GRAND RAPIDS, MI—Proud Trump supporter Lee Frances, 57, says he's looking forward to sitting down to a joyous feast with his extended family later today in order to acknowledge how great it is that a massive influx of immigrants arrived in America in 1620.

"I can't wait to just relax, watch some football, and have a nice meal, secure in the knowledge that Trump is our new president and he's finally going to deport all those Muslims and Mexicans and build a wall and keep everyone out of America who wasn't originally here," Frances explains.

"Thanksgiving is a time to honour those brave Europeans who came and settled in this country even though the conditions were harsh and really they didn't have much," he continues. "Those people helped make America what it is today. But, god, what a struggle. The weather was different, the food was different, the language was different. Can you imagine? Landing in a totally foreign country and having to build a whole new life from nothing? What a brave thing to do, as long as you're white."

Frances says there's been some tension in his family in the weeks following the presidential election as not everyone shares his political views – but he's hoping these disagreements won't affect the Thanksgiving meal too much.

"My idiot son voted Democrat but I'm hoping to convince him tonight that Trump is clearly the better choice. Look, it's 2016 and we have a nice, happy population of people who were born in America and deserve to be here. We can't have all these outsiders from Islamistan or wherever coming in and taking over our way of life and stealing our resources and our jobs and refusing to assimilate to what us native Americans got going on here."

"Not like, Native natives. But you know what I mean. People who were born here. I don't really know much about actual Natives."

Frances says that he's most looking forward to seeing his very elderly grandparents tonight, who were born in Germany but immigrated to America as teenagers.

"It's so great that they got into the country, because otherwise I wouldn't be here," Frances says. "But now that my people are the country, no one else can come in, okay?"

Frances cuts our interview short to tend to an enormous turkey cooking in his oven.

"I'm all about the dark meat," he laughs. "Dark meat and white immigrants! You gotta do Thanksgiving right!"
