In England and Wales, a politician sending racist tweets like this would be liable for criminal prosecution. 
As people have asked, there are several options. One would be publishing written material intending to stir up racial hatred, contrary to s19 of the Public Order Act 1986.
A second would be an offence contrary to s127 of the Communications Act 2003 of sending a grossly offensive message by use of a public electronic communications network.
A third would be an offence contrary to s1 of the Malicious Communications Act 1988.
For those who have read Trump’s tweet - which addressed ethnic minority, American-born political opponents and suggested that they “go back” to countries they “originally came from” - and are asking me to explain how it is racist, I fear you may be beyond help.
I will however gladly represent you when you inevitably appear in court. Because everyone, even people like you, deserves proper legal representation and fair treatment in the justice system. That’s how we roll.
