This perspective can also be 100% correct flipped the other way. Plenty of people think every bit of criticism must be racism in disguise. They convince themselves because that's what they want to believe.

Yes really, they are critical of everything American. You forgot the part where he said "come back".

If you spit on a group of people who happen to have a slightly similar skin tone and have been attacking you, it doesn't mean the skin tone was the reason.

Trump vs the Squad

5 elected public servants engaging in behavior that would make an 11 year old blush.

We used to be a serious country.

Being critical of America is what Trump ran on. That has been pointed out before. He said it was no longer great. Here is how it works in Trump land.

Don't like our immigration laws? Get out.

Don't like our abortion laws? Get judges to overturn them.

He never told John McCain or Lindsey Graham to go back from where they came.

It's racist plain and simple and no different that Trump saying he couldn't get a fair court ruling because he had a Mexican judge or his Obama birther remarks or his Central Park 5 execution remarks - Trump 's history is full of such statements.



Time to call him out for what he is - a self serving racist.

I honestly don't think Trump hates those women because of their color or that they are women. He hates the rhetoric and criticism that is spewing from them. His statement though, because they are women of color (is that even PC to say ? Not sure anymore) can be construed as racist. Those with common sense and that can think logically understand that Trump meant before you start shredding what I am doing here, go back to the countries of your origins (even though 3 were born here) and see if you can fix those ****holes then you can comment on my job. For those that hate Trump, well he left the door wide open to be labeled a racist. How dare he call these powerful , progressive , women of color out.
Probably one of the dumbest things he's done, and hopefully it doesn't cost him the 2020 election.

True. Since they have nothing of themselves to offer, they grab onto the racist card. Pathetic!

I think support for Trump has actually gotten stronger since this whole thing started.
