Will THIS latest tweet be enough to get mainstream journalists to say Trump is racist? Most likely, it will simply produce more prevaricating of "some say . . ." and "may have appeared to be . . ."

Next week, Trump will come right out and use "n****r" to describe Ilhan Omar or some other Black person. Will THAT be enough to get journalists to say Trump is racist?

This is an intentional message to Trump’s tribe of conservative white MAGAs: I’ve got your back, because it’s us white people against them. One of the most damning indictments of our country is the fact that the best insurance against Trump getting re-elected isn’t his blatant racism, but the economy going into recession/contraction at some point over the next 15 months. Sad, but true.

Meanwhile, Pelosi and the other establishment Dems seem hell-bent on riding that “appeal to the 60 year old white guy in Ohio who likes Joe Biden but will vote for Trump again anyway” strategy all the way to 268 Electoral College votes in 2020.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is every good thing that Drumpf is not. That a large section of America cannot or will not see that....Jeez Roy, the Dark Age of Drumpf is really slipping into the Twilight Zone.

Salena Zito on Trump's tweets: "The problem is the press takes Trump literally, but not seriously, while his supporters don't take him either literally or seriously, or believe that they heard the words he said or that they are actual words or that he even said them at all."
