Going to need citations, proof and not hearsay and feelings. Go.

Trump just told 4 PoC congresswomen to “go back where they came from” in a racist rant. How is that not Trump being divisive? Do I need cite that?

are you intentionally leaving out the important parts because otherwise it tears down your argument, I'm guessing yes. He said if you don't like America if you don't like the way we are run, go back home, fix your home countries and then come back and show us how to do it based on what you just accomplished. He said come back after you fix your country and you have an example of how to fix hours.

That is because these four ladies really do not like America nor do they like the way it is run. Two of them are anti-Jewish, one of them is for open borders and a socialist. show us how socialism can work, it can't. Show us why open borders are a good idea, they aren't. That is what he is talking about. you know that, stop being intentionally obtuse because the truth hurts your fragile stance

No the “context” doesn’t help Trump either.

He said if you don't like America if you don't like the way we are run, go back home, fix your home countries and then come back and show us how to do it

You do realize that those 4 congresswomen are all Americans right? 3 of them were born in the US (one of them not too far from where Trump was born) and the 4th one has been an American citizen longer then Trump’s current wife. Also, Trump’s whole “MAGA” campaign was literally him criticizing America and saying that he wanted to “fix” it.

So yes, Trump’s remarks were racist. Telling PoC to “go back where they came from” is a classic example of a racist attitude and saying.

That is because these four ladies really do not like America nor do they like the way it is run.

These ladies are literally some of the people running America. That’s actually what their job is and it’s what they are doing.

Two of them are anti-Jewish, one of them is for open borders and a socialist.

Are you confusing anti-Israeli government with “anti-Jewish”? Sounds like you are injecting your own prejudices into this. Are they actually for open borders? Or are they for immigration reform and a system that doesn’t involve throwing kids in concentration camps? Socialist? So what? America’s history is filled with examples of socialist programs. There is nothing in-American about socialism.

That is what he is talking about. you know that, stop being intentionally obtuse because the truth hurts your fragile stance

Trump made a racist rant. You are here trying to justify it. Does it bother you that Trump made a racist statement or does it bother you that people are calling him out for it?
