Trump voters cringe and shrug at tweets while Democrats rage

HELENVILLE, Wis. (AP) — Bill Brasch greeted President Donald Trump's latest tweet controversy with a shrug.

He doesn't believe Trump was being racist for telling four congresswomen, all women of color, to "go back" to the countries they came from. It doesn't matter much that all four of the women are American citizens, Brasch said the uproar over Trump's tweet is a distraction and his detractors are "just playing politics."

"I look at what he's accomplished and not what he says," the 58-year-old said during a lunch break at the Wingin' It bar in this pocket of rural Wisconsin.

Far to the southeast, Maria Masferrer saw Trump's attack as "totally out of place." The 20-year-old college student at Florida International University in Miami is a new citizen. Trump's rhetoric was personal — and disqualifying.

"Why would I vote for someone that wants to kick me out?" she said.

Look at what he's accomplished? He's made racists like you feel right at home.
