I was born in Oklahoma in 1948. My wife was born in Mexico in 1954. Both of us are citizens of the U.S.
If my wife and I were political opponents, and, after a heated exchange of political views, I told my wife: "America, love it or leave it", she'd laugh at me. But if I told her: "America, love it or go back to where you came from", she'd kick my a**. And I wouldn't expect anything less from her.

No, it's an example of the same thing, was there a difference? if so what was it?

You're a racist, admit it!
That is a lie.

I am well aware of the history of the swastika, the point is people tend to see what they want and need to see for the most part regardless of reality.
Here is the transcript.
President Trump Doubled Down on 'Why Don't They Go Back' Remarks: Read the Transcript
He only directly mentions Ohmar and Somalia.
Later on in the conversation he mentions the 4 which is a reference to the squad. But that was in reference to them being socialist/communist.

Just against psychopaths and sociopaths.
You can’t just pick the part you want and ignore the rest. Maybe he only reference one of the four in that specific comment or that specific sentence. But he did say that all four should go back to the countries they came from.
“So interesting to see 'Progressive' Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst,”
See, countries - plural.
Nope you can read the transcript for yourself. It's just the wishful thinking of anti-trumpers.

To give you what you are asking, even if you never thought of me as being one of them:
I'm racist against the Bible. I love half of the NT, it contains the teachings of Christ and I really think I and others may benefit from them. But as for the rest, it leads to too many questions. A creator created the world and then left it, expecting us to find truth without any guidance save symbolism and parables. That's pretty rude if you ask me.
I'm racist against myself. I can be pretty hard on myself. It's tough knowing that my thoughts run deeper than what I can successfully express using natural language and vocabulary. It's like being in a shell.
I'm racist against others. Why do people when getting to know me, take some of my least deep statements and cling to them, while being quiet when I'm being the most genuine and having nothing to say themselves?
I'm racist against people who come into my life, say they want to be my friend, which I consider a sacred thing, and say they understand how sacred it is when I get obvious readings they don't?

B-b-but what he said after (back peddling) is so much better for my argument...
That phrase is not in the transcript. Sorry.
Who's back peddling?

Trump. He originally said "countries" now he is trying to make it seem like he was only speaking about one "country."
Looking back over that long and ugly history, I think of my grandparents' generation and consider that a lot of people have personal, intimate connections to that history. My grandparents would be considered racist by today's standards, but so would most white people of their generation since that's what they were raised in and that's all they really knew growing up. They weren't malicious or hateful to any degree; they considered themselves honest, hard-working, and decent. But they did say a lot of ignorant and prejudiced things.
And that may be how a lot of people see it these days. When someone says something that's rather dumb, ignorant, and racist, it might make people think of their "crazy uncle" or grandparent at family gatherings who says dumb things like that. They may not think of the long and ugly history, but they might think of some addle-headed family member who's off his meds.
However, I'll concede that when "crazy uncle" becomes President of the United States, then we might have ourselves a situation here.

Oh, you mean actual racism.
It's pretty sickening even in cases where I make the mistake of it.
AOC recently branded Pelosi as racist (towards
her coterie of ethnic congressional newbies).
It seems both sides of the swamp are racist.
