So did Trump blow it by implicitly telling Rep. Ilhan Omar to go back to her home country, fix it up, and get back to us? Did he overplay his hand? Is a remark like that, universally decried by Democrats, a step too far? Not by Trump's standards. The controversial string of tweets, which stirred the pot mightily in the press, was as politically incorrect as it comes. In fact, Trump hasn't put out a string like this since the 2016 campaign......
It's telling that even as Pelosi spars with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Trump took on Ocasio-Cortez's pal, Rep. Ilhan Omar, the only one who comes from a foreign country.
Omar, it turns out, is a massive liability for the Democrats. Making her the face of the Democrats is a pretty good way of triggering a GOP landslide, not just in the White House, but in the House of Representatives. Among the working-class voters Democrats must win over to win the presidency, and, for that matter, both houses of Congress, Omar sports an abysmal 9% approval rating along with a 53% recognition rate. She's the most unpopular of all of them. According to the Daily Wire:

The mass media is trying to play The race card on this. But really this is about anti USA culture. These people arriving for political positions, or citizenship.
I would help her pack.
“Omar hates America and Americans, she SHOULD go back to her beloved Somalia.”
Yes, I’ve heard her talk about how things were better in Somalia. Everybody there agrees with everything she says and they all think the same, unlike nasty old America where people think independently and sometimes disagree with what she has to say. She really doesn’t belong here.
Actually, it was GHW Bush that started the Somali invasion.
I’m glad he said what he said. AOC is the most annoying, but her pals Omar and Tlaib are the most immediately dangerous to the US. Did you know that the Muslims in the country of Turkey have begun organizing fund raising for Omar?
She and Tlaib are their newly appointed portals (aka Trojan Horses) into the US Congress. They plan to extend their influence in how our country is run.
Your analysis is well .... stupid.
His stock went up in my opinion.
He said they should go back to their countries of origin, fix them, then come back and show us how it’s done.
I’m sick of watching the media distort what he says. Even FOX. If FOX continues to hire people who are too lazy to read the actual Tweet, or have no reading comprehension, then perhaps FOX ought to send THEM back to the towns they came from, because they are not up to national standards. The media compounds ignorance and it’s embarrassing to watch.
This tactic of ungrateful immigrant shaming may be the only way to get the forgotten wage earner to the polls. The worthless GOP is determined to remain the no tariff, no wall funding, h-1B visa loving Jarvanka party.
Yes, him too
Oh, please. President Trump said what he meant and he meant what he said. And he is absolutely correct. There’s no reason to attempt to minimize or soften his words. He has nothing to apologize for.
Rhetorical question - why would Obama make a point of bringing Somalis into the USA?
I have been under the impression it was Bush who brought in the majority of them.

In before the “I usually like Trump’s tweets, but...”
They’ve dispensed with the “I wish Trump would stop tweeting.”
Not with me, he didn’t. In fact, there should be some mechanism for shipping their nasty butts back to wherever they came from. And in this age of virtually uncontrolled border crossing, there need to be loyalty and allegiance tests beyond acquired “citizenship” to run for office.
Articulate as ever.
The majority of Omar’s votes came from white Minnesotans born in the USA. It’s not their IQ that’s a problem. They choose evil.
His goal was to make the dems and their media puppetmasters to rally around the obvious America and American hating-crowd within the dem party forcing them to expose who and what they are. He accomplished that.
Politically stupid as ever.
“America - A country so great that even her haters won’t leave.”
