Compare it with the constitution.
Unless you don't consider the costitution to be American too much..

What makes you think that they do not support the Constitution? If you can't provide any actual examples, I'm going to assume that you don't have any.

Whatever suits you.

Okay, so i think it was a foolish tweet because of the foreigner thing, which only applies to Omar.

She's a foreign-born US citizen, not a foreigner.

Albion said:

What's more, we know that the claim by 'the Squad' about other countries is contrived because Ocasio-Cortez was born in New York City of parents who also were US citizens by birth.

Albion said:

It still is not as represented by "the Squad."

Their response took liberties with the facts.

And there is nothing inherently racist about saying it would be better to help people in need rather than to grandstand for no good purpose in Congress.

Tell us, if he wasn't talking about "The Squad", to whom was he referring?

Pramila Jayapal?
Debbie Mucarsel-Powell?
Stephanie Murphy?
Norma Torres?

Aside from Ilhan Omar, those are the only four women in the House who are both Democrats and naturalized citizens. What did any of them say or do that would've brought this on?

Their biggest boast is: "We are women of color!" (whatever THAT is supposed to mean), not "We are Americans."

We all know they're Americans; why boast the obvious?

I say we should all help them move to wherever it is they think it is so much better. They don't want to do anything but turn America into one of those other countries.

Seems more like they want to make America better.

Hieronymus said:

They happen to be rather anti American too, which "alienates" them from pro Americans.
Still a foolish tweet i.m.o. though.

Keep in mind that the Right does not get to decide unilaterally what America is or what is anti-American and what is not.

Hieronymus said:

No, you're right.
Pretty dumb i.m.h.o. to tweet that.
But racist? I don't think it had anything to do with race.

Are you suggesting that he's not a racist, just an imbecile?

Hieronymus said:

Okay, so i think it was a foolish tweet because of the foreigner thing, which only applies to Omar.
For the rest i agree with what Trump wrote, but he was also trolling the left with it, which i personally tend to enjoy.
But the foreigner thing can only backfire i.m.o.
Foolish.

And now i leave this thread, agreeing to disagree on this and other matters.

Take care all.

You agree with his trolling?

Shhh... don't tell them that; it's a sure fire trip to the camps.

Is that a joke? In your entire history you’ve had precisely 2 presidents who probably weren’t racist, Carter and Obama. Clinton certainly was, same with both Bushes and Trump is about as blatantly racist as it comes.

Telling people to go back where they came from is blatant racism.

Warning the twitter link contains bad language.

No longer news because it is no surprise. In fact, as expected.

OldWiseGuy said:

Trump's tweets actually sounded quite reasonable. Those four are causing more trouble than they're worth, especially for their own party. Their antics will surely help Trump get re-elected. Look for them to get even more shrill and nutty.

The Left can find racism in a tuna sandwich. Each day a new charge of racism waiting to happen.

It's no longer up to interpretation. His tweet was pretty straightforward and clear. A big plus his supporters always bring up is that Trump doesn't mince words. He tells it like it is.

If we ignore the obvious racism, we're left with the sheer ignorance of telling an American citizen to go back where they came from and inadvertently criticizing his own government of which he is the elected chief executive.

Did you know what country those representatives were from? Donald doesn't.

I’m still looking for the racist comments in the Guardian article.

Keep at it. You’ll find them eventually.

If you actually look for them.

Funny story:

My friend, Jennifer, is from Australia. She's been living here in the US for about three years now.

She loves trolling Donald's followers, especially on the topic of immigration. The conversations (so she tells me) rarely go off-script:

Them: <usual screed about immigration>
Her: "You know, I'm an immigrant; this affects me, too."
Them: "No, you're different; you're here legally."
Her: "What makes you think I'm legal?"

*cue the crickets*

They've never been able to muster an answer -- why do you think that is?

So, does Trump just not know the difference between plural and singular?

We'll add it to the list of things he doesn't understand.
