Presidency in tatters, Trump reactivates hate to excite his bigoted base

Donald Trump is a bigot.

The Chief Strategist of the White House, Steve Bannon, is accused of being anti-Semitic and bragged about building the online home for the Alt-Right movement.

The Chief Policy Advisor of the White House, Stephen Miller, has a documented history of bigotry that stretches back to middle school. It seeps from his pores.

When the President, his Chief Strategist, and his Chief Policy Advisor are all well-documented bigots — guess what's absolutely bound to happen? Bigotry. It can't be avoided. It's who they are. It's a core part of their worldview. It shapes their identity and perspective. It guides their budget and policy and decisions. Most of all, though, bigotry excites Trump's core base.
