Trump attacked non-white female congresswomen who were born in the US by telling them to go back to their home countries.
Trump’s racist rant against non-white House Democratic women
Trump tweeted:
So interesting to see “Progressive†Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly……

….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!

Trump used a racist attack to try to divide the Democratic Party
Speaker Pelosi and the Justice Democrats may have their policy disagreements, but Pelosi would never agree with Trump that these women who are US citizens should leave the United States of America. Trump is trying to use the storm that is being kicked up by the far left to divide the Democratic Party. Trump was talking about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.
Trump showed that he considers only white people to be real citizens of the United States.
Beating Donald Trump is the one thing that could bring the House Democratic caucus back together in total unity.
Some of the left might have lost sight of the overall goal, which is to defeat Donald Trump next year.
Trump just reminded every Democrat of what is most important as the presidential election year approaches.
