Again... call them out for whatever they did that is somehow wrong, bad, deserving of a critique, etc.
The funny thing about him attacking Stormy Daniels is that she's never pretended she's not a porn star. And he did pay her off. It's not like she's lying. At least she's being straightforward about it.
Warren? She's a US Senator. If he is critical of her policy choices, that's one thing, but calling her names and mocking her is not presidential.
O'Donnell? He had a feud with her as a private citizen. As POTUS, he should be keeping that one on the back burner.
Obama accomplished virtually nothing of substance, but I bet you like him because he spoke kindly (usually), right?
I think you need to get your priorities right.
Trump is the first President not to be a 'Presidential' doormat.

Even if those who vote for him don't care for some of the things he says or tweets, they'd rather have a president doing what they believe in the best interest of the country, regardless of whether they like some of the insults.
1. Insults are uncalled for - period. Especially in a high-power or high-prestige position like the Presidency.
Would you say using the term "hick", "redneck", etc. to describe working class rural whites is a free pass to call a black person the N word (among other epithets)? I doubt it. And yes, the same goes in reverse. Using the N word to a black person doesn't excuse the same person from using "hick", "redneck", etc. to describe working class rural whites.
2. Insults create an atmosphere where hostility and abuse flourishes. It certainly isn't conveying actually useful ideas about how to fix things. It's just a way to release frustration and contempt and nothing else.

Plus less face it, liberals/leftists have said the same thing about other (R's) just because they don't care for their ideology.
Remember when Romney was running, they tried to paint him as anti-women as well, taking some innocuous comment about "binders of women" and trying to prove misogyny.
It doesn't matter who the (R) candidate or president is, claims of ____ism, _____phobe, _______ist, etc. have been leveled at Reagan, Bush, etc.
If there's strong evidence that he used sexist comments (including patronizing ones, sexism doesn't have to involve self-aware hatred), then he should be called out on it.

Now CNN & MSNBC (both propaganda fake news outlets for the Democrats) have repeated the word "racist" some 10k times in the last week or so.
They know Trump has made inroads with the minority community, so they are desperate to push the false narrative of him being a ________ hoping to damage him. These are not news outlets, they are agenda driven arms of a political party trying to destroy the opposition.
Where's your polls showing he made inroads with minorities? Or do you simply see that as biased or shoddy polling or more "fake news"? If you or your source can point out evidence, then you don't believe polls are necessarily unreliable. If you don't have any evidence, that's your own subjective view at best, a mere wish at worst.
More smoke and mirrors from the GOP who always come not to govern or improve life for the average American but instead to rob the treasury.
The stock buybacks have enriched shareholders to the tune of a trillion dollars in 2018, a historic amount. Does that wealth trickle down? We all know the answer to that.
Trump calls women by such names, because he knows it will appeal to the type of people who are his base. The typical Trump supporter is an old man, of Northern or Eastern European ancestry.
Some women! Stop exaggerating! Most of the time these women and men have attacked him first and he retaliated. What difference does it make what race or ancestry a Trump supporter is? If you want to go that route then a typical Democrat is a minority from anywhere other than Europe.
Obama accomplished virtually nothing of substance, but I bet you like him because he spoke kindly (usually), right?
I think you need to get your priorities right. Trump is the first President not to be a 'Presidential' doormat.
This is too easy.
So Dwight David Eisenhower, a 5 star general who commanded both the Mediterranean Theater of Operations and SHAEF during World War 2 was a doormat, but....as some people on CD like to call him....Cadet Bone Spurs (Trump), who faked having bone spurs to get out of serving is not a doormat ?
Hmm .
Who ultimately blinked during the government shutdown ?
It wasn't Pelosi, it was Trump.
Trump doesn't lash out out of strength.
He lashes out because he is, in some ways, insecure and thin skinned.
We're not talking about 'well, Johnny pushed me so I have to push back so I don't get picked on' .
We're talking about the world stage.
No Congresswoman outside 'The Squad' is the President.
None of the four 'members' of 'The Squad' is the President.
Trump is the President.
If you don't expect at least slightly elevated behavior from the President than from other politicians, then I feel sorry for you.
Again, irrelevant.
Three of these four women are United States citizens who were born in the United States, just like Pelosi, just like me, and just like you (if you were born in the United States).
That you would even ask the question above ^^^^^ demonstrates that you are utterly ignorant re the 'going back' trope. You might want to do a search for 'going back trope' and educate yourself by reading some of the results.
No, he didn't.
He didn't use any form of the word ancestors in those original 7/14/19 Tweets.
He told them to 'go back'.
He told, among others, a black woman who is a United States citizen and was born in the United States to 'go back'.
He said it. It doesn't matter what he said after that, as that doesn't mitigate nor change the fact that he still told a black woman who is a United States citizen born in the United States to 'go back'.
1. I'm not a liberal, and disagreeing with you about this doesn't make me one.
2. It doesn't matter if 'come back' is left out or not. It is irrelevant. It is irrelevant because the criticism isn't over an attempt to banish them from the country, the criticism is of the Tweet being a racist statement because he told a black woman who is a United States citizen born in this country, like he was....who was elected, like he was...to 'go back'.
Everything isn't 'Us vs. Them'.
Everyone who disagrees with you on this thread isn't a Democrat, nor a liberal, nor a leftist.
Some of us are neither Ds nor Rs, and look at each issue as it comes.
Disagreeing with someone or some thing and being able to explain why you do so demonstrates critical thinking skills.
Some of the people on this thread are either devoid of critical thinking skills, or they have them and are choosing not to use them because they have decided that supporting Trump is an all or nothing thing and have twisted themselves like pretzels to try to deny that Trump's initial tweets on 7/14/19 = a racist statement.
You need to look up the definition of racism in the dictionary. What Trump said about and to these women wasn't racist at all. They attacked him first and they obviously want to transform our country into something less desirable than it is and Trump and any other America loving person has the right to call them out on it.
These women are Democrats so why would anyone other than a Democrat support and defend their nonsense?
It is because of their ancestral roots that they don't like this country so telling them to go back to their roots wasn't uncalled for.

‘Horseface,’ ‘Lowlife,’ ‘Fat, Ugly’: How the President Demeans Women
President Trump has a history of attacking women by mocking their bodily functions, demeaning their looks or comparing them to animals.

^^^^^This. They don't like the Unites States Founding Principles. They will work to Fundamentally Transform it like Hussein Obama wanted. How any American Citizen could support their harsh, extremist positions is beyond logic. The Left (Democrats) must have a SELF Destructive, and self loathing nature.
