Donald is afraid that it's been a while since the Birther campaign, and with Americans' short attention span he thought it was time to remind the White Supremacists and fans of Rep. Steve King that he has their back.

Donald is not a fan of the subtle approach.

Oh boy... the left is fixing to have a field day with this one. Can't wait to click past CNN and FOX for the next few days.

I know a lot of people will say this and say that from BOTH sides of the aisle. But she IS from Somalia. So... technically he's not wrong.

Don't forget [BLEEP] hole countries, why can't they be more like Norway?

At least someone finally got through to him that of the 4 freshman congress members he suggested leave the country, only one actually came here from another country. 

This is what his campaign will be about. Fear of immigrants and socialism. It's going to be a wild ride.

Why can't "America, Love It or Leave It" apply to MAGA complainers, too?

I Agree with the context of his comment, they should fix their own countries before coming here and telling us how to run ours.....

Because we do love it, that's why we're fighting to protect it from leftist and globalists who don't.

Trump used the plural form.
He wasn't just referring to Omar.
He was saying that AOC, Tlaib, and Pressley are also not really "from here".

Sure, he might be saying what everyone else is thinking.
But that doesn't make it good!
If you've never had a schoolyard bully tell you to "go back where you came from!" when you complain about his bullying, then, consider yourself lucky.
It definitely gets said. The Trumps definitely said it to others when they were in grade school.
The victims had to learn that the perps were ignorant.
The perps never got their forced learning opportunity, and some of them never matured.
One of them ended up as President.
None of that justifies anything. Noah was said to be the last righteous man. Those who didn't get in the boat probably thought, "oh, I'm just doing what everyone else is doing and what everyone else is thinking"

Sometimes I wonder how Trump could possibly have any supporters left, and then I visit the ol' Political forum of the Jungle. Xenophobia and racism, but it's okay because some of us agree!

I wouldn't exactly say "what everyone else is thinking", but a large number of people do think and feel the same way.  The comment was made towards the "children" in Congress, but it should have been more specific to the African.

Before anyone decides to call me "racist" for pointing out that Ilhan Omar is indeed African let's set the record straight.  There is only one race... that being the human race.  She is ethnically African.

The only reason that I said that the comment should have been directed to her specifically is because she and her family immigrated here (the right way mind you) because they wanted to be in a better place.  That's why most people that immigrate here want to do, yet she basically says that this country is not "good enough".

Two of the other three are children of migrants (that did it LEGALLY) from places that are in fact worse off than this country.  Puerto Rico (AOC) and "Palestine" (Rashida Tlaib).

I don't like or agree with President Trump's tweet, though I can certainly see where it was coming from.  It's certainly not "what I was thinking" regarding these children elected to Congress.

Don't you think it's beyond time we stop trying to throw around those buzzwords? They are constantly being misapplied to attempt to get some kind of spark from a shrinking pool of radical Dem believers. You probably believe there is this mass uprising of white supremacy as well, while Antifa continues their violent fascist ways. Pull your heads out and realize these politicians want you to fit in a nice neat little box of control. Like lambs to the slaughter and you all just keep responding to the shepherd's bell.

While I don't agree with how the POTUS framed his remarks towards those three, really four, it was far from racist and those congress folk that just happen to be women with darker skin, are complete morons with zero regard for there constituents desires or that which benefits the whole of America. In any case, I can see where it might be difficult to distinguish between a third world country and the districts they represent!

I agree with his vitriol to be honest.

And I don't care about the "accuracy" of who actually came from another country. The sentiment is, if you don't like America and freedom, go live in some third world country.
These "reps" of the people are intentionally trying to degrade and destroy our already weak and pathetic government. And while I'm all for a Revolution... They aren't bringing it... they just want welfare for all.

And by welfare for all I mean everyone, not just citizens of our country.

AOC, Omar, Harris, Waters, Warren, Pelosi, Napolitano, Rice....  I don't care what country they go to... but all of these ones can leave.
Flake, Sanders, Biden too... 

gotta toss out some white men otherwise I'll be deemed racist and misogynistic.

Calculated move by a man who is smarter than most people in the room.

The Democratic party took the bait, as expected, and are in full implode mode.

Unsure why people continue to underestimate him.

I don't like or agree with President Trump's tweet, though I can certainly see where it was coming from.  It's certainly not "what I was thinking" regarding these children elected to Congress.

It just so happens the target of his rants happen to be women of color?

Spare me the nonsense about us being "human beings."  This country's history has treated "human beings" quite differently based upon skin color.  Omar is American.  Full fledged...wholly legalized American Citizen with all of the rights that flow from being a citizen-as are the other three Congresswomen to which he refers.  

Where the hell does Trumo get off telling anyone-especially legal U.S. citizens-to leave the country, anyhow?  The fact he is urging these four United States citizens to leave the country almost as urgently as those in cages along the border shows that legal status is but flimsy pretext for those policies and proclamations.

He mentioned that all they do is complain.  First off, when does criticizing the president constitute hatred of the country?!?  Under that tacit rationale, Trump should have exited stage right when he began his wholly baseless attacks on former President Obama, and should have taken the bigoted and intransigent fascists on the right with him.

He cites allegedly anti semitic and pro al Qaeda sentiments uttered by Omar as a basis for them to leave. Again, by that rationale, Trump should be long gone from here.

What enemies of this country has Trump NOT aligned himself with?  He supports the flying of the Confederate flag and the preservation of confederate monuments, which glorify a group of individuals who were willing to renounce citizenship in this country; a group founded-by its own admissions-upon principles opposite to the U.S. Constitution those of you on the right so reflexively yammer about revering; a group that took up arms against American troops, ultimately costing over 600,000 American lives.

He supported the "very fine people" of Charlottesville, who flew Confederate flags and Nazi flags.  For those of you who conveniently choose to forget, this country was at war with the Nazis between 1941-1945.  By the way, the Nazis were coalesced around anti semitism, as evidenced by "some very fine people" of Charlottesville who chanted "Jews will not replace us."

He bends over backwards to fellate Putin, former head of the KGB, the CIA equivalent of this country's biggest 20th century adversary, the former Soviet Union. His relations with Russians is unlike any U.S. president that came before him.  Furthermore, he engaged-without preconditions-one of the last remaining communist countries in the world-North Korea, who joined the Soviet union in opposing the United States, to the point where they went to war against us.

The fact is, this country was founded on dissent.  Some of the greatest moments in this country involved reasoned, passionate debate over genuine philosophical/political differences on how best to govern this country.  The First Amendment of the Constitution guarantees the right to free speech thusly, in relevant part:  "Congress shall make no law...or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press;  or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for the redress of grievances." There is nothing in Article II that negates this, or for that matter, the rights of members of Congress to criticize sitting presidents. There are any number of Supreme court cases that have the most eloquent advocacy of policy-in majority and dissenting opinion-you will ever see.  As distasteful, misguided, myopic, and yes, bigoted as I find many takes on the right, without question I affirm your rights to voice those views without having to excuse yourself from the country.  How dare this egotistical and bigoted [BLEEP] stain invite anyone who dares to disagree with him to leave the country?!?  If his policies are the right ones, he should have no problem defending the logic of them to his critics.  Instead, he divides this country again along racial and ethnic lines with his blatant hypocrisy and betrays the traditions that made this country great.  As many times as the right accused former President Obama of being a dictator, not once did he try to get his critics to leave the country because they dared disagree with him.  Not once did he call Fox news and other right leaning media "the enemy of the people."

May Trump rot in hell.

There were laws in this country governing things as mundane as:
  • Where people of color could live
  • whom people of color could marry
  • into what entrances people of color could enter
  • from what water fountains people of color could drink
  • Where people of color could be after sundown
  • what hospitals could treat people of color
  • what schools/colleges/universities people of color could attend
  • where people of color could sit in theaters, diners and other establishments-if allowed in
  • under what circumstances people of color could serve on juries
    and countless other areas.  This doesn't even get into laws that are facially race neutral but with discriminatory effect, nor does this get into the private practices and societal norms otherwise not codified in the law.  So committed was the South to those repugnant principles and practices, they were willing to secede from this country.
These laws persisted throughout this country's history until the 1960s and 70s.  These laws could not persist without the assent of the majority-actual or tacit.  When these laws were changed, the people who supported those unjust laws and practices didn't just disappear.  Many passed their bigotry down to their kids, and worked to weaken the new laws designed to promote equality.  If laws against speeding-which have well known and tangible penalties for violating them-are routinely ignored by those not inclined to obey them, what of those laws that endeavor to enforce equality?  

If you are tired of hearing about racism, trust me when I tell you people of color are tired of experiencing it.  If you personally do not support the tenets of bigotry, then speak out against those who perpetuate it.  If,as I suspect you do, then prepare for the fallout of your hatred, which includes substantial rejection in the marketplace of ideas.
