"Was it an infantile expectoration or part of a grand plan? Did he count to 10 before he tweeted or just let the ugliness rip? That’s the question whenever Donald Trump drops a bomb l This time the answer is easy. The president knew exactly what he was doing--he had specific goals--he is up to something else-- It’s better to run against four people than against one. Four are more readily turned into an idea, a symbol--a tool for promoting discord in the Democratic ranks! He means to send liberals into such a fury that they believe that passionately calling him out and urging the opposite of whatever he’s saying & doing are strategy enough. He’s baiting them." It's all about the 2020 presidential campaign, which will rapidly devolve into a grotesqueness that is sure to make 2016 look like a garden party with cucumber sandwiches."
