President Donald Trump’s attacks on the four Democratic congresswomen known as the “squad” are a strange way to try to win reelection. …
Many of Trump’s core supporters undoubtedly agree with his characterization of the “squad” of four Democratic progressive freshman congresswomen, and making those congresswomen the face of the Democratic Party has potential benefits for the president and his party.
But too much of Trump’s rhetoric does something else that actually undermines his prospects — it enflames Democrats of all stripes, reminding them why they feel they must defeat Trump next year.
In other words, Trump is a turnout machine for the Democrats, as well. CONT.
