Then you quote the tweet.... and it's clearly racist. It's even more racist this read through. He doesn't consider them american, or at least he is clearly telling people not to. It's THEM, "viciously telling people of the united states". That means he doesn't consider them americans.
so answer this tail... I'll even number it so you don't get lost.
1 - What "country who's government is a complete and total catastrophe" is AOC from?
2 - What country does trump want her to go back to "fix"?
3 - What country is Ayanna Pressley from?
4 - What country does trump want her to go back to "fix"?
5 - What "country who's government is a complete and total catastrophe" is Rashida Tlaib from?
6 - What country does trump want her to go back to "fix"?
7 - Identify a single quote in modern history where anyone has told a white person to "go back and fix the totally broken and crime infested places where you came from".... anywhere...
Dude.
You don't even know what the term "racist" means, do you?
Trump's failure in the tweet is that he's ill-informed. It's why he needs to put the twitter machine to rest.
If you were forced to name 3 "totally broken and crime infested" places, your top choices would not be populated predominantly by Caucasians.
And don't take this as a challenge. The answer is obvious unless you don't want it to be.
To recap:
Trump is stupid and thought that 3 women who act un-American had roots outside the US.
He challenged them to stop trying to ruin our country, but to instead show us how it's done by fixing some other hell hole.
And then he invited them to come back and do the same here.
You've latched onto what the media tells you: Racism.
You ignore his ACTUAL words inviting them back to America.
You say Trump is racist for pointing out these four women (which he actually didn't, but let's accept this as true).
Yet these four women have separated themselves from the rest of the United States Congress to which they were elected, and have banded together and call themselves "The Squad".
This is bad all around.
Trump is a dolt for his tweet. But that's not the same thing as being racist.
Meanwhile you give a pass to the four women of color that have formed a gang within Congress.
