I haven’t been following this Squad. Are they all blacks?
At any rate, I do feel that the trump statement was xenophobic because he didn’t say anything about their families’ country of origin. It may have been racist if he wouldn’t say it to me or other white people. He wanted to send Americans (racist, crude, miserable, disrespectful, congressional (but I repeat myself) Americans) back to “their countries.” Might as well send me back to Nazi Germany.
I agree with Trump’s “love it or leave it (or love it and improve it).” But I don’t like the idea of sending Americans back to where their recent ancestors came from. Even unpleasant Americans.
You need to go find out what Trump actually said.
