Comedic Actor Ben Stiller stepped into the X arena with a post claiming “Somalis are not garbage,” only to get Tropic Thunder-ed by a barrage of savage replies.
Stiller was responding to President Trump’s comments from yesterday in reference to the massive fraud scandals at the hands of Somali migrants in Minnesota.
Somalis are not garbage. Immigrants and refugees from anywhere are people like you and me. They should not be demonized. This country is built on the backs of people who have come from other places. It’s what our country is all about. ?

Of course, Stiller knows that Trump was talking about criminals, fraudsters, welfare cheats, people who contribute nothing and take, take, take. People who abuse the kindness of Americans. But the temptation to virtue signal was too strong.
Bro nobody said Somalis or any immigrant group are “garbage,” that’s the emotional straw-man people hide behind when they don’t wanna talk about failed policies, crime spikes, fraud rings, or government incompetence, so they jump straight to Hallmark-card morality like that…

One user quipped that he lives in a castle behind walls, far from the fray—kind of like how Derek Zoolander hides behind his Blue Steel pose when things get real.
I live in manhattan

According to 2023 U.S. Census data, New York State has about 3,232 residents of Somali ancestry. Specific figures for Manhattan aren't detailed in available sources, but the Somali population in NYC overall is small, likely under 1,000, with no major concentration in the borough.…

Ben Stiller preaches from his ivory tower while you live in a high security building in the West Village, which is 80% White according to the Census, one of Manhattan’s Least Diverse neighborhoods.

Others demanded he house some immigrants himself, echoing that classic Meet the Parents vibe where everything spirals into familial chaos, except this time it’s Ben fumbling the polygraph of public opinion.
Yes, according to 2025 reports, Ben Stiller still owns a 14-acre property in Kauai, Hawaii, purchased in 2022 for $8.5 million. He also maintains a high-value residence in Manhattan, such as his West Village apartment.

Theoretically, Ben Stiller's 14-acre Kauai property could house around 700 Somali refugees at typical camp density (50 people/acre). His Manhattan apartment (est. 5,000-6,000 sq ft) might fit 50 more in tight quarters. This assumes basic shelter, no luxuries—purely hypothetical!

There was even a jab about him being terrible in Night at the Museum; his response of “thanks” was almost as pathetic as the movie… almost.
Thanks

Thank you Ben for bathing in the warm infinity pool of Suicidal Empathy. pic.twitter.com/a6Lf7iHXvu

But the brutality didn’t stop there—Stiller’s virtue signal got slammed into oblivion with calls for him to open his multiple mansions, proving that if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge accountability.
How many would you like to have sent to your multiple properties?

A particularly spicy reply upgraded “garbage” to “inbred garbage.”
You’re right. Somalians not garbage.

They’re inbred garbage.
I love Somalis – in Somalia.

Not in America trying to turn our country into the same failed state they escaped from.
America doesn’t need “Little Somalia” enclaves, imported clan politics, or another experiment in cultural Balkanization. We have borders for a reason. We have a…
Greg Gutfeld chimed in about misplaced billions, turning the thread into a Heavyweights camp where Ben’s the out-of-shape counselor getting schooled by the kids.
A billion dollars intended for children, the elderly and the poor instead went to a network of grifters exploiting the easy but irrelevant sentiment you signal in ignorance. Who speaks for them?

Stiller has a track record of saying stupid things.
