Trumpworld in Tweets

In Defying the Odds, we discuss Trump's character.  The update  -- recently published --includes a chapter on the 2018 midterms. On Sunday, he told several Democratic congresswomen to "go back" to their countries.

This is one of the single most racist moments in modern American political history. As Trump began attacking my friend Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, the crowd began chanting “SEND HER BACK, SEND HER BACK.” It’s utterly despicable and dangerous. We are here. We are in THAT time. UGLY. pic.twitter.com/6M0PBXe4Lr

Chris Cuomo: "What would you do if the President said, 'I am a racist'?"

Kris Kobach: "Then I would not defend him b/c there's no excuse for racism in America."

Cuomo: "Would you still support him as President?"

Kobach: "Um, I don't know. That'd be a really tough question." pic.twitter.com/628TNfE827

Turns out that the EEOC has an online pamphlet that’s directly on point:https://t.co/nr7sSvLhZz https://t.co/LC6AVTG6zT pic.twitter.com/VbqwGTfnPZ

I’ve tweeted before about growing up in Belfast during the Troubles, and the link between inflammatory rhetoric and violence.

I won’t reprise that tonight.

But it’s grimly, blindingly obvious to me that someone’s going to get hurt or killed between now and Election Day 2020.

President Trump said he "very quickly" stopped the "send her back" chants during Wednesday's rally.

Trump waited 13 seconds, until the chants stopped, to start speaking again.https://t.co/5kdCzXpg4I pic.twitter.com/msRZQMOqSW
