Donald Trump has claimed he doesn't "have a racist bone" in his body – despite telling four opponents they can "go home" in a shocking Twitter attack.

The President said four prominent Democrats "originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe".

Although he didn't name them in last weeks' attack, he was referring to Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – collectively known as The Squad.
