United States president Donald Trump has called on people criticizing his government to leave if they are not happy with the country.

Trump had over the weekend attacked lawmakers on Twitter, saying they should not tell Americans how to run the country.

The lawmakers were not named but are largely believed to be Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib. Only Omar is foreign-born.

Earlier in the day, Donald Trump fired another round of shots at unnamed Democratic congresswomen for spewing racist hatred that has made Israel feel abandoned by the United States.

“When will the Radical Left Congresswomen apologize to our Country, the people of Israel and even to the Office of the President, for the foul language they have used, and the terrible things they have said.

So many people are angry at them & their horrible & disgusting actions!” the president wrote.

“As far as I’m concerned if you hate our country, if you’re not happy here, you can leave,” Trump said at an event at the White House.

“If you’re not happy in the US, if you’re complaining all the time, very simply: you can leave,” he said “You can leave right now. I don’t know who’s going to miss ‘them.”

The president also added that he is not concerned if people think his tweets are racist.

Over the weekend, Donald Trump stated via Twitter that a group of “progressive” Democrat congresswomen – believed to be Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib – should go back to the “broken and crime infested” countries from where they “came from.”

He also wrote that those who are “loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States […] how our government is to be run should not tell Americans how to run the country”.

Meanwhile, Democrats denounced Trump’s tweet as racist and xenophobic.
