    Context is everything, Consider the source, Etc.

    In Trump's Case, it was Obviously Racist.

    Not liking someone does not make someone a racist.

    While I agree in general with your post, I don't personally "love" immigrants or "loathe" illegals. But, I do understand, sympathize with & support legal immigration as a positive force on American society. I don't want or support illegal immigration into America, but I don't "hate" those attempting it. I am old enough to recognize that life can hit you with unanticipated situations that you don't control, & have a difficult time responding to in the normal, acceptable ways. Some illegals get trapped by these situations, & deserve our compassion & help at times. But, generally speaking, illegal immigrants should be intercepted & deported at the border. Dreamers are an entirely different matter. I support giving them a pathway to citizenship.

    Libs are weird creatures, they think foreigners or non-americans are a race..... logically they should then think that Americans are a race too (different from the foreigners race) but clearly they don't as they trash, insult, denigrate Americans and American symbols like American flag and the anthem day in, day out.

    Who knows how these liberal brains are wired lol

    Yep.... telling members of the American race to leave the race and join the race of non-americans is very racist indeed.

    Jeez, libs crack me up. Lol

    Would he have said the same to a group of Hilary Clinton, Bernie Saunders, Elizabeth Warren and John Delaney?

    The answer would be no. The difference? They are white

    Trump is pandering to his base spouting his own thoughts

    True. But in context, Trump singled out 4 WOMEN OF COLOR from a total of 435 members of the House. It's interesting that they are all WOMEN & are OF DARKER SKIN than himself. It is widely known & accepted that Trump has problems with both women & people of color. In this debacle, he combined the two together in a way that deflates any assumption of randomness in his selection.

    Thank you! I found it fitting with our current political atmosphere.

    Trump was a Democrat before he was a Republican so he definitely follows whatever headwinds benefit him the most. I understand the anti illegal immigration sentiments but I have never understood the people that are anti-immigrant, we are a nation of immigrants.

    (Oh, and he’s absolutely a racist pandering to a base that contains more than its fare share of racists)

    You are correct the proper designation of Trump is a racist and a xenophobic. Let us now when he suggests a white person go back to where they came from.

    Apparently you are unable to distinguish the stark difference in the two threads OP content and conclusions. This one is about our biased media and how they report opinion as fact and yes it's opinion that Trumps remark was racist which makes this story more in a long line of fake news stories about him.

    No matter what Trump does, the Left are going to demonize him.

    He could could cure cancer but Left-wing media would go "Drumpf kills the jobs of cancer researchers and doctors!".

    There's no satisfying these people. May as well bring some popcorn and have fun at the sheer childish behaviour.

    oh if you could only not agree without the aggreges language. Orangeman, Orange orangutan by a congressman the other day, Nazi, white supremacy, hitlar, the baby balloon, I could go on and on and on. Then your politicians have the audacity to tell half the country they're deplorables, white trash, uneducated on and on. Bottom line you clucks don't have a leg to stand on when it comes to divisions, what he said isn't racist I don't care how many brown people heard it. It has nothing to do with race, it has to do with if you think this country is so damn bad move and when you come back you'll have some perspective on why we're the greatest most giving financially and militarily in the world. We've had it with globalist agenda that took away jobs and only built wealth for the elite.

    Now to get to immigration only in America can an asylum seeker walk through two countries to claim asylum, only in America can you walk across the border get a court date not show up, commit a crime, get free education and healthcare and protected from the police and border agents by cities and states. When we that have a lick of sense say this is the dumbest idea in the world and is killing jobs for our minorities and low income, we're called racist. No matter how hard you try your dumbass race baiting tactics will not work, you don't get to change the definition to fit you political agenda.

    Yeap considering you're saying it was racist gives me comfort it's all political racebaiting by the left. Same tactic everyday, I can't believe people of color haven't realized the left hasn't done a dang thing for them except keep them down.

    Damn, racist, racist, racist, racist. I don't give a F anymore cause the left claims that EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE they dislike is RACIST... Overused term and no longer has the bite it used to.

    I disagree that any of these four women hate America. To support your claim, give me examples of their hatred.

    Being socialist is NOT a bad thing, or an anti-American thing. Many socialists are very nice people who care deeply about the country & its citizens.

    If it's anything wouldn't it be xenophobic?

    No. because they are American women so how could it be xenophobic unless you are saying that only white people can be American. The fact that he told black Americans to go back to their own country is racist, clear and simple

    If anything it's xenophobic......


    Xenophobia is the fear or hatred of that which is perceived to be foreign or strange.[1][2][3] Xenophobia can involve perceptions of an ingroup toward an outgroup and can manifest itself in suspicion of the activities of others, and a desire to eliminate their presence to secure a presumed purity and may relate to a fear of losing national, ethnic or racial identity.[4]

    The Dems are finally united under the squad's "We are all anti-American, pro-Al Qaeda, pro-socialism today" banner.

    Poor Nancy's attempts to marginalize the squad have completely collapsed, she is part of the squad now.

    No it's racist. He singled out four black women who have the same views as other white Democrats and the section I bolded in your post is a racist extract - racist want to keep their nation "pure" (purity) and racial identity intact
