Trump gets truly brutal: Forces Nancy Pelosi to defend the very leftists trying to oust her
By Monica Showalter
At first glance, it looked like maybe a blunder, some political overplaying of the hand, the Sunday move by President Trump that could finally make the internally warring Democrats circle their fractious wagons and unite. It certainly was politically risky.
Trump tweeted out this string of comments:

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......

So sad to see the Democrats sticking up for people who speak so badly of our Country and who, in addition, hate Israel with a true and unbridled passion. Whenever confronted, they call their adversaries, including Nancy Pelosi, “RACIST.” Their disgusting language.....

Trump was horning in on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's public catfight with four far-left fellow Democratic representatives after one of them, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, was last seen calling Pelosi racist. Pelosi had merely told the "squad" to keep their internal party disagreements with others on the inside. They ignored that and whipped out the race card, signaling that Pelosi is powerless, and they were trying to take her down.
Trump not only defended Pelosi as a non-racist, which must have given Pelosi heartburn — the work of a master troll, as Thomas Lifson put it earlier...but dug the knife in further. This one was savage.
He made a series of outrageous tweets called on Pelosi's own "squad" to go back to the countries they came from.
There was the kind of stuff Democrats live to react to — starting with its careless elements, which he probably wanted to be careless, in order to get them to spend their time hollering about a nothingburger. Only one of the "squad" members Trump cited actually comes from another country, Somalia, so it wasn't really an accurate statement except in Rep. Ilhan Omar's case.
But it didn't matter: he managed to get them and their press allies spending their yelling on that.
Second, he took on the politically correct idea that in polite society, one is never supposed to tell a foreigner to go back where he came from. He tramped on that, too. The Democrats reacted wildly to that one: "THIS is what racism looks like," tweeted Ayanna Pressley, who then went on to deploy a string of boring slogans dating from the Obama era. "WE are what democracy looks like. And we're not going anywhere. Except back to DC to fight for the families you marginalize and vilify everyday [sic]." Been there, heard that.
Trump's tweets did have an electoral politics nexus — plenty of working-class people sought by Democrats for votes speak and think this way, and these tweets and the Democrats' outraged responses put them all on record for the voters.
But more important, his measure was aimed at Pelosi herself, forcing her to defend the very people who up until now have been trying to politically kill her. Pelosi prissily called Trump's tweets "xenophobic," and the press dutifully reported that narrative, clutching pearls.
But what we are seeing now is Democrats ganging up in Pelosi and blaming her for the whole Trump tweet string. They're emboldened. They aren't blaming Trump for this; they know Trump. They are using Trump's tweets to intensify their fire on Pelosi. And Trump knows this. It's likely he planned it this way. Just look what's going on among the leftists on Twitter:

Dear @SpeakerPelosi:
The pressure is mounting and you have a choice: You can listen to the people and start whipping up the votes for an impeachment inquiry or you can abdicate your constitutional duty and be remembered as the Speaker who let Trump off the hook. Choose wisely.

Effectively, he's gotten them to turn on Pelosi, a brutally hardball "cut your head off" politician who has thwarted his agenda again and again. He's gutting her, forcing her to defend people who are trying to knock her out and, in the process, watching as they increase their power and come up with every more outrageous demands.
That's hardball. Trump knows what he is doing, very well, creating chaos on a prissily creepy power structure built on political correctness. He's thrown a spanner in their works, and Pelosi doesn't even know it. Now her Democratic enemies are becoming more powerful, circling her, preparing for the kill. As for Trump, there really wasn't that much political risk for him in it, given the number of voters who despise Rep. Ilhan Omar, now known as "Miss Nine Percent." Risk of annoying voters, yes, but Trump is not afraid of risk. He's calculating what he can get from knocking out Pelosi and what he could lose by turning off some voters, and calculating that the better deal is to debilitate Pelosi. That's real power. Trump is demonstrating in an ingenious way how to use it.
I have serious doubts you could maintain a serious relationship past a few months if that. The fact you seem to idolize Trump and his lifestyle tells me a lot about your lack of character.
Trump to Pelosi:
Pelosi has only been Speaker for six months. This is like a rookie NFL coach who gets fired after the first five games.
Here's what you guys don't get. We do not idolize Trump and his lifestyle---rather, we love the pro-American things he is doing to save the country. The Left will never understand that --or maybe they do and just can't stand it.
Oh my God...guys please pull up all the quotes where these guys are practically sucking Trump's dick....
You cannot be that ignorant about her...she is not a rookie Speaker of the house...she was Speaker for 4 years until Dems lost the majority. Not the same thing at all like a rookie NFL coach who never coached in the NFL at all.
This is why we can't have nice things. Cowardly republicans race to undercut Trump as he singlehandedly destroys dem party.

Member of Senate GOP leadership says Trump tweets are racist
Senate Republican Conference Vice Chairwoman Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) said Monday that she thinks President Trump’s tweets suggesting that minority Democratic lawmakers “go back” to the countries they came from was racist.
Ernst was pressed by reporters about Trump’s tweets from the weekend when she walked into a weekly leadership meeting in Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) office.
Asked if she thought Trump’s comments were specifically racist, Ernst acknowledged, “Yeah, I do."

And of course failed presidential candidate Mitt Romney had to pile on.
Mitt Romney: Trump’s ‘Go Back’ Comments ‘Destructive,’ Has ‘Failed Badly’ at Uniting U.S.
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) said Monday that President Donald Trump’s challenge to far-left Congresswomen to leave the United States was “destructive” and argued the president has “failed badly” at uniting the country.
“The president’s comments were destructive, demeaning, and disunifying. The President of the United States has a unique and noble calling to unite the American people – of all different races, colors, and national origins. In that respect, the president failed badly,” Romney wrote on Twitter Monday evening.

Yeah, whatever Mitt. We get it that you're keen to take over the John McCain anti-republican media favorite role. Good luck with that, seriously.
