Edit

On Minnesota, Trump criticises the “mass import” of foreign cultures, citing Somalia. He then hits out at “fake congressperson” Ilhan Omar, criticising her for “telling us how to run America”

Surely projection, since his father grew up speaking German. The “Drumpf” liberal meme is silly but it is worth noting that Trump is very much a second generation immigrant. I am sure some of his cartoonish American chauvinism is due to being raised in a household headed by an embarrassed German immigrant.

raised in a household headed by an embarrassed German immigrant.

How could I overlook that basic thing? For Trump shame and embarrassment - on his terms of course - are fundamental for his POV and in how he acts.
