Specifically, Trump asserted that the progressive Democratic congresswomen who’d been giving Pelosi such a hard time “originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world ,” and therefore, instead of “viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run,” they should “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested...
These hideous sentiments displaced the Democrats’ civil war from Monday morning’s headlines. In fact, the Washington Post declared that Trump’s tweets had “swiftly united a House Democratic caucus that had been torn apart in recent days by infighting.” Various other outlets affirmed this use of the past tense. “Democrats in disarray” literally became yesterday’s news.
