    It seems we are stuck between two ideas.

    If his comments can be construed as racist, they are.

    If his comments can can be construed as racist, they may not necessarily be.

    Just an observation here.

    Well I think it's obviously horribly racist, the absolute proof is the fact that 3 of the 4 are from here, so what else would possess a person to something like that other than racism. It's a frickin cliche.

    And I think anyone who doesn't think so is being completely disingenuous.

    Regardless, let's say for a moment it's not...he still is a colossal jerk, and it still is a completely moronic thing for a president to say. He's like a second grader. Just a childish moron.

    And there’s the rub. Because racism can be subjective it’s not always cut and dry. What someone can call racist by one person, can be called abhorrent by another.

    Just because George is spraining his fingers playing cards from the traditional and tattered, old, and patented Race Card deck of the Left doesn't mean that he is correct. It's sort of like when the average political leftist and their Mainstream Media auto-labelled all critics of Barack Obama 'Racist!' for eight straight years . . . beginning with the Clintons during the Dem Party's primaries.

    All this current race card play bru-ha-ha of the collective Left means is that they and their RINO political allies know that they can twist things to make it LOOK like -- among their Kool-Aid gulpers -- that Trump is a racist . . . and to any card flinging political leftist . . . the appearance of the thing is at least as good as the actual reality. The political ends justify the means. Nice!

    But what's backfiring on Leftists is that people can read what Trump actually tweeted and realize that there wasn't anything even one iota racist about it. This sort of makes it look like -- gasp! -- the collective political Left is deliberately crafting and disseminating Fake News once again. End result? Trump gains a political victory over the hysterical Left -- again. Sweet!

    Gasp! A RINO who was core indoctrinated by the leftist educational system during his youth to find anything and everything 'Racist!' automatically falls in line with leftist propaganda without applying the actual ingredient that differentiates the Right from the Left . . . independent . . . thought. So no surprise there. Just gulp down the leftist generated propaganda without examination and then get in line.

    Our leftists can't do that since nothing Trump said was actually racist. It's sort of how they collectively auto labeled all critics of Barack Obama as 'Racist!' and yet never could actually identify the racism . . . except their own racism put on display as they pointed out Barack's skin tone.

    Well it may not be cut and dry....

    people may see different things, some obviously don't want to see.....

    but plenty of people on all sides see it as obviously racist.

    And plenty of people think Trump did it on purpose for political reasons. You can't say something like that and be completely blind to how people would react. He's dumb, but he can't be that dumb. He's been playing this game for years.

    These days when someone calls someone else a racist, it just tells me they are desperate and can’t find anything else if real substance to criticize them about.

    The left has cried wolf for racism so much that I don’t take racism seriously anymore.

    You think there's nothing else to criticize Trump for?

    Oh my god, it's a full time job.

    Well much of the right never did take it seriously except when they think they are on the short end of the stick. Typical selfish people that lack empathy just like President Dump.

    Many of them take it verrrrry seriously. Frighteningly so. Wackos that read The Turner Diaries.

    The collective Left forgets that during the Dem Party's primary between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama they labelled the Clintons racists -- and their supporters too -- and then the very instant Hillary conceded the contest to Barack and then she and Bill began campaigning FOR Barack the racism just mysteriously melted away. While that was not the beginning of the watering down of the effectiveness of the kneejerk playing of the leftist Race Card, it was in itself a large factor in waking the nation up in regards to just how CYNICAL the political Left was being in its constant and unending use of that political playing deck for everything under the sun.

    Racist, misogynist, homophobic, Islamophobic, yadayadayada...we already heard this in 2016. It didn't work then and it certainly won't work now. That's why Democrats lose----they just aren't creative or bright enough. They need to retool their old failed tactics. Just because Democrats call people names like a 5 year old, doesn't make them true.

    If Obama had been white, Trump would still have required his birth certificate.

    "I believe that what this president has done to our culture, to our civic discourse ... you cannot unring these bells and you cannot unsay what he has said, and you cannot change that he has now in a very short time made it seem normal for schoolboy taunts and obvious lies to be spun out in a constant stream. I think this will do more lasting damage than Richard Nixon's surreptitious burglaries did."- George Will

    Because they don't hate the country, just it's current "leadership".... Nothing more American than running for office to change that, is there?

    They are progressives. Hating America is a requirement.

    Faux racism is the democrat go to. Democrats have been playing the race game since the party was founded. They created the KKK and now BLM.

    Sincere question - why do you think the left opposes Trump, specifically? For my own experience, it has nothing to do with the fact that he is a republican president. It has everything to do with how he acts and what he says. As a lib, I don't hate republicans. I don't demonize them, simply for their political views. But Trump is a different situation. In fact, I don't even believe he is a republican - so it truly is nothing to do with his politics. I see him as beneath the dignity of the office and unworthy of the respect the office deserves.

    Because that’s absolutely the incorrect thing Americans do. We don’t leave. We make it better.

    That’s remark and demand is absolutely anti American as well

    The fact that this is now being called racist is because the 'squad' is hiding behind their race to silence any criticism of their rhetoric or politics. AOC did the same thing to Pelosi so it should be obvious this isn't about race but about the race card.
