...racism is all that popular. This, after all:1/ There's a very passionate reaction to @realDonaldTrump's racisty racism this morning. It's justified, but pointless.— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) July 14, 2019
Let me remind you: there is no bottom. There is no better Trump. It's never a joke, or 87-dimensional chess, or some clever strategery.
is just a call back to "shithole countries." Which, it seems to me, makes it easier to make the race a referendum on Trump, especially with Trump doing the work for us. Trump is very good at handing his enemies the ammunition. The point is to let it work against him. But given the primaries haven't even started yet, is it time to worry about the race against Trump? This stuff will keep.....and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 14, 2019
What percentage of the electorate is following every word Trump says on Twitter, and every word his words prompt? Trump counter-programs the Democratic debates because they get better ratings than he does. There's a reason for that, and it isn't because people are ignoring Trump's racism. And Trump isn't worried about ratings just because of his ego. He understands that attention matters, and that he isn't going to win on his accomplishments.
And there's the fact that, while candidates start campaigning earlier and earlier, the real campaign doesn't start until the primaries end. And with 20+ Democratic candidates, the campaign against the incumbent can't start yet. He's not helping himself with this stuff, but when people are paying attention and about to vote is the prime time to bring is back up. Besides, it really does speak for itself:
Supporters usually say ppl are misunderstanding/taking him out of context and Trump usually leaves himself some kind of out/claims he said something different (with “shithole” his allies said it was “shithouse” hence reports were wrong). This one is pretty direct. https://t.co/1lugouM4Jy— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) July 14, 2019
