Democrats condemn Trump's tweet against four women lawmakers as 'racist'

International News

The Democratic party, which has a majority in the House of Representatives, introduced a resolution on Monday condemning the tweets of US President Donald Trump against four of their women lawmakers as "racist".
The opposition leaders and the president continued to clash over the issue that has caught the national attention for the past few days.
"The Dems were trying to distance themselves from the four "progressives," but now they are forced to embrace them. That means they are endorsing Socialism, hate of Israel and the USA! Not good for the Democrats" Trump said as he unleashed a series of tweets against four Democratic Congresswomen.
Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley held a news conference at the Capitol to denounce a tweet by the president in which he apparently suggested that they leave.
"This is a president who has overseen the most corrupt administration in our history," Omar said.
"To distract from that, he's launching a blatantly racist attack on four duly elected members of the United States House of Representatives, all of whom are women of colour," she said. "This is the agenda of white nationalists, whether it is happening in chat rooms or it's happening on national TV. And now it's reached the White House garden."

 Trump had in a tweet, which was widely considered as against these four Democratic progressive lawmakers, said they should "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came" before speaking out about how the United States government should be run...Read More

I blame past presidents for allowing other nations to steal US jobs: Trump

US President Donald Trump alleged on Monday that previous administrations allowed foreign countries to steal jobs and plunder its wealth.
"Today, American manufacturers are contributing $250 billion more to our economy than they contributed before this great election that took place in 2016," Trump said at the White House. "We're heeding the wisdom of our Founding Fathers by restoring our economic independence and reawakening our industrial might."
In his address to the "Made in America" event at the White House, Trump said: "They stole our wealth. They stole so much, and it was allowed to go on so long. But it's not going on any longer."
The president also pointed out to China's lowest level of GDP growth in nearly three decades.
"You take a look at what's happening. Look at today's front page in the Wall Street Journal. You'll see where China has had its worst year in 27 years," he said.
"I'm not looking for that. But we had a deal with China and they decided not to make that deal. They said, 'Let's renegotiate'. I said, 'No, thank you'. And we put very big tariffs on China," he added amidst applause from the audience.
The United States under him, Trump said, was taking the toughest-ever action to confront China's "chronic trade abuse".

 "They were doing numbers on us for many years. I watched sleepy Joe Biden the other day talking about China: 'We would fight China on trade'."Well, he didn't do it for -- he's been there for like 45 years. And he didn't do it in eight years because they ate our lunch during the Obama administration," Trump said...Read More
