It's amazing to me that after a decade of this, people like Rick Wilson still don't get it. Trump is an actor playing a role.

It doesn't have to be 56th dimensional chess. It's just another racist shout-out to his base, from a guy who has a history of similar behavior. It's not any more complicated than that.
