Is it obnoxious? Yep. Is it provocative? Yep.
But most of all, it’s fear.

When you’re all out of juice, you have to resort to what’s worked in the past. For Trump, that’s racism. He’s a one-hit wonder."
Remember Natalie Allison telling us he has a "new softness" and is spiritual now? I remember.

Reports from Washington have said that the Trump campaign has tried to steer him away from attacking Harris on the basis of her race and gender.
That went out the window in Chicago today."
But I gotta say, I thought it was brilliant.
He was totally exposed as the #weak, #racist, #liar that he is.

“My question is on those rioters who assaulted officers. Would you pardon those people?”
#Trump w/o hesitation: “Oh absolutely, I would.”
Trump repeated openness to pardon J6 insurgents:
“If they’re innocent, I would pardon them.”
Scott pointed out they were #convicted.
Crowd erupted into laughter.
TFG: “They were convicted by a very tough system”🙄

Trump later repeatedly claimed that #RachelScott asked “nasty” questions.

For example, the New York Post published a column earlier this month saying Harris would be the country’s first “DEI president”,
referring to diversity, equity and inclusion.
This is a way of dismissing anybody who’s🔸 not white and not a man 🔸as not being worthy of the position they’ve earned.
Trump rose to national prominence prosecuting the same kind of racist campaign against the presidency of Barack Obama.
I think we can expect there to be a push for the Trump campaign not to go down that road any further.
But we’ve seen in the past how Trump completely ignores that kind of conventional wisdom, and just how much that incites his base.
This remains a dangerous and unpredictable era in American politics. There are no rules for what happens next.
