FAREED ZAKARIA, CNN HOST: Well, what's striking is the president's defense now is that this is not racist because all he is saying that these Congresswomen are radicals who hate America and constantly criticize it. And what is striking to me about that is the 2016 campaign, Donald Trump was singular, almost unique as a presidential candidate in just constantly trashing America. Donald Trump's message during the 2016 campaign was America is a terrible place.We're losing out to everybody. Everybody's treating us badly. His inaugural address talked about American carnage. The rally he's at in Greenville that he's holding where he's talking about these things is still called "Make America Great Again" meaning we're still not great.
So he's allowed to do that. And what that tells you, Don, is it's okay for white men to criticize America. But if you're a young black woman with a funny name or a young brown woman with a funny name, shut up and stand in line. That seems to be the message...
One of the things that we have come to realize I think in the last ten years is that when people feel anxious for a number of reasons, some of it economic, they go to a place of cultural anxiety. And that the person -- and this is true in Europe, this is true in the United States, the person who can -- who can in some way reassure them, you know, about that country, that's why his slogan is 'Make America Great Again.'
'I'm going to take you back to this world before there were these uppity women, before there were these people of color telling you what's wrong with the country.'

Only a dumb, freak like Zakaria could think that what Trump was saying during the campaign was trashing the country. The Left lives in it’s own world of fantasy with their own facts and zero reality.
Prez was not criticizing country he was criticzing dem policies. Nobody that worjs at cnn can understand this
No wonder Zero Obowma loved this guy.
