Not a good look for Mr Trump.

It has been a fairly hectic week for the US President, even by Donald Trump's standards. Following his Twitter outburst over the weekend that saw him tell a number of congresswomen to go back where they came from, he has been under even more scrutiny than usual. Add that to the fact that his crowd of supporters chanted "send her back" at Ilhan Omar during a rally, and you'll think that "hectic" is probably putting it lightly. But it doesn't stop there. A video has since emerged of Trump meeting with Iraqi-Yazidi Nobel laureate Nadia Murad on Wednesday, as she pleaded with him to help protect her community from ISIS. She explains that they have killed her family, to which Trump coldly replies: "Where are they now?" "They killed them", replied Murad. He then seems startled that she received the Nobel Prize, and asks her to explain "for what reason" she was given the award for. Shocking stuff. You can watch a video of the extremely awkward interaction here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZW_h-forT8 Clip via Guardian News Genuinely hard to watch.
