Hard to imagine anything much weirder than wanting to present oneself as racist in front of an African-American journalists association. Pretty much guaranteed to get a hostile reception when you do that.

    I mean, to be fair, his base probably came watching him do it.

    He enjoys it and it reassures the Republican base he’s their GodEmperorDaddu or whatever they’re calling him this week. The out in the open, practiced, enthusiastic hatred is what made him their guy to begin with.

    He had to hire extras to attend his rallies in 2016 until he opined about wishing Republicans could “beat the shit” out of their political enemies, that moment basically stole the entire Republican party out from under their establishment that was just about manipulating Republicans and their hatreds using dog whistles for corporate profit.

      Sure, and it also costs him a ton of votes. Not a good deal for Trump at this point in the election
