Oddly enough I almost agree with Realist on this one.
Anyone with half a brain would realise that Trump was suggesting that they go to the country their families came from to see the effects Socialism and Communism has on a country. But the media used it as an opportunity to attack Trump and deliberately misinterpret his words.
That said, Trump definitely is racist, a bigot, and economists are just now realising that his policies are making their crap economy even worse.
Oh come on, he literally said they originally came from these places when they didn’t. Anyone with half a brain should have chosen their words more carefully, tbh. The media had every right to jump on him because he tried to discredit their ideas by referring to their ancestry which is blatantly racist. Not to mention frightfully ignorant in the sense his tweet seemed to blame socialism for all the inherent problems in these countries when there are a number of underlying social and geopolitical
problems contributing to them. I can guarantee if one of his opponents told him he should jump in a time machine and go back to Germany in the late 1930s to learn how to be a real nazi, Fox News and other right leaning media would take issue with it.
You just don’t tell people who were born in the same country as you to “go back to where they came from” and not expect to be accused of racism. Jo matter what you think
If their ideology or the politics of the countries their parents or descendants came from.
