No, he would not. There are plenty of foreign-born white congresspeople who have said negative things about Trump and he has not told them to leave. He told Colin Kaepernick to leave, but not Megan Rapinoe. He's racist, you guys.

He didn't tell John McCain, who was born on foreign soil, to go back to where he came from. He didn't tell it to Jeff Sessions, who he had plenty to say about. He didn't tell it to John Kelly or Rex Tillerson who had said negative things about him. Didn't say it to Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Paul Ryan, Jeff Flake, Jeff Bezos, or any white man who has criticized him. Make no mistake, he's had plenty to say about all of them, but never once has he told them to go back where they came from.
I notice she opted not to answer your question. Shock.

Such simplistic minds, these Trump supporters. Funny how you’re not very supportive of people who do just that, lol. How would you feel if you hated the way things were done in America, tried to leave only to have your ass shipped back because your chosen country thinks you’re disgusting?

People were told they should leave if they didn’t like Obama’s policies ALL.THE.TIME.
A lot of people said if Bush was elected they’d leave. If Trump was elected they’d leave. Most, if not all, are still here.
If I go somewhere and I don’t like it then I don’t stick around complaining and saying how bad and unfair things are, I remove myself if possible.
Bottom line is, she asked if anyone thought President Trump would say the same thing to a white person. I answered that I thought he would.

In fact, is now disagreeing with Trump equal to “bitching about America”? So why didn’t all those who were against Obama’s policy leave the country then? We’re they “hating America” because they disagreed with Obama?

I guess the whole “if you don’t like it, just leave” idea also just applies to those who deserve a better life. Not to those from what Trump calls “shithole” countries.
I’ve read comments from the same people now supporting Trump’s comment saying that those people who come from poor and violent countries should go back and try to fix their countries.
So... if it’s America and you don’t like it, don’t you dare try to fix it, just leave.
But if it’s Honduras and you don’t like it, don’t leave, stay there where you belong and try to fix it

Maybe that was because I just now saw it. I have a life and don’t spend all my time here.
I also took her question as rhetorical and not necessarily in need of an answer. Apparently I have a “simplistic mind” so I am sure nothing I say will be taken seriously.
Thank you so much for your concern.

When Obama was president Trump called our country a laughingstock and mocked American exceptionalism. Trump claimed Putin was a much better leader than Obama.
But did democrats tell Trump if he hated America so much maybe he should move to Russia?

No. He has argued with his white peers and hasn’t said that. And the wall won’t keep out illegal Europeans. This is how his racism comes out.
Good points.
I’m pretty sure Democrats didn’t tell him to leave.
