Trump is back to tweeting this morning that the “radical left Congresswomen” should apologize to America, Israel, and to the Office of the President:
When will the Radical Left Congresswomen apologize to our Country, the people of Israel and even to the Office of the President, for the foul language they have used, and the terrible things they have said. So many people are angry at them & their horrible & disgusting actions!

If Democrats want to unite around the foul language & racist hatred spewed from the mouths and actions of these very unpopular & unrepresentative Congresswomen, it will be interesting to see how it plays out. I can tell you that they have made Israel feel abandoned by the U.S.

I don’t believe for a moment that Israel feels abandoned based on the nonsense from ‘the Squad’. Trump has so embraced Israel that I think it would take a lot more than anti-Semtism from these four to make them feel ‘abandoned’.
Trump then continued with a long quote from Lindsey Graham this morning calling them communists:
….they are Anti-Semitic, they are Anti-America, we don’t need to know anything about them personally, talk about their policies. I think they are American citizens who are duly elected that are running on an agenda that is disgusting, that the American people will reject……

…..to impeach President Trump on DAY ONE. Make them the face of the future of the Democrat Party, you will destroy the Democrat Party. Their policies will destroy our Country!” @LindseyGrahamSC Need I say more?

Graham is not wrong that these are very anti-American policies being pushed by AOC and her cronies. I don’t know that I’d call them communists per se, but they are radical socialists for sure. I know, not a lot of difference.
But let me just say something quickly about Trump’s recent tweeting. I saw his tweets from yesterday morning and while I don’t think they were racist, I do think they were stupid. Telling people to go back to the country they came from when most of them were clearly born in America just makes Trump look like an idiot, and I don’t like it when that happens. I get his overall point and I know he’s referring to their heritage, but what a clunky way to make such a point.
Trump really needs to stop knee-jerking on Twitter like this when something pops into his head. It’s not only a bad look for him, but it makes it difficult on every politician who supports him because they are the ones who have to defend these tweets in interviews with media hosts who are trying to score easy points with it. If he would just put more thought into his attack tweets, it would make it so much easier on everyone.
