How does including AOC in a comment make America corrupt???
Trump said that AOC and the others came from the most corrupt countries on earth and should go back and help those countries become less corrupt. AOC is from America. In fact, she's native American. So Trump said that America is one of the most corrupt countries on earth by saying AOC is from one of the most corrupt countries on earth.

Do you agree with the Donald? Or was Trump wrong?

Yes, again. That means it was great before and had fallen out of greatness. The 8 years prior to Trump is when that happened. Now it is great again, and wants to keep it that way. That's why his new slogan is "Keep America Great".
What happened 8 years prior to Trump to cause it to fall out of greatness?

Trump said that AOC and the others came from the most corrupt countries on earth and should go back and help those countries become less corrupt. AOC is from America. In fact, she's native American.

According to her Wikipedia entry, she describes herself and family as follows:
"We are black; we are indigenous; we are Spanish; we are European."

So Trump said that America is one of the most corrupt countries on earth by saying AOC is from one of the most corrupt countries on earth.

Do you agree with the Donald? Or was Trump wrong?

Continue reading the rest of what he said: "....and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run."

Clearly he wasn't referring to the United States as corrupt.

America underwent a fundamental transformation. We changed our traditions, our history, etc.

What's your point?

Continue reading the rest of what he said: "....and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run."

Clearly he wasn't referring to the United States as corrupt.
Read the rest of what he said:
“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,”

It's right there in his own words, he said AOC (who comes from America) originally came from a country whose government is a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world.

It's pretty clear, isn't it? In Trump's own words!

That's she's not Native American, as you claimed in post #61.

You claimed it and even gave the quote

Yes, from Wikipedia. But here's a more detailed quote from her view of her ancestry:

“My identity is the descendant of many different identities. I am the descendant of African slaves. I am the descendant of Indigenous people. i am the descendant of Spanish colonizers… I am a descendant of all sorts of folks. That doesn’t mean I’m Black, that doesn’t mean I’m Native, but I can tell the story of my ancestors.” Rep. Ocasio-Cortez Explains Her Race and Ethnicity

She can tell the story of her ancestors, but she certainly can't claim to have lived their lives.

This confirms that she is Native American. I don't know why you ever questioned that she was when you provided this proof to begin with.

As for her claiming to have lived the lives of her ancestors, I don't know why you think anyone ever said she did.

If they were all filtered out, then how did the black guy Willie T mention who didn't want to pay his rent manage to be there?

Yeah, that's why it sounds as though someone lied to him, doesn't it?

This is where they were born, but of course no one says they are American anymore, certainly not these women.

They are Palestinian-American or Somalian-Americans or or or or..

Trump pointed out that the countries they came from (you know, the first country in their hyphened nationality) are some of the most corrupt on earth while criticizing America, and that perhaps they should go back and fix those countries, and then come back and show us how it's done.

If they were just American, if people were just American in this country today, we likely would have fewer problems with America because then the problems facing Americans wouldn't be seen as racially white problems that derive from racial animosity, but rather, all our problems regardless of race -because that is what they are, all our problems.

I don’t see the logic - there are problems, but those people are ‘un-American’ because they talk about some of those problems?

What’s your point?

It wouldn't be an issue if she "looked American." As Trump said, if their ancestors were from Finland, it would be O.K. But he's convinced that "those people" can't really be Americans. Just like that Hispanic judge, who was born here of an immigrant, (as Trump was) isn't a real American, just "a Mexican" as far as Trump is concerned.

More than half of Americans say Trump is racist, including 80% of African-Americans, a new poll found

Interesting poll - I don't think it surprises too many, but I didn't realize the numbers were so extreme.
  • Just over half of the US says President Donald Trump is racist, according to a new Quinnipiac poll.
  • This poll, conducted July 25 to 28 and released Tuesday, came as Trump continues to face widespread criticism over tweets attacking lawmakers of color.
  • There's a stark divide on this issue along both partisan and racial lines.
  • 46% of white people said Trump is racist, compared to 80% of black people, the poll found.
  • Meanwhile, the poll showed 91% of Republicans believe Trump is not racist, compared to 86% of Democrats who say he is.

I guess I will never understand how they do these polls, and how they can claim what they do.

They said:
Responses are reported for 1,306 self-identified registered voters with a margin of
sampling error of +/- 3.4 percentage points.


So 1,306 people represent all of America? lol and all we need is 653 people to agree, and we know what 1/2 of Americans think - whatever they said they do?

This has gone on for 4 pages, and you all are debating over what 1306 people think? No offense, but they need a bigger number of individuals to truly claim anything if they want to say 'more than 1/2 of America' think anything. They estimated in 2018 that 327.2 million people live in the country.

Trump was called Racist for not letting the Black have a free ride.
We are being dishonest for just using the Racist Card because it makes us feel good to do so.

They throw that R card out like it's nothing now days.

And it's a shame but,
most are hip to the game.

How many will be deceived in 2020?
Not enough so as to
mess up Trump's reelection.
