Praising 73-year-old President Donald Trump for his July 14 “go back” comments to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-.N.Y.), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), Brexit founder Nigel Frage called Trump a “genius.” Vilified in the U.S. press as “racist,” Trump’s comments were taken out of context, when the president was saying if the four freshman Congresswoman are so unhappy in the U.S., they should go back to their countries of origin and do something constructive. What the press doesn’t say is that all three Congresswoman call for Trump’s impeachment, believing, without a shred of proof, that he committed high-rimes-and-misdemeanors. “Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came,” Trump. Trump’s remarks sparked outrage in the U.S. press.
Trump knew that three-of-the-four Congresswomen were born in the United States, despite having family ties in Somalia, Puerto Rico, and Palestine. Pressley is a black citizen hailing from Massachusetts. No one in the press talks about the fact that all four Congresswomen call for Trump’s impeachment without evidence of high-crimes-and-misdemeanors. When Special Counsel Robert Mueller said in his March 22 final report that neither Trump nor anyone in his campaign conspired with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election, Democrats doubled down making up their own charges without evidence. Democrats held onto Mueller’s statement that he could not “exonerate” Trump, despite the fact that it’s not the role of the Special Counsel to exonerate anyone. Proper Department of Justice Protocol requires federal prosecutors to make “declination” decisions when there’s no evidence.
Omar, Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib and Pressley insist Trump committed obstruction of justice because there were rumors that he asked his legal counsel Don McGahan to fire Mueller. “I thought, ‘Dear, oh dear.’ You realize , 48 hours on, it was genius because what’s happened is the Democrats gather round the Squad, which him to say,’ Oh look, the Squad are the center of the Democratic Party,” Farage said. Farage credits Trump’s strong backing in 2016 for the Brexit voter where 52% of the British public voted June 23, 2916 to exit the European Union. Farage—who has his detractors—sees Trump at masterfully playing the U.S. media, leaving most journalists bullied into accepting the Brexit deal. Former Prime Minister Theresa May lost her job over getting a satisfactory Brexit deal from the EU. Replaces by former U.K. Foreign Minister Boris Johnson, Farage has more power than ever.
Farage called Trump a genius because he thinks he shifted the media to the “Quad-Squad” calling the shots in the Democrat Party. While House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) believe impeachment would backfire on Democrats, the “Quad-Squad” think s only good for the Democrat Party would happen. “He’s remarkably good at what he does,” Farage said, speaking about Trump. “He [Trump] does things his way. But he is a remarkably effective operator,” Farage said, encouraging Johnson to follow in Trump’s footsteps. Trump’s “go back” remarks gave Democrats their talking points heading into the 2020 presidential election, saying Trump was a racist. But if you put Trump’s comments in context, knowing the Quad-Squad wants Trump impeached, you’d realize his remarks were much less about racism and much more payback for pushing impeachment.
Labor Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn said Trump’s remarks were “racist,” pointing fingers at Farage and newly minted Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Corbyn would like nothing more than to see Johnson fail so that the Parliament could call new elections to offer himself as Prime Minister. Corbyn’s so reviled in the Tory Party, they’d paralyze government rather that accept the Labor Party leader. Ukip [Britain’s Independent Party] Party Leader Nigel Farage has many common ties to Johnson and the Tory Party, opposes any attempt by Corbyn to become Prime Minister. Back in 2016, Farage tapped in to British resentment of Arab and North African immigrants, especially in the years after the 2005 London Underground bombing July 7, 2005. After the June 3, 2017 London Bridge truck-ramming terror attack, Londoners were less tolerant of Mideast and North African f refugees.
Trump’s “go back” remarks sparks the same kind of outrage in London. Recent terror attacks on the London Bridge June 7, 2017 reminded voters that foreigners have caused more problems in the U.K. much like the United States. Farage is one of Trump’s biggest fans in the U.K., having played a role in Trump’s 2016 election. When the Brexit frenzy was in full swing in 2016, Farage rose in his stature in U.K. politics. Democrats were up in arms, asking for Trump’s impeachment after his “go back” remarks. Trump wanted to get back at the Quad-Squad backing Trump’s impeachment, regardless of the facts. When Trump calls on the Quad-Squad to “go back,” Trump’s really saying he wants the Congresswomen to stop calling for his impeachment. There’s nothing racist about Trump calling out vociferous Congresswomen calling for his impeachment without evidence of high-crimes-and-misdemeanors.
