President Donald Trump was on the receiving end on Sunday following a tweet perceived to be 'racist or xenophobic' on three US Congresswomen.
A furious Trump asked the three Congresswomen 'to go back to their countries and help fix the situation' before lecturing United States of America leadership.
"So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly.....," said Trump
He added: ".....and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how...."
IIhan Omar of Minnesota, Alexandria Ocasio of New York and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan have been putting Trump under pressure over his foreign policy and border regulations, something that has angered the president.
While Ms Omar was born in Somalia, she grew up in Kenya before seeking asylum in US. Ms Ocasio on her part, she was born in Puerto Rico before moving to the New York.
"Mr. President,As Members of Congress, the only country we swear an oath to is the United States. Which is why we are fighting to protect it from the worst, most corrupt and inept president we have ever seen," said Omar.
"Mr. President, the country I “come from,” & the country we all swear to, is the United States.But given how you’ve destroyed our border with inhumane camps, all at a benefit to you & the corps who profit off them, you are absolutely right about the corruption laid at your feet," added Ocasio.
On her part, Ms Tlaib, who had Palestine background, termed Trump as a failure adding that he has a dangerous ideology and should be impeached.
"Want a response to a lawless & complete failure of a President?He is the crisis. His dangerous ideology is the crisis. He needs to be impeached," she said.
The three have been vocal on Trump's foreign policy and have often questioned his alleged hatred to Muslims and Palestinians. The president is struggling to contain Democrats ahead of 2022 polls.
