Trump wants Democrats to apologize to him for his racist attacks, which he is trying to disguise as patriotism.
Trump Demands An Apology For His Own Racism
Trump tweeted:
I don’t believe the four Congresswomen are capable of loving our Country. They should apologize to America (and Israel) for the horrible (hateful) things they have said. They are destroying the Democrat Party, but are weak & insecure people who can never destroy our great Nation!

Democrats owe Trump nothing
The racist attacks are hurting Trump and the Republican Party, but the president can’t and won’t stop the attacks because he has convinced himself that they are working. As Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) pointed out, Trump’s attacks are pushing people away from the Republican Party.
Trump isn’t getting it. He sees his approval rating rising with Republicans, so he is ignoring everything else and increasing his attacks. Democrats have nothing to apologize to Trump for. It is Trump who took help from the Russians in order to win an election. The president is trying to hide his crimes by wrapping himself around the flag and calling his bigoted un-American behavior patriotism.
Donald Trump is the racist, and the projection of his own bigotry and hate on to Democrats is destined to fail.
