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?

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.

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?

>What blind, ignorant skepticism? Not sure what you're getting at.

It is a misrepresentation. Can you prove to me that it isn't?
@bolded: If that's true then you're being very hypocritical and no one in their right mind should put any stock in what you say regarding politics. You work of the assumption that he isn't talking about "the squad", Occam's razor would conclude that he is, not to mention with just basic common sense you'd come up with that conclusion. You also work under the assumption that Trump wouldn't immediately correct who he was referring to if everybody got it wrong. He would and he would cry "fake news." You're doing a lot of assumptions with no real proof, prove to me he wasn't talking about them.
