This did not surprise you?
Did I mention that he addressed this remark, made today, to United States Congresswomen who represented people from the United States?
Should they return to their districts? Somehow, I do not think that is what he meant, because he goes on to refer to the foreign countries from which their ancestors hailed, as if he, himself, did not come from a family of GERMAN immigrants.
Are we not all, save the people indigenous to North America, immigrants?

WASHINGTON — President Trump on Sunday weighed in on the friction between a group of four freshman Democratic congresswomen and Speaker Nancy Pelosi: He suggested that the congresswomen — none of whom are white — should 'go back and help fix' the countries they came from. His message was immediately seized upon by Democrats, who called it a racist trope.
'So interesting to see "Progressive" Democrat (sic) 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 and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run,' Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter."
