Now to be fair to trump, is there any real evidence that he has had sex with any non white women? Everyone he seems to cheat on his wives with is white. This isn't like Strom Thurmond.

Times change, but my racist grandpa wouldn't have considered anyone from the Balkan region to be white.

Honestly, "Go back to Africa/Mexico/etc" is the sort of thing I'd expect a white supremacist like him to say, and *that* is why it's not significant.
Isn't Mueller due to give congressional testimony this week? Between that and his concentration camps, this isn't much - it's the same "Only white people are truly American" thinking that pushed him to, among other things, embrace Birtherism, insist that Judge Curiel was "Mexican", and tell Jewish Americans that his fellow crook Netenyahu was "[their] Prime Minister", so it's really not even new for him.

China’s 2nd Quarter growth is the slowest it has been in more than 27 years. The United States Tariffs are having a major effect on companies wanting to leave China for non-tariffed countries. Thousands of companies are leaving. This is why China wants to make a deal....
....with the U.S., and wishes it had not broken the original deal in the first place. In the meantime, we are receiving Billions of Dollars in Tariffs from China, with possibly much more to come. These Tariffs are paid for by China devaluing & pumping, not by the U.S. taxpayer!

Great minds think...
Why do people around him allow him to keep gaslighting the American public? You'd think someone would want to put an end to it.

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.

Why would they want to do this ? President Trump's so called gaslighting is doing the job it's intended to do.
People who would actually bother to research the situation and find that little or nothing of what he tweets is founded in fact are likely already implacably opposed to President Trump.
OTOH the 40%-45% of the US electorate who thinks that President Trump is doing a fine job will take these tweets at face value and be happy to be reassured that the President is doing an excellent job.
Get these 40% - 45% out in 2020, get them to influence their less well informed friends and that's a recipe for reelection.
When all is needed is a piece of paper, a pencil and a box. And a want for honest elections.

Yes. And if one doesn’t have all the facts, is talking about a complicated subject, and wants to convince another person of something that one thinks is vital, then it is pretty common to exaggerate the few bits of information (or misinformation) that one has.
Although I suppose that might not be relevant as the 40-45% try to convince their friends and relatives because President Trump’s claims are already so over the top that to exaggerate them requires going as far as things like serial killing or child rape. Oops, too late, we are already there. (Although, to be fair to President Trump, those wild unfounded exaggerations were flying around before he stepped into politics - but my point stands).

Let me correct myself. His claims are so over the top that they include the idea that the entire executive branch is in a massive conspiracy to hide facts and to discredit or otherwise hinder the greatest President in history. And the claim that all other important world leaders publicly or privately acknowledge that his successes are amazing. How does one even exaggerate that? Call him the greatest national leader in written history?

Interestingly, not one of his supporters here has turned up to defend it, or (in my dreams) admit it's bad.

It hasn't changed my opinion of him.
I've always thought him to be a scumbag piece of crap going back 30+ years. I've never been able to stomach the SOB, even less so now that the media whore is in our faces 24/7.
But I never really thought him to be as racist as people claimed him to be, albeit the garbage that's come out of his mouth over the years brings that to question sometimes.
This time is different though and it has cemented my doubts about his racist viewpoints. The trope he spewed out on Twitter can only come from a deep inbred type of prejudice that usually only surfaces in someone when they're under the influence of alcohol or in a heated argument (aka: temporarily losing control of their faculties).
The fact that he said this crap so casually, so soberly, and so matter-of-factly for the whole world to see, now proves his racist beliefs and shows everyone his true colours beyond a shadow of doubt.
Simply put: What I wasn't so sure of before, I am sure of now.

And even the so-called "moderate" Republicans in Congress and elsewhere are staying mum. Disgusting. Shame on them all.

I would think that this is about as far as he could go and get away with it. (But, I've thought that before...) It's still 15 months to the election -- what else is he going to say or do that's even more outrageous in order to dominate the news cycles? He might work up to actually shooting someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue!
