7:05Now PlayingDuring a speech on Monday, Donald Trump doubled down on his xenophobic comments about “The Squad,” going even further in his attacks on Ilhan Omar. He linked the Congresswoman to extremist groups and claimed that she hates members of certain religions, which isn’t rooted in reality at all. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains how this latest speech proves that the President is not mentally stable and must be removed from office now.

During his little press conference yesterday, of course, after telling us that if we don't like America, we need to go home and pack a suitcase and get the hell out. Donald Trump's little speech took an even worse turn, if you can imagine. Here it is.
"I guess some people will. One of them is polling... One of them is polling at 8... One of them is polling at 8%. So one of them is polling at 8%. So when I hear people speaking about how wonderful Al-Qaeda is. When I hear people talking about some people, some people with the world trade show, some people, not, some people, much more than some people. When I hear the statements that they've made, and in one case you have somebody that comes from Somalia, which is a failed government, a failed state, who left Somalia, who ultimately came here and now is a congress woman who's never happy, says horrible things about Israel, hates Israel, hates Jews, hates Jews. It's very simple. And if the Democrats want to wrap their bows around this group of four people. One of them kept Amazon out of New York. Tens of thousands of job would have been a great thing. And she kept Amazon from going. Would've been a good deal. I mean, could he have made better? Maybe, but tens of thousands of jobs and New York has not been the same since that happened. It's really hurt New York and New York City. Amazon was going to go there. We're going to relocate a major section of their business in New York. She kept him out. That was a terrible thing she did. A terrible things she did. So here's the story. Here's the story. I see them complaining. They're complaining constantly..."
So let's start with the first part of that. Donald Trump talking about Ilhan Omar saying that she actually loves Al-Qaeda and that she hates Jews. "She hates Jews." Those are the words he used, "She hates Jews." Hates Jews. That is inflammatory. That is completely false. And statements like that, you know, along with the she praises Al-Qaeda. Uh, those statements are designed to get people hurt. That is Trump's goal. Here I am 100% convinced of that. He has put representative Omar's life in danger and he knows it and he's happy about that. Yeah. We have already seen these women, you know, representatives, Omar, Ocasio-Cortez, Pressley, Tlaib. They all to a degree have had to kind of ramp up their security. They have had to go through special training, they are getting death threats and when the president comes out and makes these false and derogatory statements about them, all that does is amplify those voices who wished to silence these women forever. Presidents not playing four dimensional chess here, trying to say, watch me get Democrats to defend these women. Know what he's doing is trying to silence his critics by any means necessary because these are powerful women. These are smart women. These are women who have already made more of a difference than most members of Congress could ever hope to in their 30 year career.
