With the continuing pressure of an impeachment inquiry underway and the never ending flow of damning and controversial news, President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Saturday with a racist and anti-Semitic rant.

In one tweet, Trump singled out members of Congress Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), who are both Jewish, and “AOC Plus 3,” referring to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and three other congresswomen who are all women of color, calling them “savages.”

“Can you imagine if these Do Nothing Democrat Savages, people like Nadler, Schiff, AOC Plus 3, and many more, had a Republican Party who would have done to Obama what the Do Nothings are doing to me. Oh well, maybe next time!” the president tweeted.

Journalists and presidential candidates alike reacted on Twitter, pointing out the bigotry contained in the president’s rant.

Snip

After the bigoted tweet, Trump then sent out off three rapid-fire all caps tweets, all within a minute of each other. In the first, he framed himself as the victim: “PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT!” And then he tweeted his original campaign slogan: “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” followed by his imaginative new slogan: “KEEP AMERICA GREAT!”

PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT!

5. I don't see anti-semitism or racism,just

Rolling Stone doing what it always does,creating controversy. Trump insults everyone.

[blue neen]

6. So, that's the latest excuse for his disgusting comments?

He does it to everyone? Baloney. He's openly picking on people that his "base" would approve of.

Nice strawman. Point the blame at Rolling Stone.

7. His comments are insulting but he is

an equal opportunity insulter.

9. Targeting six people out of a couple hundred is pretty obvious.

Particularly while calling them "savages", a word that has a blatantly obvious racial history.

Rather odd that you blame Rolling Stone. They're not the only media outlet who reported on this or noted the makeup of the target group.

8. He is so pathetic

He has all the power in the world and he's whining about harassment.

He is sad and pathetic

10. Typical narcissist

They can keep their mouth shut when they are cornered, they have to lash out at everyone else, and try and put the blame on others by lying about everything. In trumps case he can't just let it go, his ego won't allow that, and his continues tweets will be his downfall.
