Washington Post “Politically expedient: That’s how sources on the Trump campaign and on Capitol Hill see the move. The ensuing outrage that sparked Democrats to coalesce around the group of liberal congresswomen, who have been the center of party infighting, only helps feed Trump’s preferred narrative that the party is beholden to it’s far-left flank.”

Said one Trump adviser: “Trump’s tweets yet again reinforced in the minds of many Americans that the Democratic Party is the party of AOC and Omar.”

Said another: “Strictly from a political standpoint, his tweets seemed designed to get Pelosi and the Squad back on the same team. Being anti-Pelosi polls well with the base. Having Pelosi and the Squad back together polls even better.”

Playbook: “The president now has a foil, and it’s four young women of color who are from the energetic progressive wing of the Democratic Party. Some Republicans think the president is trying to highlight political views he believes are out of the mainstream — albeit ham-handedly.”

He is appealing to his base, but that won't be enough votes for him to stay in office.
