It’s déjà vu all over again. President Trump has given the hanging party a first-rate piece of rope to use against him.
His tweet will not live in infamy, but his cringe-worthy “go back” language rhymes with many of his earlier self-inflicted mistakes. The pattern was established during the 2016 campaign and he has been faithful to it many times since taking office.
It always seems to happen when things are going pretty well. So it was Sunday, with Democrats engulfed in a vicious civil war and Trump’s poll numbers rising against the 2020 candidates as the public begins to realize how far left they are goin

Goodman is wrong.. a lot of everyday Americans think just like the President..."If you don't like life in the United States, you are free to leave."

#1, #2, you guys NAILED it!
None of any of us would have ever heard of any of these wet-behind-the-ears congresscritters except that the anti-American leftist Media relishes taking every stupid, nasty thing that falls out of these nasty women's mouths, picking it up out of the dirt, and flinging it in our faces.
For me, it gives me every reason to treat them the same way that I treat the female soccer nastiness.
My TV makes a sound when I turn it OFF.

The only thing Trump did wrong was to expand the 24 hour fake media cycle for another day on the famous four who run the Democrat Party.

Pound sand Goodwin. Trump is the antidote to the PC BS that has poisoned our ability to speak the truth. Trump was speaking the truth and you and your ilk find it shocking. Go find a fainting couch!

Goodwin might be right. The President should be more cautious about turning off his strongest supporters with his wild words. I spent yesterday with family members who have been fervent pro-Trumpers. But now, they are not only wavering, but turning away.

Who is Michael Goodwin, and why does his opinion merit publication?

He didn't go too far! Nobody is actually listening to the words people are using anymore, it's all "well he said this, which really means this" nonsense. I'm personally very tired of folks coming here and disparaging virtually everything about country *with no repercussions*, unlike the awful places they came from, and not acknowledging it! They're screaming at the people who fought and died so they could not only disparage the country but actually be elected to its highest legislative bodies! This is nothing more than the adult having it out with the rebellious teenager who needs to grow up. And we're only having this argument because the rebellious teenager is on the national stage, requiring a national level response.

Constipated Goodwin never did like Donald J. Trump. Never “approved of him”. Inched toward him on programs like Lou Dobbs’s, where he couldn’t be against him, but always dragging one heavy foot.
Expect no more now.
If Goodwin's add-a-pearls are falling apart from too much clutching, get him another set so that he can continue on. But quietly. We don’t need to hear from him.

Goodman, like so many of these pundits, still fails to recognize the Truth, which President Trump does, about the members of the democrat communist party - These fanatical enemies from within are in a total, take no prisoners war with America whose goal is to impose a communist style dictatorship over our country and in a total war the first rule is never, ever apologize to the enemy for any actions taken in pursuit of victory which in this case is the preservation of our Republic, Freedoms, Constitution, Rule of Law and our Personal Liberties. Trump told the Truth.
Finally we have a war time leader in the White House who takes the war to our enemies with a ruthlessness and single minded no holds barred, take no prisoners, offensive who will lead us to victory. The democrat communist party needs to be utterly destroyed so that they never have any power over this country again.
We are in a Civil War, Goodman and the rest of you weak spined, lily livered pukes who run around wailing and bemoaning that President Trump called out these 4 traitors who comprise the Squat Squad in blunt truthful terms, need to either join us or get the hell out of the way. Fools with pens.
Keep kicking butt, Mr. President.

NO APOLOGIES PLEASE, MR. TRUMP! It’s about time this was said about these haters. And condemning you in Congress is the same as impeaching you and will do nothing to further the Democrat cause. This country will never be united as long as the Democrat Party exists. They don’t want unity, only power to turn the US into a socialist country.

Michael and others are dead wrong:
Headline “Republican support for Trump rises after racially charged tweets: Reuters/Ipsos poll”
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-poll/republican-support-for-trump-rises-after-racially-charged-tweets-reuters-ipsos-poll-idUSKCN1UB2UD?il=0
This headline is also dead wrong. Here is the entire tweet, as recorded by Don Surber:
President Trump tweeted, "So interesting to see 'Progressive' Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now 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.
"Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!”
He did not mention anyone's race or religion.

As Surber notes, the media cherrypicked and shrieked “racist!”...

The great thing about Trump is he doesn't follow Goodwin's advice. Goodwin is wrong about most things so why would he.

Good for President Trump! I wonder if the media people have yet realized what a turn-off it is every time they push Cortez, Omar, Tleib, Pressley, Pelosi and 20 Dem clown-candidates in our faces. We are sick of their stupid, adolescent, racist (yes, racist) attacks on our president, our country, ICE, our wallets and our future.

Well, #6, my experience has been just the opposite. Everyone I know (and I don’t associate with demonrats) is cheering the President.
I hope that he quadruples down on the Sl@t Squad.

No! Pres. Trump did not "go too far".
He said:
"So interesting to see 'Progressive' Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now 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.

Show me ONE WORD that refers to race! There is NOTHING "racist" about this.
When they are out of anything substantial to say and are losing badly, they scream "racism", even when there is not a trace of it.

Anyone who claims to be a Trump supporter and gets wobbly because of what Trump tweets isn't a true Trump supporter.

He must prove nothing to you or anyone else, Michael. he's the POTUS and you're not. The adverse affects of his Tweet were completely manufactured and magnified by the MSM. He made his point and we believe that he was right in calling out four un-American idiots who could not control their mouths. Go write about Koala Bears or something but stay out of the Oval Office.

First, what Pres. Trump said was not racist. Second, what he said was a brilliant move, because it painted the pictures of those four women on the Democratic party. They have cemented their control of the party. They are the party. And they hate us.

Well, we would all rejoice if every Leftwing millionaire Hollywood type who said they were leaving the US after Trump was elected actually kept their word, but President Trump using the same language and tactics against critics of this country - oh dear - grab the smelling salts. Anyone who says they supported Trump before this and now is wavering - never really supported him - just enjoyed having their 401k grow.

At first I was like "whoa, he said that?" Then I was like, "hell yeah, only Trump would have the guts to say that!" And to be honest,, it shouldn't take guts to say what he said at all because its what real Americans who are paying attention (and footing the bill) think.
I want Trump to troll the dims even more.

No, Michael. You are incapable of understanding President Trump, or why he operates the way he does. You would better serve your readers if you wrote about how the democrats have gone too far, especially the radical members.

Only to those who would never vote for him anyway. To the millions who are going to re-elect him in a landslide in 2020, he was spot on.

I think he should have said "find another country" instead of "go back to your home countries". That was a careless mistake. Other than that the tweets were spot on and long overdue.
I wonder where # 6's family members are going to go. Would anyone actually stay home or vote Democrat on account of this tempest in a teapot?

The gentlemanly Goodwin has been generally positive about Trump. But we have become weary of fruitless, gentlemanly politicians, so in this case Goodwin has missed the mark.

Think about it. A true Trump supporter, who supported him because of his patriotism and his policies, and his commitment to the people where those factors are involved, would wobble? Waver? Turn against him? All because of the media’s having cherrypicked and totally mischaracterized a tweet?
Seriously?
No. But there have been lots of pretenders who have tried to undermine him with the “I was for him, but….” song and dance. His supporters recognize them and don’t bite.

#37, I don't believe that many are abandoning the president on the basis of this particular tweet storm. But, there is an accumulation of such events that are giving some of my family members the heebie-jeebies. They were Trump voters and they are looking for a reason not to doubt him. I am particularly gratified that now, when he repeats the "go home", he has modified the statement. That's a good thing.
