Another of your staples - the lazy one-liner!

If you think Trump donating a completely insignificant amount of money (relative to his wealth), which he actually promised to do on his campaign trail (if he was doing it out of benevolence, why tell anyone?) isn't self-serving then I don't know what to tell you... 

People are being intentionally obtuse when it comes to these Trump tweets. If it was an attack on progressivism why not Bernie or Warren, if it was an attack on democrats as a whole why not pelosi or Schumer? If the tweet wasn't meant to be at least vaguely racist or xenophobic then why would he use a traditionally xenophobic talking point when talking about 4 progressive women of colour? Out of all the potential targets and all of the ways he could have framed the argument why else would he go about it in this way

White people are told to go back to their country. I've seen it happen a few times. But that isn't racist it's just mean.

You're just jumping to conclusions since the people were brown and black. The statement itself of telling someone to go back to their country to help fix it in general isn't racist. Now if someone said you're black or brown and don't belong here then go back to your country than that would be racist.

Why does their race matter? The comment is still pretty mean in general.

The pocket change I give to homeless sometimes is a tiny amount compared to what I make but it might mean the world to them.

It probably doesn't but I am sure if you believe that, it means all the world to you more than them.  I am sure a person who doesn't actually put any time helping a homeless person get back on their feet probably would think that.

But if you ignore all logic and reason you can kind of twist it into something not racist, and really that is all it takes for me these days.

Charity can still be selfish even if it means helping someone else. Not everything is a zero sum game (despite Trump's apparent beliefs). If you are giving in order to benefit yourself (for example, from all of the people who rush to your aid and say "Yeah, but he donated to charity"), it can still be selfish.

As a bit of a side note, here is a bit from the bible:

⁴¹ Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. ⁴² But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.

⁴³ Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. ⁴⁴ They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”

You are correct, its not racism, its prejudice and it's just as prevalent and destructive as racism.  No matter how much you sugar coat what Trump said, mean is the least of it.  What that statement shows is his true thought process and how he think about people of color.  It's a statement hate groups have used on countless times throughout the years and its something people of color are very familiar hearing from such people.  The fact that it slipped out of Trump tweeting fingers is just another insight into who he really is.

One good thing about Trump is when he make these foolish slip ups, he will never back down and double down on his statement.  I cannot wait to seem him continue to sink into another dumb tweet showing the world again how much of an idiot he can be.  I believe I will go and purchase some popcorn, this should be entertaining for at least a week.

How is that relevant in proving Trump isn't self-serving?

Ya'll are the ones bringing up their race. Yeah the tweet is bad but Trump tweets bad things to people he does not like or people that come after him it's just how he operates. The progressives could have been white and he would have tweeted something nasty too.
