Enduring Trump Example 1: American Conservative rhetoric — expressed as dialogue —goes like this:
Conservatives: Immigrants need to assimilate into our country, learn our history and language, and contribute to our society.
Ilhan Omar: I have a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science. I speak, read and write English, and I serve the people of Minnesota’s 5th District as a Congresswoman.
Conservatives: No, not like that.
Conservatives at Trump’s Rally July 17, chanting about Rep. Ilhan Omar: “Send her back! Send her back!”
Fun fact: Rep. Omar has been a US citizen longer than Melania Trump has.
Another fun fact: Trump rails against “chain migration” as something that needs to end.
A few months ago, Melania Trump’s parents became US citizens.
“How?” you might ask.
Melania Trump’s parents became citizens
through chain migration.
Enduring Trump Example 2: In July 2019, Trump said “If they don’t like it here, they should leave,” referring to 4 non-Caucasian members of the United States House.
Trump hates these US Representatives because they have criticized him and his actions.
Neither I — nor millions of people like me — can send Trump back to where he came from, because he was elected to the office he now disgraces. I have to wait until he’s voted out of Office or convicted of crime and impeached, or until he resigns to avoid impeachment.
In the same way that I — and millions like me — have to tolerate him until he’s gone, no one can “send back” Rep. Ilhan Omar — or Rep. Occasio-Cortez, Rep. Pressley, or Rep. Tlaib — because the members of their districts elected them to their offices in the U. S. House of Representatives.
Apparently neither Trump nor his rabid supporters understand that.
