Donald Trump has done it again.
He’s said something totally stupid, then walked it back, then said something else totally stupid.
The trouble is, it’s not stupid. It’s Trump’s deliberate, bait-and-switch trick to manipulate the national television media. Watch for it yourself in coming days and weeks.
Especially watch the timing. He always makes these jaw-dropping dumb comments, like “I would do stop and frisk” because it was successful in New York (it wasn’t, and it’s been ruled unconstitutional), just after really disturbing news about him is revealed.
Disturbing like the the big reveal of the fake Trump University. Really disturbing like the far-too-suggestive timing of his illegal campaign donation to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi shortly after she announced she might be investigating Florida complaints about Trump University (she then decided not in investigate).
