Only as those words pass through the amazing transformative imagination of Leftists, but in reality, no.

The words are in reality, yes. In black and white, yes.
But you don't read his actual words. You only read what the commentators claim he meant.

If you saw a white person telling a black guy that he should go back to Africa where he came from, would you think that was racist?
Why would it be any different when Trump says the same thing to hispanic women?

Bullshit. If that was the case they wouldn't be hyperfocused on the brown skinned immigrants.
nd there is no evidence of the Left's weird ascription of racism or white supremacy to Trump, who has denounced both many times, yet somehow what's in Leftist heads is taken for the reality instead of the actual reality. This is of course insanity but this will not be admitted on the Left.
Trump told hispanic women to go back to the country they came from. This is one of the oldest racist tropes there is.

Re: The Left's Imaginary Racism
The need for border controls has nothing to do with the color of anybody's skin, that's a Leftist hallucination. Telling a woman to go back home is about her unfounded complaints about this country when her own original country is a hellhole of crime and corruption, it has nothijg to do with her skin color; again that is just Leftists missing the whole point as they always do they are so consumed with the Marxist need to call their opponents racist.

three out of the four were born in america. If their country is a hellhole of crime and corruption then perhaps the president should take a look in the mirror before he starts finding blame.
it has nothijg to do with her skin color
right cause he's told white people who criticized him to go back to where they came from.

Who cares? His complaint was about her anti-Americanism, not her race.

Re: The Left's Imaginary Racism
He told 4 members of congress who are WoC to go back to where they came from. He hasn't told any white person who's criticized him the same. It's classic racism Faith. Should you have gone back to where you came from during the Obama years when you were criticizing him?

How is the statement even defensible?
For those interested, here are Trump's actual words:
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.
First, those four women are American citizens, so they are part of "the people of the United States". Furthermore, they are expressing the opinions that are held by a large number - perhaps even a majority - of the people of the United States.
Second, it is the right of the people of the United States, including these four particular people, to express their opinions on how the government is to be run.
Finally, as members of the legislative branch, it is their duty to do what they can so that the government is run as much as possible in a manner consistent with the desires of the people who voted for them.
In what conceivable way can anyone claim that telling these members of Congress to go back to where they came from is at all appropriate?

It says something about the qualities of our current president that the best argument anyone has made in his defense is that he didn't know what he was talking about. -- Paul Krugman

Re: The Left's Imaginary Racism
Who cares?
days after a racially motivated terrorist attack there might be some people who care that the american president is a racist or at the very least is playing to the racist elements within his base.

Re: The Left's Imaginary Racism
It's the Left that has been playing with racism, using racism as a bludgeoning tool, lying about Trump and his supporters being racists. The whole racist narrative is a political weapon of the Left and has absolutely nothing to do with Trump.
