re: In response to all who piled on Trump being a racist xenophobe

"they do it too" is a pretty bad defense. His original tweet was a bad look.

It wasn't a "they do it too." Nothing about his original tweets were racist if you bother to read them instead of selecting a phrase here and there. If he just said "They need to go back to their countries because we don't like their kind here", then yeah, racist. He said they should go back and fix their own countries... What exactly is racist about that? I know that the statement isn't entirely accurate since 3 of the 4 congresswomen were born here, but his point was to bait the media into this because he knows his supporters are sick and tired of liberals and the media constantly crying "RACIST!!!" in objection to everything. They took the bait, Trump wins.

I do think he should have just kept letting the Dems fight among each other, but Trumps gonna do whatever he wants.
