Trump's Twitter feed is a repugnant place. A three-tweet thread in which he wrote that the four House Democrats should “go back” to the “crime-infested places from which they came” certainly has to rank among the most disgusting. Via latimesopinion:
President Trump’s Twitter feed is a repugnant place, and no one would want the thankless task of having to weed through all his bitter, bigoted ramblings to determine which are the most offensive. But aearly Sunday morning — in which he wrote that the four progressive House Democrats who call themselves “The Squad” should “go back” to the “crime-infested places from which they came” — certainly has to rank among the most disgusting.
But Trump doesn’t care about such niceties. Nuance has never been his thing. And in any case, he is not really trying to inform us or to make a reasoned point about anything or to express a fully formed thought of any sort. He is simply spewing as usual, and in the process fanning the flames of disunity, chaos, prejudice and polarization — all cleverly hidden behind a veneer of rote and thuggish patriotism.
In any case, to tell people in this country of immigrants that they should “go back” is a particularly familiar, childish and bigoted taunt that has been used by know-nothings throughout American history.
