The right tries everything it can to deflect and project racism outward. It's classic psychological manipulation. We're not the ones, you're the ones. Wife says to husband, hey, you spent too much money this month.. Husband says, "No I didn't. YOU spent too much money this month." Okay, well clearly someone spent all the money for the mortgage.
Leaving out his "White Guy Misunderstanding Black Guy" comments leftover from the 1950s, there's still the first part. Trump's doesn't know what he's doing. He lacks the intellectual curiosity to discover what the purpose of the Executive Branch is. What he asked of that reporter would be like if you walked into a book store... And asked the clerk, "Do you have XYZ?" And the clerk told you, "I don't know, you want to call the publisher. Here's a phone call the publisher. See if he shipped us any."
He's unprepared. He's never had a real job in his life. He doesn't want to do the real work of the presidency. He just held a campaign event in FL.. Why would he do this? Are these not symptoms of a lunatic? Love me, adore me, shower me with kisses. He needs a safe space of his adoring fans, because he knows they're few and far in between. And the people who aren't his fans, aren't afraid to tell him that.
