The U.S President Donald Trump said at an event designed to celebrate the U.S manufacturing. He denied that a series of tweets he had posted over the weekend and on Monday morning had been racist. Trump was asked by a member of the media if it concerned him that many people considered his tweets as raves and that “white nationalist groups are finding common cause with you”. Trump said, “Well I don’t mention, I didn’t mention names and I didn’t do that. But I will tell you with our country and I think everybody in this audience. These are great manufacturers, great workers in our audience too. They brought a lot of their workers here. If you’re not happy here, then you can leave. As far as I’m concerned, if you hate our country, if you’re not happy here you can leave. And that’s what I say all the time. That’s what I said in a tweet which I guess some people think is controversial! a lot of people love it, by the way, lot of people love it.

Trump added, “But if you’re not happy in the US, if you’re complaining all the time, very simply you can leave. You can leave right now. Well, they hate our country. Hey John, they hate our country. They hate it, I think, with a passion. Now it’ possible I’m wrong. The voter will decide. But, when I hear the way they talk about our country, when I hear the anti-semitic language they use, when I hear the hatred they have for Israel and the love they have for enemies like Al-Qaeda. Then you know what, I will tell you that I do not believe this is good for the Democrat party. Certainly, it’s not the party that I’ve known over the years. It is noteworthy that the U.S House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, “The House cannot allow the president’s characterization of immigrants to our country to stand. Our Republican colleagues must join us in condemning the president’s xenophobic tweets”.
