Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for the last 72 hours, you’ve doubtless heard that Trump is yet again in hot water for an offensive tweet. This time the issue is a tweet about Hillary Clinton that included what appears to be a Star of David on a field of cash, calling her corrupt.
….
The big story over the last week, however, was supposed to be that Trump had turned a corner. Out the door went Lewandowski. Trump hired actual finance people. He started using a teleprompter. Relatively professional fundraising pitches started on the reg. More or less, Trump started looking like a reasonable facsimile of a Presidential candidate.
What this Star of David controversy illustrates is that the new Trump campaign is exactly the same as the old Trump campaign, but the job of pretending to be Donald Trump on twitter has just been turned over to a college age intern. Someone got around to sending out a memo that actually retweeting white supremacist/fake accounts was a bad thing. However, instead of, you know, actually creating their own images, they are still using the juvenile, idiotic, racist stuff Trump’s loyal followers are producing, but just putting about 30 seconds into making it look like Trump isn’t just ripping off his followers’ content.
I hope Republicans get a good, long look at this. This is who Trump is. He and his campaign are never gonna not be the idiots who uncritically retweet any old idiot – including the obviously racist idiots – who say good things about Trump. Of course, by now, the open racists are about the only people left saying good things about Trump.
….
It’s not getting better. The veneer has already been scraped off. Stop expecting Trump to turn a corner. Either be prepared to embrace this for the next four months, or be prepared to do something about it.
