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......— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 14, 2019
....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....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 14, 2019
Redstate: As Democrats Fight a Civil War, Trump Strips Naked and Runs Onto the Battlefield
But why though?
The Democrats are currently embroiled in a civil war so damaging that you have members calling each other racist and threatening to primary one another. For the first time since their election, the self-described “squad” of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her minions are on their heels, not sure how to react to the fire they are taking. Even the liberal media are infighting about which side to take as the volleys are launched.
Meanwhile, the economy is booming and President Trump is enjoying one of the more positive stretches of his tenure.
Well, he was at least. For some reason, he thought it would be a good idea to wake up this morning and tweet the above.

WNU editor: It has been quite a political week in Washington .... Racial politics roil Democratic Party (The Hill), and now this .... Leave the US, Trump tells liberal congresswomen of color (AP). So why is President Trump getting involved in his opponent's civil war with the expected blow-back? Glen Reynolds from Instapundit is probably onto something when he posted this ....
.... Trump is pointing out that these “it” girls are ungrateful asses who don’t like America. By not naming them, he’s forcing their defenders, and his critics, to admit that they’re ungrateful asses who don’t like America before they can even talk about the issue. This isn’t hard. But if you want more, there’s this way of putting it: All the Democrats have to do is not be crazy, and Trump’s making it impossible for them to do that.
Glenn Reynolds has a point. President Trump did not say who these Congresswomen are, but the AP just did. And it is going to resonate in a way that I do not think President Trump's opponents realize. I had an experience a few months back listening to two people who were with a friend that I have known for years complaining that they cannot get a job with their engineering degrees, and are forced to work in a restaurant at minimum wage. They are from India, and they told me that they have been in Canada for three years. I did not feel sorry for them, and I told them why. Their English was poor. They have not bothered to learn French even though they live in Montreal, and their university degrees are worth squawk in Canada. It was not what they wanted to hear. From their point of view Canada is intolerant when it comes to people of colour, and we are to blame for their predicament. But what really irked me was their sense of entitlement. That we (i.e. Canada) owe them a better life. As an immigrant and as a Canadian citizen I was offended with this point of view, and I felt like telling them that if they feel like this, they should go back to where they come from. But here is the kicker. They will not. I have been to India, no one wants to live. But it bothers me that immigrants, and in some cases the children of immigrants, feel this way. President Trump is touching on this nerve, and while his opponents in the media/Democrats/and elsewhere will accuse him of being a racist, they are actually pushing President Trump's narrative on how ungrateful these people are of America, while exposing their own prejudices towards Whites and certain other minorities (i.e. Jews).
