This whole Trump versus the squad uproar is quite funny. For almost four years these same people that are now offended have called Trump a traitor, a racist and every other name in the book. They perpetuated a false narrative for almost three years that he colluded with the Russians to steal an election while it was their candidate that actually did collude with the Russians. He accurately portrayed these people as what they are and they get all butt hurt! I agree with Trump. If you don't like it here then get the hell out!

Evan covered it well in his earlier posts. As usual, I can’t convey my thoughts as eloquently as he can.

I know you don’t think his tweet was racist. Do you not have a problem with the fact that it was incorrect?

You can do it. What sentence or word was racist ?
 
Trump is winning back the favor of his racist constituency with his latest Twitter propaganda... I'm sure he's glad to have them back fully on board.

"Man, President Trump's Twitter account has been pure fire lately. This might be the funniest thing he's ever tweeted. This is the kind of WHITE NATIONALISM we elected him for," wrote Andrew Anglin on his Daily Stormer site -- one of the most highly trafficked neo-Nazi websites.

Trump said 'many people agree' with his racist tweets. These white supremacists certainly do.

President Donald Trump's racist comments about Democratic congresswomen have won him renewed support from white supremacists who had been losing faith that he was the hero they wanted to create a prospering White America.

“Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.”

Telling immigrants to “go home” or “ back to their country” is a pretty standard racist statement.

Since three of the four he was talking about actually came from the US...

Again, do you not care that his tweet was factually incorrect?

Why don’t you read this to see that Trump fits exactly what the govt calls a racist.

“Harassment Based on National Origin
Ethnic slurs and other verbal or physical conduct because of nationality are illegal if they are severe or pervasive and create an intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment, interfere with work performance, or negatively affect job opportunities. Examples of potentially unlawful conduct include insults, taunting, or ethnic epithets, such as making fun of a person's foreign accent or comments like, "Go back to where you came from, " whether made by supervisors or by co-workers.”

So, to all but four republican members, making racist tweets is ok, but pointing out that they are racist is a problem.

Collins did the same thing when it was pointed out that trump said “$4!thole countries”. It was ok for trump to say it, but not to talk about it.

Just following what Trump’s EEOC says. It’s textbook. Have you ever told an immigrant to “go back to their country.”? I sure haven’t. Our president has.

You haven’t addressed what you think about Trump’s tweets being factually incorrect.

The "squad" have been in Congress for a little less than 7 months. I'm guessing math, much like the ability to identify racist comments, isn't your strong suit?
