Since day one, Trump has been a racist. All of his actions have proved this statement! This one has to take the cake though.
VOX reported that President Donald Trump posted a series of racist tweets, suggesting that four Democratic women of color in Congress should “go back and help fix the places they came from,” accusing their home countries of being broken and crime-ridden.

Trump commented on the situation, saying it’s intriguing to observe “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen who originally hailed from countries with troubled governments. He criticized them for loudly and aggressively giving advice on how to run the United States, which he described as the most powerful nation in the world.
….and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how….

….it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!

His attacks on the congresswomen extended into Monday. The president claimed that the women owe the country an apology for their “horrible & disgusting actions.”
When will the Radical Left Congresswomen apologize to our Country, the people of Israel and even to the Office of the President, for the foul language they have used, and the terrible things they have said. So many people are angry at them & their horrible & disgusting actions!

At a press conference, Trump argued that he wasn’t concerned about the backlash to his remarks or his use of a long-used racist trope.
“It doesn’t concern me because many people agree with me,” he said. “And all I’m saying — they want to leave, they can leave. Now, it doesn’t say, ‘Leave forever.’ It says, ‘Leave if you want.’”
Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Ilhan Omar (D-MN), have all attracted attention for their outspoken critiques of DC politics in general and the president specifically.
“The squad” reporters call them, has locked a fight with Democratic leadership over a recent border bill and the direction of the Democratic Party.
But Trump’s comments have shifted attention away from that fight and to the president’s long history of racism. As well as his frequent attacks on high-profile people of color.
It has drawn criticism from both Democratic Party officials and political leaders in other countries.
The racism behind the tweet is something impossible to deny. Trump is a racist and he should not be allowed to have a second term in this country.
