Trump spent the last week tweeting digital wanted posters of people, mostly of color, who tore down Confederate statues.
He then went after attempts to rename buildings named after known racists.
He resorted to dog whistle politics and warned of “chaos” and the suburbs not being great if fair housing regulations aimed at decreasing segregation are allowed to continue.
He tweeted a video of a supporter yelling “white power”.
His latest move was calling “black lives matter” painted on the road by NYC a “symbol of hate”, a phrase he won’t use for confederate relics.
Why is Trump doubling down on overt racism? Does he think this is a winning strategy?
