| Trumpziism - Trump hasn't let up on criticism of Somali-born U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn* |
By Elena R. Arena
In Tweeted remarks last week, Trump insulted four congresswomen by tweeting “send them back home.” Of course, the racially-charged comment has been heard by many people of color and immigrants before. He tweeted this a few times over the weekend, and provided the explanation that these women hated their country. He specifically called out Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a Muslim women duly elected by the people of Minnesota, for hating our country because she has spoken negatively about America’s policy toward Israel. Whether you agree with her or not, the policy of our America’s relationship with Israel should always be up for discussion, as should every other country. We should never blindly follow any other country’s agenda.
Well, at a rally in North Carolina later in the week, Trump started to spew the racial hate again by saying the congresswomen should leave the country if they didn’t like it here. Thousands of people at the rally starting chanting “send her back, send her back.” They chanted for about 13 seconds and when they quieted down, Trump started speaking again about the same topic.
Trump yesterday at the White House said he was not in favor of the chant and tried to stop it. Of course, it was on film and he in no way tried to stop the chanting. Trump was advised that this was not good for his political ambitions, so he threw his supporters under the bus by saying he didn’t like the chant and would rather they didn’t chant. Just one more lie from the mouth of a man who really has no idea what truth is.
Morale of the story, if you are a Trump loyalist, he might throw you under the bus some day as well.

*MaineWriter- the deliberately racist tRump-Tweets and the irresponsibly evil "chants" are directed at the Trumzi base of red hatted thugs.
