“A master of divisive politics…” What a tribute! What a claim to fame for the man who so adores the sound of his own voice.
Such was one descriptor of Donald Trump in a CNN report on possible reasons why he has once again taken up the mantle of repealing the Affordable Care Act.
Trump himself is of course beholden to the MAGA base—that assemblage of leftovers and holdouts from a time before the scales fell, when Trump was a novelty act and actually gave right-leaning folks a reason to hope.
Anymore, the base is comprised of the hardcore Doomsdayers and Christian conservatives who are also known to be suspicious of immigrants and people of any color but white. Trump’s anti-Obama fixation once again bubbles to the surface and manifests itself in a nod to this base, along with some boiler plate boasting about a better health plan that remains nebulous and most likely a figment of his imagination.
He’s just never liked Barack Obama, and still has designs on ruining 44’s legacy.
A master of divisive politics. Trump most likely considers this a compliment. Hopefully he’s one of a dying breed who thinks this way. When you have to resort to being a master of divisive politics, maybe it says something less than complimentary about the product you’re trying to sell. Maybe sowing division is as close as he’ll ever get to selling anything, besides hotels and golf courses.
Talk about a legacy! Two thumbs up, Donald, you’ve outdone yourself.
