In a recent tweet, the President chided 4 members of Congress, all Democrats, to (paraphrasing): Go back to the shit hole countries you came from.
One of the four included Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, 14th District, who was BORN in the district, which is IN part of the area she represents, i.e. THE BRONX. The other district is QUEENS.
Now, I have family who lived in the Bronx. I also teach at Fordham University that is located at its heart. So, I have some knowledge, and feeling, for what this Borough is about. It is SO unique, SO diverse, that if your not from here, you just might see it as a foreign country! Or, you just might be a bigot, racist, or both.
But, it's NOT.
IT IS AMERICA. The best that America has to offer. It gives opportunity to millions in the best tradition that is, or WAS, America. Does it have mean streets. Oh, you betcha'! (that's for my mid-Western readers). But, it's also beautiful because it has true heart and soul. It IS America.
'Merica. Trump's 'Merica.
