’s like incredible what’s going on. But, you know, we have so many problems. And the answer is possibly yes, Cokie, possibly yes. But we have so many problems of our own. We have border problems that are big league that I exposed. I think if I didn’t expose them, I don’t think you’d be talking about them right now. I mean, it’s become a very big subject of debate. And it’s not so much debate. People now realize I was right when I made that initial statement, and by the way, took a lot of heat for about a two week period, until people realized what was going on. But we have our own problems. We have so many problems to solve. Our country is broken. Our — we owe now — you know I’ve been saying 18 trillion, we now owe $19 trillion. It’s going to go up very rapidly from this point forward. You know that 18 stayed there for a long time. But now if you look at the numbers and the balance sheets, it’s going to go up very rapidly. We’re at $19 trillion. There’s only so much we can do. We have to fix our own country.Now, Europe is handling it. Germany has been very generous so far, which is very surprising to me, to be honest with you. But there’s a huge problem, and we should help as much as possible, but we do have to fix our own country.”
Thank you onyx. Context matters, especially for true conservatives.

"Possibly" was the wrong answer, especially coming from a liberal candidate so many here are willing to accept.
An emphatic "NO" would have been the correct response. But we'll never get that from a lifelong liberal like Donald Trump.
Thanks for including Trump’s entire comments on this. It does put a different light on it to have the whole comment.
They never tire of spin!

Thanks for posting all of what Trump said about it. Not just the out of context hit piece.
Thank You Dear Lady for the rest of the story.
The headline should've said....
[There’s only so much we can do. We have to fix our own country...]
Thank YOU Onyx...”Now we know the REST of the story....good day”
Thanks onyx, perspective helps
Thanks for providing the quote and not a sound bite!
Thank you Onyx for putting Trump’s statement in context.
Without context, any snippet can look opposite of what was really said. Liberals favorite methodology is to print part of a statement.
Sad to see posters are using the same method here. Whatever happened to honesty?
Thank you so much for posting this. I don’t know when we’ll learn not to jump overboard because of headlines. I was guilty of that myself on this one. I just don’t have time to sort through all of the dailies. Thank heavens for FR. Among the lot of us, we pretty much sort them out. Thanks again.
