News snippet: Ilhan Omar, the Somali-born Minnesotacongresswoman, has said Donald Trump is lashing out at her and her community with bigotry because he “knows he is failing”.
The US president dismissed Somali Americans earlier this week as “garbage” in a racist rant.
Omar, a Democrat, made the observation in a personal essay published by the New York Times praising the resilience of Somali Americans and condemning the Trump administration for its promise to send federal agents to Minneapolis and elsewhere in her state for immigration enforcement raids.
“The president knows he is failing, and so he is reverting to what he knows best: trying to divert attention by stoking bigotry,” she wrote.
Omar added: “Mr Trump denigrates not only Somalis but so many other immigrants, too, particularly those who are Black and Muslim. While he has consistently tried to vilify newcomers, we will not let him silence us. He fails to realize how deeply Somali Americans love this country.”

He know’s he’s sick.

We all know he is failing

Nah … he made it because he is a racist bigot to the core.

No he doesn’t know. His reality filter is one of the best ever.

Remember that this is the “they’re eating cats and dogs” guy.
The only shocking part is we invited him back into the White House instead of doing what the French and Brazilians did to their despots.

I think his dementia has gotten a lot worse

Yesterday it was Venezuela, today is Somalia, tomorrow it will be some other group. Distract, distract, distract.
But it is also because he just doesn’t like non-white people. The mere sight of a darker skinned person triggers him.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to the “Browning of America”. Interestingly, the same phenomenon is happening in other Western countries.

Nope. Even when he’s succeeding he still goes on racist rants

I mean he IS failing. But I don’t think he knows that. I think he’s brain is so broken he actually believes what he says.

Trump would never understand nor acknowledge his failure. He’s incapable of that much self awareness. He is a racist. Plain and simple. That’s one of the main reasons so many conservatives love him.

He’s dying too.

And he’s a racist criminal trying to distract from that

No, it’s because Somalis stole $250 million from taxpayers with the help of Ilhan Omar (she passed the bill to make it possible, has relations with some of those convicted, and received donations from the scam). It’s because a Minnesotan mosque wrote a letter of support for a rapist, saying he just isn’t used to American way of life yet. It’s because Somalis have unemployment rates 4x higher than the rest of Minnesota. She’s freaking out so much about being called garbage because she knows it’s the truth. And that’s all she will ever be.

Surely this will get him into heaven?

Didn’t she make a whole speech talking about getting rival clans out of the state/ country because people didn’t vote for who she wanted? It’s racist when someone else does it but not her?
trump failed so hard in his coup attempt that Americans made him president again!
I’ve been listening to “trump is failing” for the last 10 years. Graham said back then that “trump will destroy the GOP”.
I’m still waiting for these predictions to come true. Not holding my breath though. I’m never again going to misunderestimate just how racist and stupid Americans are and how all that racism and stupidity allows criminal idiots like trump to rise to power.

The anti-Semite is complaining about racism…

I like her optimism at least

He’s just scared of a strong woman, and he doesn’t have the chance/balls to call her, ugly,piggy,dumb to her face. He’s also in a tailspin because all this isn’t going as he planned.
