Trump’s hypocrisy and racism vie for supremacy

Timothy L O’Brien says describing Donald Trump’s racist baiting of four new Democratic congresswomen of different ethnic backgrounds as ‘strategic’ gives him too much credit.

As he has so many times since bursting onto the presidential stage in 2015, Donald Trump played the race card again over the weekend. He launched nearly three dozen broadsides on Twitter throughout the day, but a trio of his tweets stood out because they demonstrated how casually he likes to uncork his venom and how unwilling the Republican Party is to contain him.
