President Donald Trump stood by his comments on July 15 by telling progressive Democratic Congresswomen who have been bad-mouthing the United States to leave the country if they are not happy here.

“If you’re not happy here, then you can leave. As far as I’m concerned, if you hate our country, if you’re not happy here you can leave. And that’s what I say all the time,” Trump told reporters while responding to questions during the “Made in America” event at the White House.
