    It is not racist and not a racist trope

    It could easily be applied to white Anglo people from London

    Your claim is a massive fail

    Every American citizen has the same right to stay or leave as you do because we all share the same rights under our constitution.

    I doubt Trump's tweets will have the effect desired on those to whom they were directed.

    No it is not

    And if you are taking it step by step back up and specify which minority he referred to

    Telling racial minorities to "go back" to another geography when they are from this geography is at least questionable.

    Thats all Trump said.

    Trumps intent was to stop the bickering within the democrat party, if temporarily.

    They spent last week calling each other racist.

    Trump wants them unified. ;)

    He's certainly furthering that aim with tweets like this.

    Make no mistake-these dems despise each other. He's just giving them an opportunity to say "cheese".

    Would it be differen than telling a "white" America-hating immigrant to go back home?

    At least 18 Repubs have condemned Trump.

    I guess they will now be on Trump's shitlist and he will now tell them to go back to wherever their ancestors came from.

    Ayanna Pressley- Chicago born and raised

    AOC- Mother was born in Puerto Rico

    Rishida Tlaib- Palestinian parents

    Illhan Omar- Somilian born

    What do all those areas have in common? They sure could use some help getting government squared up

    Depends? Are they gay? Is there anything about them that gives them special privilege?

    She married her own brother. I think she is the very worst of an already disgusting progressive field the Democrats are parading around Washington.

    Did you watch their press conference lol, wow these ladies have buried themselves and have moved their own presidential candidates to the back page. They said Trump was a occupant of the whitehouse not the President. They bashed Trump for border conditions when they are the ones that change the laws and are the only ones that voted against funding to improve the border. They forgot to read the Mueller report on collusion.They wouldn't acknowledge any of their attacks on the President, nor on America, nor on jews, or anything else. What a joke and you can bet a minimum two of these dunces will be bounced at the next election.

    Trump belongs in prison. Pressley, AOC, Tlaib and Omar are American heroes.

    ...but not so different from POST-1970 citizens, eh? You really think you'll get lots of agreement on a rejection of politicians who hold positions that have developed since 1970? Really? LOL!!!

    So you are adamantly against any and all who would like to see problems of housing, healthcare, economic justice, and immigration solved. You believe if a person can't afford housing and healthcare they can just go live in a box under a bridge until they die of some disease? I mean what are you advocating here? You should know that some people probably don't think YOU deserve anything either. And you want everyone to believe you're a proud American??? Those are not American values. They are not the values of a nation that actually believes people have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They are callous fascist values.

    That is beyond ridiculous. Trump's bigotry can be turned around here.... if you don't like what America stands for, you might find a country that suits you better.

    wow. And you're not at all ashamed to openly say that? MOST Americans, I believe, DO agree with her.

    I think that calling others racists makes them appear non-racist!

    So you think I will read his words differently if Republicans call it racist?

    I imagine most pols despise each other (I'm sure there's plenty of Repubs who despise the orange one) but he's handing Dems a unifying message with this.

    That sells!

    Sure he is: the idiot.

    It depends on his motives and intention, which we'll never know unless he admits them.

    You're saying your family came here for money?

    From where?

    And how about you go back there?
