Trump says victims of his racist tweets should apologize to him

Donald Trump suggested to Congress women who had been the target of a series of racist tweets that he posted to apologize to the "Office of the President."

So many people are angry with them and their actions horrible and disgusting! "

He followed 48 minutes later adding, "If the Democrats want to unite around the vulgar language and racist hatred spewed by the mouths and actions of these very unpopular and unrepresentative Congress women, it will be interesting to see how that will unfold.
