We get it, POTUS. You are a racist POS. Now how about the kids in concentration camps with shitty food and no health care or education.

I’m sure this stunt is his attempt to distract us from something. This guy has to be the best at being the “racist senile old man” I’ve ever seen. I don’t think he plans anything but he plays the media like a fiddle to get attention any time he wants while avoiding all accountability.
I’ve never understood why anyone ever took him seriously and I’ve known people who thought he was intelligent which immediately made me question their judgement on everything.

yeah, kinda curious what was in the other 49 tweets he made that hour that might’ve needed distracting from.

I’d bet a loony it’s part of a larger attempt at provoking some kind of agressive response from the population so he can justify with his base to crank up the authoritarianism.

Maybe a dogwhistle to tell his racist base to hang in there?

I love how everything Donnie does is a 4D strategy “to distract us” from the last shitty thing he did. No, it’s not a distraction, he’s just a piece of shit.

Why not both?
That’s basically the Republican playbook, in general:
Focus all your messaging on “wedge issues” that appeal to your (prejudiced) base, then pass laws that enrich the wealthy at the cost of their base. Deflect. Blame others. Distract. Lie. It’s all distraction, and it’s all vile.
I reject your false dichotomy. It’s also not 4D chess; it’s business-as-usual Conservative politics, and the Republicans are some of the best in the world at it because they now own most of the traditional media and the text platforms used by “influencers” and most alt media.
