Trump’s racism stance: Congresswomen hit back in his race row
Four congresswomen (all coloured people) attacked by President Trump in a series of tweets have dismissed his comments. Ayanna Pressley, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib said the tweets were a distraction from their criticism of the president’s border control policy.
‘Go back’? Trump’s grandfather’s German hometown has a different message for the U.S. president
BERLIN — When it became clear Donald Trump would be the Republican nominee for president in 2016, the German village of Kallstadt suddenly became a destination for journalists and tourists curious about the unlikely candidate’s roots.
Trump’s grandfather had been born there and migrated to the United States in search of opportunity. Many of the 1,200 residents of the town, uncomfortable with the spotlight and the populist rhetoric Trump espoused, wished the eventual American president would forget about their quiet corner in Germany.
Now, in the aftermath of Trump urging four Democratic congresswomen to “go back” to the “crime infested places from which they came,” some in this once economically depressed town are urging the U.S. president to remember where his own family came from.
