The 45th POTUS - Donald J. Trump

[McParadigm]

There’s a lot to unpack there.

1. My darling wife “the person.”

2. A callback to a racist taunt.

3. He doesn’t know what year he announced his candidacy? Ok.

[Strat]

Just checking in. This guy still president?

[Iholdthepain]

Yeah, looks like he will be for another half decade or some such...

[McParadigm]

To me free speech is not when you see something good and then you purposefully write bad. To me that’s very dangerous speech and you become angry at it. But that’s not free speech.

There's a lot of that going around.

Just saw 445 people have left the trump administration since he took office. Averages about one a day.
All the best people eh?

[McParadigm]

Jesus.

[E.H. Ruddock]

"we're the best and don't need fixing"... ..."come back and show us how to fix it"

[McParadigm]

It’s the naked racism of the tweet that blows my mind. Three of the four people he’s referring to were born in the United States. The other came here at 10. But they’re “different” looking so it’s “go back to your own country and fix THAT if you’re so smart.”

The “Go Back to Africa” Presidency

[dimejinky99]

They obviously have him rattled. No bad thing.

[epilogue]

there just aren't enough rage or shame gifs in the world

[dimejinky99]

Shit. This has gone everywhere.

I don’t think this is him randomly tweeting shit as he sits watching fox.
This is a concerted effort to disrupt and create a new fucked up normal for his base.

that's what it always is

How is this the "new" normal after eight years of birtherism though? I think these are probably the most racist things said by a president since Nixon, though I'd have to do a deep dive of Reagan to be sure. But Obama has been coded as a foreign Muslim terrorist by a not insignificant strand of the right since before he entered office. Think of McCain on the campaign trail where he countered a racist remark with something like, "he's not a Muslim, he's a good person." So while I do think these tweets are heinous and barefaced, I'm wary of treating them as discontinuous with right-wing thought in America.

A country founded and built by immigrants fleeing persecution and hatred in the want of a new life.

How did it come to this?

"we're the best and don't need fixing"... ..."come back and show us how to fix it"

The economy is the best it's every been...we can't afford refugees.

[Jammer XCI]

His mail order slut should go back to her shithole.

[BurtReynolds]

Somalia is not a shithole, guys.

[Jammer XCI]

Somalia is in fact Libertarian Paradise though.
