Because he’s ignorant, racist, compulsive, and hateful. No surprise here. ---

Does anyone really still think that **anything** that Trump says will impact his approval ratings or chances for re-election? He has been outrageous on so many occasions that he can now say whatever he wants. It isn’t even news anymore. And this comment has a news span of about 8 more hours or until Monday morning. ---

Are we sure he wasn’t talking about Ted Cruz? Some of the details don’t match… “Democrat Congresswomen.” But some are right on… “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.” 😉 ---

He has been outrageous on so many occasions that he can now say whatever he wants. It isn’t even news anymore. And this comment has a news span of about 8 more hours or until Monday morning. No matter what he will get at least 45% of the vote. And probably at least 250 electoral votes. Hopefully the Dems can keep him from getting to 270 in the EC ---

> [@Bijou\_Drains](#): > > No matter what he will get at least 45% of the vote. And probably at least 250 electoral votes. Hopefully the Dems can keep him from getting to 270 in the EC Actually, I can think of several scenarios where Trump does not get even close to 45% of the vote; we’ll just have to wait and see if they play out. ---

Do you support the president of the United States telling his critics who were born in the United States to “go back to where they came from”? Yes or no. ---

I heard he’s now telling Melania (and family) to go back where she came from. ETA: As had been said elsewhere, Trump was right about one thing: AOC et al do come from a crime-ridden and corrupt country. ---
