President Trump on Sunday lashed out at a group of progressive Democrats, saying the female lawmakers should ''go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came'' before criticizing policies in the U.S.
''So interesting to see 'Progressive' Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run,'' Trump said in an early morning string of tweets.

Quote:Broadly, Mr. Trump’s attack was meant for members of the so-called squad, a group engaged in an existential and generational war of words with Ms. Pelosi: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna S. Pressley of Massachusetts.

“These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough,” Mr. Trump said. “I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!”

Only one of the women, Ms. Omar, who is from Somalia, was born outside the United States. Ms. Ocasio-Cortez was born in the Bronx to parents of Puerto Rican descent. Ms. Pressley, who is black, was born in Cincinnati and raised in Chicago. And Ms. Tlaib was born in Detroit to Palestinian immigrants.
....
....
Ms. Omar and Ms. Tlaib are far from the only congressional lawmakers who immigrated to the United States or were born to immigrant parents. In the House, there are currently 52 voting members who are immigrants or children of immigrants and 16 in the Senate — most of them Democrats — according to a Pew Research Center analysis from this year.

Pelosi response:

Quote:When @realDonaldTrump tells four American Congresswomen to go back to their countries, he reaffirms his plan to “Make America Great Again” has always been about making America white again.

Our diversity is our strength and our unity is our power.

Any posters here wanna defend DJT here? Seems like more petty and unpresidential behavior to me.

You vanished from this troll thread you created, what happened.

I agree with Trump. Don't come into this country from a shithole and try to turn it into a similar shithole.

An alt-left antifa democrat answered the calls of said Congresswomen and committed an act of terror on an ICE facility yesterday, and OP makes a thread about mean words.

Trump has the moral high ground here.

Yeah. Democrats should hitch their wagon to these idiots. Good luck with that.

Trump will have them admitting they hate America before he is finished goading these witless morons

He went a bit to far here. I think only one of the crew was born in another place

They certainly should not be trying to make the US like the run down one party crime infested areas they come from.

I hope they take his advice.

Solid advice to me.

Then one would think they’d be grateful to the greatest nation on earth that allowed their parents to escape those schithole countries and make a new life for themselves and their children here.

Instead? B!tch, moan, complain and try to wreck our systems and institutions from within.

Thanks, no thanks.

I agree with him. Go back and take JDT with ya. JDT could use a little real world experience.

I 100% agree they should go back to the counties they were elected from. And stay there.

No need to defend Trump here... this is the insanity of the left....

From the CNN article

Trump did not name who he was attacking in Sunday's tirade

So the fact that we're listing these 4 women as potential targets is someone else's supposition, for which Trump is not responsible.

The other indefensible thing is the interpretation of 'go back to where you came from'...

From the article: Trump implied in the series of tweets that the congresswomen weren't born in America (no he didn't, but the reader did assume and infer that)


and sarcastically suggested, "they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came."


So the issue isn't about what Trump said (just as it rarely is) but about what some others have implied or inferred that he said.

CNN is running an ad right now about 'this is an apple'... facts first... and it shows that they clearly don't understand the issue of fake news.

Trump says, when Mexico opens their prisons and sends those people here, they aren't sending us their best people... or that MS-13 members are animals or that illegal immigrants are a problem that is what he said. That is the fact. If someone then claims that he said immigrants are a problem, or Mexicans who come here aren't the best people or are animals...

those are NOT facts.

So....

The actual quote from Trump (and it's in the article) is
“Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how​ it is done​,”

Which is nothing like 'go back where you came from'. It sure isn't about 'making America more white' if he's telling them to go and then come back. That's a very blatant lie. Where is the outrage over that?

So why is the latter the headline for an article carrying the former?

THAT to me is 'fake news'... about creating opinions rather than reporting facts.

I generally appreciate your willingness to actually engage unlike most here, but this..idk.

He didn't name them? Who are the "progressive Democrat Congresswomen" for whom Pelosi would happily work out travel arrangements? This feud with Pelosi has been ALL OVER the news. I guess your point is that news orgs shouldn't infer, but it isn't insanity for the left to figure out who he's very obviously talking about.

You also left out where he said they "originally came from countries where the government is a complete and total catastrophe". Which is simply false as outside of one who immigrated at a young age these congresswomen were born here, so how did they "come from somewhere else"? We all know what he's driving at, but that's cool for the President to say?

I get that you aren't explicitly defending the comments, but you did say "no need to defend Trump". So it makes me curious what you actually think of these comments. Ignoring what the MSM says, who do you think he was referring to and what was his point?

And really, is the media not allowed to make conclusions that are honestly pretty obvious? I can see your point regarding "go back where they came from" being too strong. And I thought the MS-13 animals comment wss blown out of proportion. This one just seems so.. obvious.

Let Trump keep opening up his big mouth. It puts Harris (or Biden or Mayor Pete or Warren) one step closer to the White House in 2020.

And to think I actually said a few years ago Trump wasn't racist (sexist maybe but I gave him the benefit of the doubt on racism).

Let's see, there are approximately 16 months between now and Election Day. That's roughly 70 or so Sunday mornings where he can tweet ridiculous crap that will get most good, honest Americans fed up. The 20-30 folks on this site who keep supporting him can't vote him in by themselves. Thankfully, reasonable Americans will get to make the choice instead.

As the old saying goes .... "Home is where the heart is".

Their heart doesn't appear to be here, regardless of where they live or where they were born.
