Trump tells Democratic women of colour to leave U.S. in 'racist and disgusting' tweets


President says group of U.S. congresswomen should return to 'crime-infested places from which they came'


U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday assailed a group of Democratic congresswomen of colour as foreign-born troublemakers, including Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, left, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday assailed a group of Democratic congresswomen of colour as foreign-born troublemakers who should go back to the "broken and crime-infested places from which they came," ignoring the fact that the women are American citizens and all but one were born in the U.S.

Trump's tweets drew sharp rebukes from Democrats, who derided his remarks as racist. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the president wants to "make America white again."

Meantime Republican Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, a Trump critic who recently took steps to leave his party, called the remarks "racist and disgusting."

Trump was almost certainly referring to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and her allies in what's become known as "the squad." The others are Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. Only Omar was born outside the U.S., in Somalia.

Ocasio-Cortez swiftly denounced his remarks. "Mr. President, the country I 'come from' & the country we all swear to, is the United States," she tweeted.

With his remarks, Trump again inserted himself into a rift between Pelosi and the liberal congresswomen, after offering an unsolicited defence of the Democratic speaker days earlier. Pelosi has been seeking to minimize Ocasio-Cortez's influence in recent days, prompting Ocasio-Cortez to accuse Pelosi of trying to marginalize women of colour. "She is not a racist," Trump said Friday.

On Sunday, Trump's tone changed.

"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," he said in tweets. "Why don't they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came."

He added: "These places need your help badly, you can't leave fast enough. I'm sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!"

Trump's tweets came just days after three members of the group of four progressive Democrats gave emotional testimony about the conditions they witnessed when they visited border facilities earlier this month.

Tlaib called the government's family separation policy an intentional and cruel strategy "created by the Trump administration dead set on sending a hate-filled message that those seeking refuge are not welcome in our America."

"We do have a crisis at our border; it is one of morality," she said.

The attacks may also have been meant to further the divides within the Democrat caucus, strained over internal debates on liberal policies and on whether to proceed with impeachment proceedings against Trump. Instead, Democrats as one voice denounced the comments, which evoked the old racist trope of telling a black person to go back to Africa.

"Unfortunately there is an American tradition of telling people to go back where they came from," New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democratic presidential contender, said on CNN's State of the Union. "It's a very bad tradition that we need to weed out of our nation because we are a nation of immigrants, that is who we are by our nature for hundreds of years. But you don't expect to hear it from the president."

It was far from the first time that Trump has been accused of holding racist views.

His political career was launched on the backs of falsely claiming that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States. In his campaign kickoff in June 2015, he deemed many Mexican immigrants "rapists." And last year, during a White House meeting on immigration, he wondered why the United States was admitting so many immigrants from "shithole countries" like Haiti, El Salvador and several African nations.

Ocasio-Cortez, who is of Puerto Rican descent, was born in the Bronx, New York, and raised in suburban Westchester County.

Pressley, the first black woman elected to the House from Massachusetts, was born in Cincinnati.

Omar, the first Somali native elected to Congress and one of its first Muslim women, was born in Somalia but spent much of her childhood in a Kenyan refugee camp as civil war tore apart her home country. She immigrated to the United States at age 12, teaching herself English by watching American TV and eventually settling with her family in Minneapolis.

Tlaib was born in Detroit.

This is standard fare for anybody who has ever immigrated to USA and Canada, it is not reserved for people of colour.

I am as white as they come, but I cannot count the times here on Terb I have been told to go back to where I came from.

In real life, where people cannot hide behind annonymity, it of course happens much less. I can only imagine what it must be like for recent immigrants that are brown or black, not to mention the ones who wear 'muslim' clothing.

It is a myth that Canada is welcoming to Immigrants. It is simply not true.

You mean those DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED Women of Colour?
So was Hitler and Chavez and many more. The fact that these Congresswomen were elected doesn't change who they are- anti American pieces of shit.

Speaking out against injustice does not mean you hate America. The only people who say this are those who support injustice.

It is un- precedented that this POS president tells american citizens, and elected officials, to leave the country.

It demonstrates for all to see, that he does not care to be president for the whole country, but only for his core constituency of lunatic deplorables.

Consider for a moment the language used by people here on Terb that, hiding behind annonymity, applaud his racist actions.

Indeed. Some of our terb brothers appear to spend a good deal of their time surfing some rather dark places on the internet.

In fact, look what happens even when they stray from terb’s Politics Section into The Lounge- they creep others out and get told to take their nasty bile back to the Politics Section where they spew Hate freely.

Comparing the policies of the federal agency, instituted by the DEMOCRAT President(a certain Obama), to Nazis is what makes the likes of AOC so odious and why Trump is going to sweep like Reagan in 84.

You may be correct. Trump may indeed sweep to a glorious victory in 2020. But make no mistake- at some point there is going to be a reckoning for what is going on right now.

On the slopes of Mount Parnassus, Greece
“I’ve been trying to figure out how to bring everybody together — I think the president just did that for us,” Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) said. “Nobody in our caucus is going to tolerate that kind of hatred.”

Trump just can't stop being Trump. I mean the Dems were devouring each other and then he has to open his big mouth.

Big mistake by him. Oh well this should keep the lefties busy for quite some time I figure.

Speaking out about perceived injustices and targeting the men and women of ICE and border security who are just trying to do their jobs the best that they can under incredibly difficult circumstances, is anti American. Making up bullshit about women having to drink toilet water is anti American. Calling a President and his followers racist because they disagree on policy is anti American. Fighting against a citizenship question on the census is anti American. Voting against funding for border security during a crisis is anti American. This group of legislators - AOC, Talib, Omar and Pressley do not share the best interests of the majority of Americans. They are extremist radicals intent on doing harm to the system.

Is telling American citizens to go back to their own country anti-American?

Depends on the circumstances. Normally I would say yes it is. In this case Trump said the following:

"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.
"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.

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

I don't think its a case of telling them they should go back, it's a mere suggestion. Done so in jest. Still I think that the office of the POTUS should rise above this nonsense. It's probably one of my biggest gripes against DJT. He's a thin skinned narcissist. But let's be honest here. You've got Congresswoman Tlaib vociferously calling for the impeachment of Trump for months without any legal basis. Impeach the motherfucker isn't that what she said? She's vile.

A mere suggestion? Are you out of your mind? Tlaib was born in Detroit. Ayanna Pressley was born in Cincinnati. AOC was born in the Bronx (just like Trump's father). Where should they go back to??? The only one of the 4 born outside the US is Ilhan Omar. I disagree with these 4 vehemently. But for the president of the United States to use such vile language is truly beyond the pale. Trump is worse than an asshole!
Precisely, that the 3 women were born in the USA. Trump's own father was ashamed to say that he was of German descent. He was bullshitting that he was Swedish, but then Germany was in the Neo-nazi era. So Donald Trump the racist does not have a leg to stand on. He defended the disgusting Neo-nazis even after the Charlottesville killing of Heather Heyer. For his cult followers to agree with his racist attacks on these Democratic Women who were elected by the Americans, is not unexpected as they blindly follow his stupidity. But if Trump cannot accept that fact then, he is the one who should return to his country of origin, as we are all aware of his incompetence!!

Well, considering they are all American and living under Trump's incredibly inept and corrupt government he might have a point.
They should go back to Washington and impeach the racist, raping, motherfucker and fix the system.

You didn't need to give us a real example of disgusting and racist, to make your opinion known. Better ignored.

You are wrong to claim these women will extract key voting bases from Trump. You are right to say he is appealing to his core racist voters and that there will be a lot more of this. Proof. He is digging in - as to be expected - this morning by claiming it is the women who rather owe him an apology.
And yet there are Trump supporters like Kathleen here who continue to claim that Trump really isn't racist.
How far can he push them before they finally admit he is a racist and will that turn them away from him?

So sure, if his core is totally racist this won't hurt him, but if there are those who think they support his policies but don't support racism, what will this do to them?
Certainly this won't increase his base or vote.

Trying to cover up trump’s sadistic treatment of immigrants is unAmerican.
