Trump Somali tweet

When he name drops nationalities like this, is the president inevitably inciting hatred and somewhat violence in the form of retaliation towards this group on purpose? The tweet, especially the 'get smart people' part might aswell have said 'americans, beware of any somali you meet as they are terrorist sympathisers and want to redo 9/11, or like somali ilhan puts it 'something' '. Even though the global somali image isnt the best, at least outside of the US the somali name is at least under the radar and not too much of a negative perception to the general public. It seems recently the fairly insignificant somali name is being dragged through mud over in the states and is actively being used to incite fear and attatch otherness to it, and cant help but think this will cause many problems for the somali community, mainly in the US, in the future.

Ilhan is going to respond to that tweet. Trump is just baiting her.

she's dumb if she does. it will make her seem sympathetic to those somali refugees and their actions, and further fuel her un-American image. politicians using twitter is the worst thing to have happened in politics.

Ilhan is getting annoying now. She’s making it impossible for another Somali to get elected again.

im not sure on US politics much, but when congressmen/women run for office, do they have campaigns and policies geared for the betterment of the people in the state, or do they campaign on policies and ideas that would help and appeal to the average american more than the, in ilhans case, the minnesotan? i cant see how all of the views, policies and bills she attatches herself to made her so popular in minnesota.
 
f*ck him and his trumpanzees, because of this orange turd a lot of republicans are turning blue :qri8gs7:, except for his base which are a few and shrinking.

President Trump, who this month told Americans about the airports taken over in the Revolutionary War, had a new contribution to the historical record Monday at the signing of the Sept. 11 victims compensation fund extension.

“Many of those affected were firefighters, police officers and other first responders. And I was down there also, but I’m not considering myself a first responder. But I was down there. I spent a lot of time down there with you,” he said to a Rose Garden crowd that included 9/11 first responders.


What a utter xayawaan, the whole world sees through his bullshit.

Not sure on American politics much, but I believe the Minnesotans elected her so she needs to represent them, but she keeps saying controversial stuff. I mean if you stand by those beliefs then back them up all the way. Otherwise no point saying it and then taking it back. There’s already a lot of tension in America and she’s bringing Somalis to the spotlight and not in a good way.
