I don't see how you can interpret telling three American born people to go back to their own country in a non-racist manner."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

I don't think its racist*, its just Trump trolling. He knows they're not born in those countries. He's just inciting the media. Generating publicity, and making the news about him. Its how he got elected in the first place; People enjoying the "liberal" media being enraged uselessly, and him getting a ton of mentions.
A president doing this is rather shameful though.
*Of course its racist, but I think calling it that is just missing how Trump is manipulating the media.Last edited by Leonhard; 07-15-2019, 04:17 PM.

Oh, how I wish Trump would just get the heck off of Twitter. Here goes....
I think his tweet was stupid and ignorant, given that three of the four he was referring to are American-born, and as he later acknowledged they're all American citizens. But I don't think it was racist, because he didn't say, "Go back." He said "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."I DENOUNCE DONALD J. TRUMP AND ALL HIS IMMORAL ACTS.

His original tweet did specify that he was talking about other countries when he said "from which they came", so it could not be interpreted as just going back to their districts."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.

I think we need to coin the phrase "new racism" to indicate things that aren't really racist but people declare as such for purely political reasons.
What Trump said was provocative, but it wasn't racist by any stretch of the imagination.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God
