Trump, using the language of the playground again.

Off course you can, Less. Even about a country which was built entirely on immigration from all over the globe.

The few native Americans left must be far from impressed by their President's 'patriotism'

You can be patriotic about a country that is home to many races.

And five times to boot

Patriotic draft dodger?

GillT57, absolutely spot on Patriotism is not the same as racism. I know we all try to avoid bringing Hitler into discussions but honestly, those rallies in todays US are similar to those in Germany in he 1930's. One man bringing crowds to their feet, cheering total nonsense and scary nonsense at that.

Patriotism is not the same as racism. Patriots support defend their country not just their own ethnic group. Standing in front of a crowd of ardent believers, feeding them titbit of soundbites and glorying in their frenzy is not patriotism

David I don’t like or agree with Trump but his policies appeal to a growing number of voters over there

I am not sure that is so. Have a look at these figures. projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/ The figures move around but are currently steady stating. He has had a deficit of approval from the day of his inauguration.

je patriotic? zenophobic and racist would be nearer the mark and in his recent behaviour - working everyone up to a frenzy of racism and then deprecating it and saying 'nothing to do with me'

We all know that he is passionately patriotic and there is nothing wrong with that of course.

What on earth does that have to do with it? Does patriotism excuse bullying and racism?

He enjoyed that chanting.

Racist bugger.

This mornings news reports say that Mr Trump insists he didn't want his supporters to chant "send her back". He doesn't like that chant and did his best to contain them.

Ah, that's ok then. The fact the video footage shows the truth must be fake news, what a relief. There I was, thinking the Potus was a dangerous racist, stirring up his base support group. I'd begun to fear he was inciting violence but I can relax now (can't I?)

All parties understand money- Money gets people elected- If the market remains healthy, he stands a very good chance of winning a second term- People who hate him will put up with his personality if it means stock/portfolio growth-

jennifereccles you cannot judge anything by Trump's reactions, that is a assuming that Trump is an intelligent sentient person - and he isn't.

All his reaction means is that their comments caught him on the raw, and he reacted the only way he knew how, by picking on something common to them and using it to insult them. He had a choice: the comments could be mysoginist or racist. This time he opted for racism. Next time it will probably be mysoginy.

But just watch how he react to anything, reason and rational never come into it.

You could always read their comments.

He just can't help himself, can he? Does he have no idea about how his comments will be viewed, or does he just not care? I guess the latter.

We all know that he is passionately patriotic and there is nothing wrong with that of course.

On the BBC news last night he was waving a piece of paper about and said something about some 'terrible, terrible comments' made by the women.

Of course they are perfectly entitled to criticise his policies, and being Democrats it's their duty to, but I think their comments must have gone beyond that, judging by his reaction.

It’ll be interesting next year with USA elections, wonder how much more to the left the Democrats can get by then? DT is winding them up and watching them implode.

Nancy Pelosi has been led into a trap. Instead of leading, she is a pawn of the Congresswomen she once ridiculed!

Monica, “America first” is the policy that will get Trump re-elected, confronting the liberals in the Democrat Party is part of it and he does not care what they say. Over hundreds of years migrants from every part of the world moved to the US, very very few return to their roots because they have far better lives in the USA which is literally a nation of migrants.

I don’t like or agree with Trump but his policies appeal to a growing number of voters over there

Davidhs, There is more to Trump's policies than just immigration and three of these women were born in the US.

Yes, he has supporters, but his policies only play well with half the electorate, Hilary Clinton actually got more votes than him in the last presidential election and his support is gently eroding, not gently building.

He will win the next Presidential election, but more because there is still no credible front runner among the Democrats, rather than that he has built up his support.

If a Democrat does come through and gain the popular support, like Obama, they could beat Trump.

There are very many Republican supporters who agree with every word that Trump says and the more the Democrats shout and scream the better Trump likes it. His America first attitude plays well with voters, including many of those with second generation Hispanic and Black origins - they don’t want more migrants either.

It is strange to us having such a right wing confrontational agenda, nationalism wins him votes, it’s the same for Putin in Russia, is Boris hoping for the same!.

Ah but Trump is white, well orange.

Everyone living in the US, except the descendants of those living there when the first Europeans arrived, is an immigrant. Donald Trump's mother was a Scot. Should we send him back to the drug infested country with more drug deaths than any other developed country that he comes from? OK he was born in the US, but his mother wasn't. Much like the Congress women he criticised.

All these women are on the left wing of the Democratic party, described as 'Progressives' in the US, which in British terms means they would be Lib Dems rather than Labour supporters. Their campaign causes are ones we take for granted. Free or very cheap medical care for all, a living minimum wage and an end of a punitive immigration service and the shocking conditions many detainees are kept in. -so little access to water they were told to drink water from the toilets.

You do not have to come from a non-white background to be an immigrant, nor to come from a crime-ridden, drug infested country. There are European countries that get close to that description.

Here here Eloethan

This applies everywhere - especially here where in the fraudulent referendum of 2016 a small number of the voters believed lies and got us into this present mess. It was not their fault, but the fault of the Leave Liars. We should not let them get away with continuing to say this is the "will of the people".

Opinion polls have consistently shown a Remain majority for more than two years as folk have woken up to the truth that any kind of brexit would irrevocably damage our country.

I agree Gill57. Just because a lot of people voted for him doesn't make everything he says or does OK. There have been several dreadful leaders that people have voted in - leaders who have encouraged racism, murder and even genocide. Because they were supported by the majority doesn't automatically make the majority right or the leader deserving of respect.

Jennifereccles do you not know that it is the duty of opposition politicians in any democratic country to criticise the government and hold it to account?

Jennifereccles. look it up. He, Trump, made ghastly remarks about four elected representatives. They were female, non white, democrats. Don't, please, take Trump's comments as being an indication of what is right or appropriate. Day6 I stick by my statement about Trump's follower; have you seen the rallies? Frightening examples of baying crowds of supporters rallying behind the sexist pig standing on the stage. Would any of you people who think he is great like to work for him? Like your daughter to work for a man like that? What about if your daughter or grandaughter came home from work and said she had been groped or told to 'go back to where she came from', would you tell them it was acceptable? I truly hope not, so why is it acceptable for him to say or do these grossly unacceptable things to other people's daughters or grandaughters? Accept it people, he is vile, unacceptable, inexcusable and the fact that many people voted for him does not change this
