Trump didn't say go back to their countries...and not come back!

[jc456]

Another prime example of this stuff was Obama's line "You didn't build that". Obama told business leaders that the government used tax dollars to build roads, bridges, intellectual property protections and all kinds of infrastructure that these people needed to make their businesses succeed, and "You didn't build that". Conservatives twisted that into Obama saying that successful people didn't build their businesses.

"There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me – because they want to give something back. They know they didn't – look, if you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own. You didn't get there on your own. I'm always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something – there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business – you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet." - President Barack Obama

If you've got a business – you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen.

This isn't accurate. just isn't. Yes he said that, and no, people who use their homes as collateral didn't have anyone give them anything. they took the risk, and only them. If a bank gave a loan, the bank took the risk, but so did the person who got the loan, knowing success was purely on him or her. The bank makes money on the interest.

it's funny how you all really are too stupid to understand life. amazing.

And, obammy didn't get to be president without the DNC. so I can see how he feels he owes them. We don't feel that. I owe no man, I own paying my debt and that is all. I owe no man. and you all should learn that. every politician owes their party and how they govern, slam dunk.

Geez......people sure do have the political IQ's of a small soap dish.

Trump can tweet this because he can........most people concur with him. These 4 idiots don't have broad support. The media only paints it that way. Look a the Avios poll from this past weekend.......just 18% approve of socialism and AOC's #'s are laughable. The "racist" tag is st00pid....politically supported only in districts with a lot of hate-America types..............why do you think liberal radio is defunct in America? Doy......people hate listening to slam America radio.

Exclusive poll: AOC defining Dems in swing states

The findings:

• Ocasio-Cortez was recognized by 74% of voters in the poll; 22% had a favorable view.
• Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — another member of The Squad — was recognized by 53% of the voters; 9% (not a typo) had a favorable view.

Socialism was viewed favorably by 18% of the voters and unfavorably by 69%.

• Capitalism was 56% favorable; 32% unfavorable.
• "Socialism is toxic to these voters," said the top Democrat.

btw.........Axios is owned by Politico

The only thing this poll reveals is a messaging problem in swing states, because Trump and the right wing media have been in attack dog mode on these four women since the moment they were sworn in. This whole incident will backfire on Trump BIGLY.

First off, it will draw far MORE media attention to these 4 women, who are all very smart, well educated and articulate - all of the things that Trump is not. They also have some very good ideas, and lest you forget, they got a LOT more votes in their Districts than Trump did.

The more the American public sees of these women, the less scary their "socialist" ideas will seem, because America is already a mixed economy. Things like Medicare, SS and the VA are all socialist programs and people like these programs a whole lot better than they like private healthcare. Americans say they don't like socialism until you try to take away their socialist programs.

Last but certainly not least, Trump has made it perfectly clear to the entire world that his administration is a white nationalist government and that he is a racist. There is no denying either statement. Many Americans have been holding their nose and voting for him for the judges and for the tax cuts, but it cannot be denied now that his policies are racist and meant to preserve a white government in the USA. The last of the decent Repulicans will not abandon the party of Trump.

It started with the white suburban women leaving the party of misogyny. Trump will be left with his every dwindling racist, xenophobic, and misogynistic base. And there's not enough of them to get elected.

Trump is the one who said no changes to medicare or soc sec, and he's handing out largesse to rich farmers. Trumpbots are no less addicted to socialism than anyone else. So there's something beyond economics that separates the Trumpbots. And it's very noticeable.

And Miss Graham isn't much better calling AOC a commie. Imo she's nutty, but she believes in elections and Graham's whistle is no better than Trump's

Notice how when Mayor Pete had his townhall on FOX News, he got his biggest applause with saying he was in favour of single payer health care. That's when Trump got all pissy about FOX News having Democrats on. Trump doesn't want his voters seeing these peope because if they do, they'll like them.

The Squad has great ideas, and they're not really as far to the left as FOX viewers have been lead to believe. The more exposure they get to Trump voters, the less scary they'll seem. Of course they won't be white, which is a problem for FOX viewers, but they won't seem as frightening.

I don't think AOC is really any more left than say Van Holland, but he is better at not saying stuff that sounds crazy. Biden is touting …. wait for it … Paul Krugman's HC proposal of keeping private insurance but adding a medicare option. Krugman reasoned that people will pick medicare once they find it's cheaper and has more stuff. I'm not in favor of medicare for all, but …. it is what it is. My "side" lost. It's not the end of the Republic.

What actually motivated Trump to go full out racist … who knows. He's always been a racist, but he largely avoided blatant outbursts since Charlottesville. An unforced error. And the dems are preaching unity .. and maybe AOC and her posse are listening this time.

The stuff she says isn't crazy. The right is taking lines out of context, that make it appear that she's promoting outrageous ideas, because they're stripped of all of the rationale and thinking behind them. Like her whole trope of reducing the amount of meat we consume as part of her Green New Deal, and Trump saying "She wants to ban hamburgers".

Another prime example of this stuff was Obama's line "You didn't build that". Obama told business leaders that the government used tax dollars to build roads, bridges, intellectual property protections and all kinds of infrastructure that these people needed to make their businesses succeed, and "You didn't build that". Conservatives twisted that into Obama saying that successful people didn't build their businesses.

Well, I think medicare for all and an end to priv insurance, eliminating ICE and giving illegal immigrants free healthcare will ensure Trump is reelected

the left think everything is free. it's amazing the number of stupid fks that can't figure out someone pays for it all. nothing is free. Not even shipping on Amazon Prime. Nope, you have to pay ~$100 a year for that. It costs.

you want medicare for all then you forfeit 30% of your bank account.

 

[BlindBoo]

I didn't see any specific points that he disagreed with. It was more like 'Hey you four bitches, go back to the shit hole countries you came from, fix them, then come back and tell us how you did it!'

But that is the racism that is clear. Not to the Trumpbots, but Trump could use the N word to someone and they'd say "no racism." And you don't have to be a genius to figure why the believe what they do.

But how can any thinking person not see the similarity of Trump's problems with Germany and his inconsistency because he's racist against non-whites? Has he ever said it's up to him to fix Germany's military because his grandfather was German, or their immigration woes? Of course he hasn't.

It is a traditional anti immigration trope. I think it's his delivery that his audience loves the most, certainly not his rationale.

He's not anti immigration. He's married to a woman from Slovenia whose FATHER WAS A COMMUNIST. But she's white.

I agree that's true. In his crusade against non-white (fair skinned beautiful women, and their families), he is using an old anti-immigration trope "Go back to your own country" with a few Trumpian bells and whistles. The audience gets off on the bells and whistles at least as much as the insult.

"Go back to your own country"

he didn't say that, so that quote is erroneous. try again.

The "Go back to your own country" trope has been used by many anti-immigrants. Trumpybears tweets are just a variation of that theme.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Maybe you missed him saying a Judge with a latino name couldn't be fair to him. Or that Obama was not an American. Or that the media makes elections "biased." Or that so many illegal aliens voted he actually won the popular vote, despite no evidence of those votes. Trump complains that America is as broken as much as any of the four women. The difference is "some" people agree with him. So when he attacks four women who are not white, he claims he is not racist when in fact he does exactly what they do.

1. Because the judge's parents were from Mexico (not a race) and the judge could be retaliating for his anti-illegal immigration stance. That would/could be a legitimate bias. Not Racist.
2. Obama's college applications says he is Kenyan, which is not a race. Legitimate to ask why Obama said he was a Kenyan in college. Citizenship for someone being president is relevant and not racist.
3. Nothing about his comments regarding the 4 commies can be construed as racist. You're making shit up to fit your narrative. Just because they are not white does not shield them from criticism.

YOU made ALL this shit about race.

Why are you so obsessed with race?

Trump has a long history of racist controversies
Here’s a breakdown of Trump’s history, taken largely from Dara Lind’s list for Vox and an op-ed by Nicholas Kristof in the New York Times:

• 1973: The US Department of Justice — under the Nixon administration, out of all administrations — sued the Trump Management Corporation for violating the Fair Housing Act. Federal officials found evidence that Trump had refused to rent to black tenants and lied to black applicants about whether apartments were available, among other accusations. Trump said the federal government was trying to get him to rent to welfare recipients. In the aftermath, he signed an agreement in 1975 agreeing not to discriminate to renters of color without admitting to discriminating before.
• 1980s: Kip Brown, a former employee at Trump’s Castle, accused another one of Trump’s businesses of discrimination. “When Donald and Ivana came to the casino, the bosses would order all the black people off the floor,” Brown said. “It was the eighties, I was a teenager, but I remember it: They put us all in the back.”
• 1988: In a commencement speech at Lehigh University, Trump spent much of his speech accusing countries like Japan of “stripping the United States of economic dignity.” This matches much of his current rhetoric on China.
• 1989: In a controversial case that’s been characterized as a modern-day lynching, four black teenagers and one Latino teenager — the “Central Park Five” — were accused of attacking and raping a jogger in New York City. Trump immediately took charge in the case, running an ad in local papers demanding, “BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY. BRING BACK OUR POLICE!” The teens’ convictions were later vacated after they spent seven to 13 years in prison, and the city paid $41 million in a settlement to the teens. But Trump in October 2016 said he still believes they’re guilty, despite the DNA evidence to the contrary.
• 1991: A book by John O’Donnell, former president of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, quoted Trump’s criticism of a black accountant: “Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. … I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.” Trump at first denied the remarks, but later said in a 1997 Playboy interview that “the stuff O’Donnell wrote about me is probably true.”
• 1992: The Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino had to pay a $200,000 finebecause it transferred black and women dealers off tables to accommodate a big-time gambler’s prejudices.
• 1993: In congressional testimony, Trump said that some Native American reservations operating casinos shouldn’t be allowed because “they don’t look like Indians to me.”
• 2000: In opposition to a casino proposed by the St. Regis Mohawk tribe, which he saw as a financial threat to his casinos in Atlantic City, Trump secretly ran a series of adssuggesting the tribe had a “record of criminal activity [that] is well documented.”
• 2004: In season two of The Apprentice, Trump fired Kevin Allen, a black contestant, for being overeducated. “You’re an unbelievably talented guy in terms of education, and you haven’t done anything,” Trump said on the show. “At some point you have to say, ‘That’s enough.’”
• 2005: Trump publicly pitched what was essentially The Apprentice: White People vs. Black People. He said he “wasn’t particularly happy” with the most recent season of his show, so he was considering “an idea that is fairly controversial — creating a team of successful African Americans versus a team of successful whites. Whether people like that idea or not, it is somewhat reflective of our very vicious world.”
• 2010: In 2010, there was a huge national controversy over the “Ground Zero Mosque” — a proposal to build a Muslim community center in Lower Manhattan, near the site of the 9/11 attacks. Trump opposed the project, calling it “insensitive,” and offered to buy out one of the investors in the project. On The Late Show With David Letterman, Trump argued, referring to Muslims, “Well, somebody’s blowing us up. Somebody’s blowing up buildings, and somebody’s doing lots of bad stuff.”
• 2011: Trump played a big role in pushing false rumors that Obama — the country’s first black president — was not born in the US. He even sent investigators to Hawaii to look into Obama’s birth certificate. Obama later released his birth certificate, calling Trump a ”carnival barker.”(The research has found a strong correlation between “birtherism,” as this conspiracy theory is called, and racism.) Trump has reportedly continued pushing this conspiracy theory in private.
• 2011: While Trump suggested that Obama wasn’t born in the US, he also argued that maybe Obama wasn’t a good enough student to have gotten into Columbia or Harvard Law School, and demanded Obama release his university transcripts. Trump claimed, “I heard he was a terrible student. Terrible. How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard?”

For many people, none of these incidents, individually, may be totally damning: One of these alone might suggest that Trump is simply a bad speaker and perhaps racially insensitive (“politically incorrect,” as he would put it), but not overtly racist.

But when you put all these events together, a clear pattern emerges. At the very least, Trump has a history of playing into people’s racism to bolster himself — and that likely says something about him too.


And of course, there’s everything that’s happened through and since his presidential campaign.

As a candidate and president, Trump has made many more racist comments
On top of all that history, Trump has repeatedly made racist — often explicitly so — remarks on the campaign trail and as president:

• Trump launched his campaign in 2015 by calling Mexican immigrants “rapists” who are “bringing crime” and “bringing drugs” to the US. His campaign was largely built on building a wall to keep these immigrants out of the US.
• As a candidate in 2015, Trump calledfor a ban on all Muslims coming into the US. His administration eventually implemented a significantly watered-down version of the policy.
• When asked at a 2016 Republican debate whether all 1.6 billion Muslims hate the US, Trump said, “I mean a lot of them. I mean a lot of them.”
• He argued in 2016 that Judge Gonzalo Curiel — who was overseeing the Trump University lawsuit — should recuse himself from the case because of his Mexican heritage and membership in a Latino lawyers association. House Speaker Paul Ryan, who endorsed Trump, later called such comments “the textbook definition of a racist comment.”
• Trump has been repeatedly slow to condemn white supremacists who endorse him, and he regularly retweeted messages from white supremacists and neo-Nazis during his presidential campaign.
• He tweeted and later deleted an image that showed Hillary Clinton in front of a pile of money and by a Jewish Star of David that said, “Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!” The tweet had some very obvious anti-Semitic imagery, but Trump insisted that the star was a sheriff’s badge, and saidhis campaign shouldn’t have deleted it.
• Trump has repeatedly referred to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) as “Pocahontas,” using her controversial — and later walked-back — claims to Native American heritage as a punchline.
• At the 2016 Republican convention, Trump officially seized the mantle of the “law and order” candidate — an obvious dog whistle playing to white fears of black crime, even though crime in the US is historically low. His speeches, comments, and executive actions after he took office have continued this line of messaging.
• In a pitch to black voters in 2016, Trump said, “You’re living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, 58 percent of your youth is unemployed. What the hell do you have to lose?”
• Trump stereotyped a black reporter at a press conference in February 2017. When April Ryan asked him if he plans to meet and work with the Congressional Black Caucus, he repeatedly asked her to set up the meeting — even as she insisted that she’s “just a reporter.”
• In the week after white supremacist protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017, Trump repeatedly said that “many sides” and “both sides” were to blame for the violence and chaos that ensued — suggesting that the white supremacist protesters were morally equivalent to counterprotesters that stood against racism. He also said that there were “some very fine people” among the white supremacists. All of this seemed like a dog whistle to white supremacists — and many of them took it as one, with white nationalist Richard Spencer praising Trump for “defending the truth.”
• Throughout 2017, Trump repeatedly attacked NFL players who, by kneeling or otherwise silently protesting during the national anthem, demonstrated against systemic racism in America.
• Trump reportedly said in 2017 that people who came to the US from Haiti “all have AIDS,” and he lamented that people who came to the US from Nigeria would never “go back to their huts” once they saw America. The White House denied that Trump ever made these comments.
• Speaking about immigration in a bipartisan meeting in January 2018, Trump reportedly asked, in reference to Haiti and African countries, “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” He then reportedly suggested that the US should take more people from countries like Norway. The implication: Immigrants from predominantly white countries are good, while immigrants from predominantly black countries are bad.
• Trump denied making the “shithole” comments, although some senators present at the meeting said they happened. The White House, meanwhile, suggested that the comments, like Trump’s remarks about the NFL protests, will play well to his base. The only connection between Trump’s remarks about the NFL protests and his “shithole” comments is race.
• Trump mocked Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign, again calling her “Pocahontas” in a tweet before adding, “See you on the campaign TRAIL, Liz!” The capitalized “TRAIL” is seemingly a reference to the Trail of Tears — a horrific act of ethnic cleansing in the 19th century in which Native Americans were forcibly relocated, causing thousands of deaths.
• Trump tweeted that several black and brown members of Congress — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) — are “from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe” and that they should “go back” to those countries. It’s a common racist trope to say that black and brown people, particularly immigrants, should go back to their countries of origin. Three of four of the members of Congress whom Trump targeted were born in the US.

This list is not comprehensive, instead relying on some of the major examples since Trump announced his candidacy. But once again, there’s a pattern of racism and bigotry here that suggests Trump isn’t just misspeaking; it is who he is.

but in his tweets from the other day you said he said country, i'm still waiting for the quote bitch.. post it up or you are a loser liar

But yet if it was Obama who said these things you would call him a racist you hypocrite.

so again, ahmmmmm, post the quote where trump said country. until you do that, you're a liar. fk stay a liar, I don't fking care.

I would use quotes to confirm or deny anything anyone said. Including obammy

"Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe.....Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came."

Yes, but anti-immigration and racism are not one in the same. People can legitimately oppose ILLEGAL immigration and not be racist.

CNN Reporter to McConnell: Would You Consider It Racist If Someone Told Your Wife to ‘Go Back’?

Manu Raju Presses Mitch McConnell on Trump Tweets

BUT that was NOT what Trump tweeted!
FACTS again blur people and the MSM but that doesn't matter...

What Trump DID SAY exactly from the below tweets:
"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!"

Trump asked them to HELP solve these places ie. 3 of them from USA and one from Somalia and then COME BACK AND SHOW us!
"GO BACK" ....FIX the problems of the places they came from... and SHOW us how it was done!

but you idiots believe the BIASED MSM!
CNN, MSNBC say 'racist' more than 1,100 times regarding Trump 'go back' tweet since Sunday
CNN, MSNBC say 'racist' more than 1,100 times regarding Trump 'go back' tweet since Sunday

The link to his entire childish tirade was there.

Old trope different bell and whistle.

He might as well have said "Hey you four bitches, go back to the shit-hole countries you came from and fix them first , then come back and tell us how you did it." He just jazzed it up a bit. Showman that he is. He knows what his audience likes.

Talib outright called the President a “motherfucker”. Has any sitting member of Congress ever used such pigfucker language when referring to the President?

SFW? Probably. I heard President Nixon and President Washington had extremely foul mouths.

My premise was not whether Presidents or members had foul mouths. Please go back and read.

• 2005: Trump publicly pitched what was essentially The Apprentice: White People vs. Black People. He said he “wasn’t particularly happy” with the most recent season of his show, so he was considering “an idea that is fairly controversial — creating a team of successful African Americans versus a team of successful whites. Whether people like that idea or not, it is somewhat reflective of our very vicious world.”
• 2010: In 2010, there was a huge national controversy over the “Ground Zero Mosque” — a proposal to build a Muslim community center in Lower Manhattan, near the site of the 9/11 attacks. Trump opposed the project, calling it “insensitive,” and offered to buy out one of the investors in the project. On The Late Show With David Letterman, Trump argued, referring to Muslims, “Well, somebody’s blowing us up. Somebody’s blowing up buildings, and somebody’s doing lots of bad stuff.”
• 2011: Trump played a big role in pushing false rumors that Obama — the country’s first black president — was not born in the US. He even sent investigators to Hawaii to look into Obama’s birth certificate. Obama later released his birth certificate, calling Trump a ”carnival barker.”(The research has found a strong correlation between “birtherism,” as this conspiracy theory is called, and racism.) Trump has reportedly continued pushing this conspiracy theory in private.
• 2011: While Trump suggested that Obama wasn’t born in the US, he also argued that maybe Obama wasn’t a good enough student to have gotten into Columbia or Harvard Law School, and demanded Obama release his university transcripts. Trump claimed, “I heard he was a terrible student. Terrible. How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard?”

For many people, none of these incidents, individually, may be totally damning: One of these alone might suggest that Trump is simply a bad speaker and perhaps racially insensitive (“politically incorrect,” as he would put it), but not overtly racist.

But when you put all these events together, a clear pattern emerges. At the very least, Trump has a history of playing into people’s racism to bolster himself — and that likely says something about him too.


And of course, there’s everything that’s happened through and since his presidential campaign.

As a candidate and president, Trump has made many more racist comments
On top of all that history, Trump has repeatedly made racist — often explicitly so — remarks on the campaign trail and as president:

• Trump launched his campaign in 2015 by calling Mexican immigrants “rapists” who are “bringing crime” and “bringing drugs” to the US. His campaign was largely built on building a wall to keep these immigrants out of the US.
• As a candidate in 2015, Trump calledfor a ban on all Muslims coming into the US. His administration eventually implemented a significantly watered-down version of the policy.
• When asked at a 2016 Republican debate whether all 1.6 billion Muslims hate the US, Trump said, “I mean a lot of them. I mean a lot of them.”
• He argued in 2016 that Judge Gonzalo Curiel — who was overseeing the Trump University lawsuit — should recuse himself from the case because of his Mexican heritage and membership in a Latino lawyers association. House Speaker Paul Ryan, who endorsed Trump, later called such comments “the textbook definition of a racist comment.”
• Trump has been repeatedly slow to condemn white supremacists who endorse him, and he regularly retweeted messages from white supremacists and neo-Nazis during his presidential campaign.
• He tweeted and later deleted an image that showed Hillary Clinton in front of a pile of money and by a Jewish Star of David that said, “Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!” The tweet had some very obvious anti-Semitic imagery, but Trump insisted that the star was a sheriff’s badge, and saidhis campaign shouldn’t have deleted it.
• Trump has repeatedly referred to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) as “Pocahontas,” using her controversial — and later walked-back — claims to Native American heritage as a punchline.
• At the 2016 Republican convention, Trump officially seized the mantle of the “law and order” candidate — an obvious dog whistle playing to white fears of black crime, even though crime in the US is historically low. His speeches, comments, and executive actions after he took office have continued this line of messaging.
• In a pitch to black voters in 2016, Trump said, “You’re living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, 58 percent of your youth is unemployed. What the hell do you have to lose?”
• Trump stereotyped a black reporter at a press conference in February 2017. When April Ryan asked him if he plans to meet and work with the Congressional Black Caucus, he repeatedly asked her to set up the meeting — even as she insisted that she’s “just a reporter.”
• In the week after white supremacist protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017, Trump repeatedly said that “many sides” and “both sides” were to blame for the violence and chaos that ensued — suggesting that the white supremacist protesters were morally equivalent to counterprotesters that stood against racism. He also said that there were “some very fine people” among the white supremacists. All of this seemed like a dog whistle to white supremacists — and many of them took it as one, with white nationalist Richard Spencer praising Trump for “defending the truth.”
• Throughout 2017, Trump repeatedly attacked NFL players who, by kneeling or otherwise silently protesting during the national anthem, demonstrated against systemic racism in America.
• Trump reportedly said in 2017 that people who came to the US from Haiti “all have AIDS,” and he lamented that people who came to the US from Nigeria would never “go back to their huts” once they saw America. The White House denied that Trump ever made these comments.
• Speaking about immigration in a bipartisan meeting in January 2018, Trump reportedly asked, in reference to Haiti and African countries, “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” He then reportedly suggested that the US should take more people from countries like Norway. The implication: Immigrants from predominantly white countries are good, while immigrants from predominantly black countries are bad.
• Trump denied making the “shithole” comments, although some senators present at the meeting said they happened. The White House, meanwhile, suggested that the comments, like Trump’s remarks about the NFL protests, will play well to his base. The only connection between Trump’s remarks about the NFL protests and his “shithole” comments is race.
• Trump mocked Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign, again calling her “Pocahontas” in a tweet before adding, “See you on the campaign TRAIL, Liz!” The capitalized “TRAIL” is seemingly a reference to the Trail of Tears — a horrific act of ethnic cleansing in the 19th century in which Native Americans were forcibly relocated, causing thousands of deaths.
• Trump tweeted that several black and brown members of Congress — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) — are “from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe” and that they should “go back” to those countries. It’s a common racist trope to say that black and brown people, particularly immigrants, should go back to their countries of origin. Three of four of the members of Congress whom Trump targeted were born in the US.

This list is not comprehensive, instead relying on some of the major examples since Trump announced his candidacy. But once again, there’s a pattern of racism and bigotry here that suggests Trump isn’t just misspeaking; it is who he is.

but in his tweets from the other day you said he said country, i'm still waiting for the quote bitch.. post it up or you are a loser liar

But yet if it was Obama who said these things you would call him a racist you hypocrite.

so again, ahmmmmm, post the quote where trump said country. until you do that, you're a liar. fk stay a liar, I don't fking care.

I would use quotes to confirm or deny anything anyone said. Including obammy

Listen loser it doesn't matter if he said country's or not I just schooled you about Trump being racist.I will say it a can Trump doesn't bother looking stuff up,3 of those women are from America.

 

[jc456]

But that is the racism that is clear. Not to the Trumpbots, but Trump could use the N word to someone and they'd say "no racism." And you don't have to be a genius to figure why the believe what they do.

But how can any thinking person not see the similarity of Trump's problems with Germany and his inconsistency because he's racist against non-whites? Has he ever said it's up to him to fix Germany's military because his grandfather was German, or their immigration woes? Of course he hasn't.

It is a traditional anti immigration trope. I think it's his delivery that his audience loves the most, certainly not his rationale.

He's not anti immigration. He's married to a woman from Slovenia whose FATHER WAS A COMMUNIST. But she's white.

I agree that's true. In his crusade against non-white (fair skinned beautiful women, and their families), he is using an old anti-immigration trope "Go back to your own country" with a few Trumpian bells and whistles. The audience gets off on the bells and whistles at least as much as the insult.

"Go back to your own country"

he didn't say that, so that quote is erroneous. try again.

The "Go back to your own country" trope has been used by many anti-immigrants. Trumpybears tweets are just a variation of that theme.

And yet he didn’t say it. So you’re a liar , aren’t you proud?

Trump has a long history of racist controversies
Here’s a breakdown of Trump’s history, taken largely from Dara Lind’s list for Vox and an op-ed by Nicholas Kristof in the New York Times:

• 1973: The US Department of Justice — under the Nixon administration, out of all administrations — sued the Trump Management Corporation for violating the Fair Housing Act. Federal officials found evidence that Trump had refused to rent to black tenants and lied to black applicants about whether apartments were available, among other accusations. Trump said the federal government was trying to get him to rent to welfare recipients. In the aftermath, he signed an agreement in 1975 agreeing not to discriminate to renters of color without admitting to discriminating before.
• 1980s: Kip Brown, a former employee at Trump’s Castle, accused another one of Trump’s businesses of discrimination. “When Donald and Ivana came to the casino, the bosses would order all the black people off the floor,” Brown said. “It was the eighties, I was a teenager, but I remember it: They put us all in the back.”
• 1988: In a commencement speech at Lehigh University, Trump spent much of his speech accusing countries like Japan of “stripping the United States of economic dignity.” This matches much of his current rhetoric on China.
• 1989: In a controversial case that’s been characterized as a modern-day lynching, four black teenagers and one Latino teenager — the “Central Park Five” — were accused of attacking and raping a jogger in New York City. Trump immediately took charge in the case, running an ad in local papers demanding, “BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY. BRING BACK OUR POLICE!” The teens’ convictions were later vacated after they spent seven to 13 years in prison, and the city paid $41 million in a settlement to the teens. But Trump in October 2016 said he still believes they’re guilty, despite the DNA evidence to the contrary.
• 1991: A book by John O’Donnell, former president of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, quoted Trump’s criticism of a black accountant: “Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. … I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.” Trump at first denied the remarks, but later said in a 1997 Playboy interview that “the stuff O’Donnell wrote about me is probably true.”
• 1992: The Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino had to pay a $200,000 finebecause it transferred black and women dealers off tables to accommodate a big-time gambler’s prejudices.
• 1993: In congressional testimony, Trump said that some Native American reservations operating casinos shouldn’t be allowed because “they don’t look like Indians to me.”
• 2000: In opposition to a casino proposed by the St. Regis Mohawk tribe, which he saw as a financial threat to his casinos in Atlantic City, Trump secretly ran a series of adssuggesting the tribe had a “record of criminal activity [that] is well documented.”
• 2004: In season two of The Apprentice, Trump fired Kevin Allen, a black contestant, for being overeducated. “You’re an unbelievably talented guy in terms of education, and you haven’t done anything,” Trump said on the show. “At some point you have to say, ‘That’s enough.’”

"Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe.....Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came."

Donald J. Trump on Twitter

still
no mention of him saying go back to your country. He didn’t say that you lying prick

 

[jc456]

"Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe.....Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came."

you left out this part:

"Then come back and show us how...."

See Trump's tweet.

.

The link to his entire childish tirade was there.

Old trope different bell and whistle.

He might as well have said "Hey you four bitches, go back to the shit-hole countries you came from and fix them first , then come back and tell us how you did it." He just jazzed it up a bit. Showman that he is. He knows what his audience likes.

Except that isn’t at all what he tweeted, all made up you fake prick
