telling Omar to go back to her country?

So did Trump blow it by implicitly telling Rep. Ilhan Omar to go back to her home country, fix it up, and get back to us? Did he overplay his hand? Is a remark like that, universally decried by Democrats, a step too far?
Not by Trump's standards.
The controversial string of tweets, which stirred the pot mightily in the press, was as politically incorrect as it comes. In fact, Trump hasn't put out a string like this since the 2016 campaign.
The tweets were at least in part about the 2020 campaign. They were also about weakening House speaker Nancy Pelosi,

For a guy who isn't a politician, Trump sure knows how to crack heads...politically speaking.

Nancy was trying to make the Squad go away. Trump just put them in sharp focus with all their baggage, as pointed out by Nancy, and also highlighted Nancy's difficulty in dealing with them.
It was a beautifully effective move.
What is Nancy going to do? Defend them after she just shot them down? If Nancy reacts to Trump, she weakens her own position and continues to draw attention to things that Nancy just wants to go away. Trump is keeping it from going away in a manner utilizing Nancy and in a way that it is impossible for her to respond to.
The media is in the same fix. Anything they do to respond makes Nancy and the dems look bad and keeps an ugly issue for the dems in focus. But many in the media won't be able to help themselves and will whine all over Trump, to their own detriment.
Trump OWNS these people. Stable genius indeed.

Omar is not the only brown congresswoman from a foreign country. Jayapal of Washington state was born in India and raised in East Asia. She also carries a haughty contempt for a country that her forefathers and mothers had no hand in building and yet she is as shrewish as Omar, Tlaib and O-C (although much uglier even than Tlaib...sorry, but she really is comically homely) in telling us how to run it. I applaud my new Favorite President, Donald John Trump, for verbally kicking Dem ashes because I and others like me will never get to. If he went in the ring and pummeled these toads as well as Schumer, Nadler, Swalwell, DeBlasio, Pelosi, Biden and a host of other traitors it wouldn’t be too gauche for me. I would be glad for it. Millions of us love you, Mr. President!

It's about time someone told this rag wrapped muslim pig to get out of America. Thanks, President Trump. You speak for all of us.
How sickening watching these squad women insult you and the United States and get the fawning love of our commie media as a reward for their revolting behavior. Omar... the loving muslim who married her brother can't complete a thought that isn't anathema and presents herself as someone we would all like to see gone for good...what's to say except where can I contribute to the purchase of her one way ticket home to Somalia...one of the garden spots on the earth.

Even Monica gets it wrong. Apparently she didn’t read the entire tweet where he told them to go back to their countries, and then come back… See article at Don Surber, also posted earlier.
Looks as though everyone is cherrypicking his tweets.

I don't think it was exactly that. I think what he meant was the order that he signed that said BEFORE she came to the USA her family would have to be denied asylum in the refugee (concentration) camp in Kenya that they came here from. She's now a US citizen and can't be sent back without ridiculously (treasonous) reasons. He's saying she should know how to do that American thing. If you start sounding STUPID, pipe down.

Trump won in 2016 because he is unconventional. The idiots in fake news don't understand how he did it. It will be interesting to see if he can win again using the same strategy.

She's here illegally due to the brother marriage thing right? Then by law we should deport her.

How many times have we heard that Trump has gone too far? Hispanic Judge in Trump U. case? Charlottesville? Spit-hole countries (which he denies)? Thank goodness we have a President who resists these knee-jerk attempts to bring him down. Would any other Republican have stood up to the pressure to kill the Kavanaugh nomination? And isn't Rep. Omar the one who they say married her brother? He is right to point out that she fled a country (Somalia) that was and is a disaster. She should be grateful every day that she lives in a country that has legitimate elections and allows people to hold office regardless of gender or religion. Trump is right. Her country of origin is the one that needs fixing, not the US.

I think President Trump was right on. In fact, today I will call her office and offer to pay a one way ticket for her and her family including her husband/brother back to Somali.

It’s funny that the leftists and liberal Democrats can fraudulently call President Trump any name in the book 24/7 referring to Trump’s physical appearance, including his hair, hands, and the hue of his skin with those Democrat personal insults not considered to be racist, but anytime Trump replies and criticizes the Democrats in anyway, the Democrats claim that what Trump said is “racist”. In fact the Democrats call anyone who criticizes them a “racist” these days as that's all the Democrats have in their political playbook.
Telling someone of apparent or actual foreign origin who have shown through their words and deeds that they hate America, because of the way the country is now constituted, and governed, that they can just go back to their home country that they fled to come to the USA in the first place, if they believe that America is so bad, may certainly not be considered to be politically correct speech by some “snowflakes” today, but is not being racist. As race and nation state citizenship or residency are two different things completely.
Chances are that in the 2020 election the leftist and liberal Democrats are going to find out to their grief that most Americans who will actually vote in that election agree with Trump on that issue.

People like me who back President Trump do so because he says what we're all thinking. Yes, Omar DOES need to leave this country, by yesterday if possible.

This gives all the fake conservative commentators a chance to sound all fair and balanced in condemning President Trumps tweet. It’s sickening and, for me, separates the wheat from the chaff.

I think Omar just lost her re-election with this stunt! Watching her speak like a Hooker looking for a guy to pay was stunning. MN must be proud. Yes, there are a lot of Somolia voters there, but I would bet there are way more white Svensons and Johnsons there who may have voted democrat last election, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if those folks are so ashamed of Omar that they will vote her out even if it means they have to vote Republican to do it! Do you think those Four will be in Nancy's office at 8 am tomorrow morning getting a lesson in How not to upstage the Speaker of the House! She has to be furious. I wonder how much more she will put up with before yanking them off committees and making them lick envelopes for 8 hours a day until they figure out just who is Boss there!

Another of Trump's super powers is reading minds. That is exactly what I shout at the TV or radio the minute that SN's picture or voice shows up. Of all the people who have ever washed up on the vast shores of this country, this skank is the worst!

Who believes that if an Italian immigrant or French immigrant had said all the things Omar said, that Trump would have acted differently? I don't. I agree with Trump. Maybe Omar needs to visit Somalia to see how good she has it here in the States.
