.MaddowBlog: With attacks against Rep. Cummings, Pres. Trump’s strategy becomes clear.
Last weekend, Donald Trump sparked international outrage with racist attacks targeting four Democratic congresswomen of color. This weekend, the president engaged in an eerily similar offensive, this time targeting a different Democratic lawmaker of color.
Alas, that was just the start of the multi-day rant. Trump went on to describe the Maryland Democrat as “a brutal bully,” whose district is “a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess.” The Republican added, in reference to the Baltimore-area congressional district, “No human being would want to live there.”
The more Trump’s latest racist tirade sparked criticism, the more the Republican returned to the subject. He spent a second day condemning Cummings and his district yesterday – Trump referred to the respected committee chairman as, among other things, a “racist” – and then returned to the subject again this morning.
With the fact that Trump, once again, has presented himself as being president of the United States, but only the parts he likes?
