It was in the tweet you claimed to have read.
You either didn't look through it for clarification of who he was referring to as you claimed, or you didn't actually care enough to do a 5 second google search of who the squad is, in spite of constantly asking for the names.

Either way, the mental gymnastics goes for a lot of your replies to people in here. Some of whom got the impression you are just wasting their time by twisting the meaning of anything that isn't spelled out for you, or making unbelievable statements.

You've given the mods no reason to give you the benefit of the doubt. Especially when you reply just to ignore what I said.

Continue this discussion again only if you want to be moderated.

"It was in the tweet you claimed to have read."

>Actually, looking at it further, I don't think these were Trump's words:

Seems more Trump quoting someone else: Louisiana Senator John Kennedy.

"you didn't actually care enough to do a 5 second google search of who the squad is"

>There's the problem: I need to hear it from Trump who he would mean by 'the squad', not from Google. The reason I ask this is because I don't want to misrepresent Trump. Google is not Trump.

That said, I'm curious to know what you made of Trump's original three tweets:

Wow, you don't want to "misrepresent" Trump? Are you okay with Trump misrepresenting the four congressmen, especially Ilhan Omar, in this whole exchange and in this recent tweet?

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1152912995938443269?s=20

Trump quoted the Senator because he agrees with him, the tweet was to illustrate that he knows who "the squad" are and has referenced them on numerous occasions.

Also the other tweet I linked, which was left out for some reason, would show you who the "four Democratic congresswomen" are and who Trump was talking about throughout this entire exchange.

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1151327083110510594?s=09

The only vote they held that day "concerning the statements (he) made about the four Democratic congresswomen" was to formally condemn his tweets as racist towards AOC, Talib, Omar, and Pressley specifically, as well as in general. From that fact and from how Trump himself doesn't correct anybody or yell "fake news!" when they assume he's talking about "the squad", named earlier, you would logically and correctly assume that those "four Democratic congresswomen" are in fact the four named earlier.

EDIT: This is such a ridiculous and petty argument you tried to make about who he's referencing but I'm more interested in why you don't apply that same blind, ignorant skepticism towards Trump in favor of "the squad" as you're doing right now?
