Dense Donnie's disastrous diversion

Now, of course, telling people to return to their country of origin is an old nativist trope. But now it’s being uttered by the supposed president. He’s engaging in the lowest of racist demagoguery. And it’s being noticed.
In trying to divert attention from his troubles, Trump opened up a can of worms he can no longer put back. The Epstein news was bad for him; he deflected from it by doing something even worse. Democrats, who were sniping at each other, are now unified in confronting Trump’s blatant, sledgehammer racism. The kerfuffle of last week has been forgotten. The House is about to pass a resolution condemning Trump. This will be a dry run for impeachment proceedings, when they happen.
Trump’s rage may have been calculated at the beginning. But now it’s spiraled out of control, as he loses control of the narrative. Now he’s nothing but a vile racist, publicly declaring it even as he swears his tweets aren’t racist. The media is not playing his game, using the strongest language it has used during his regime.
This diversion has been an unmitigated disaster. What may have begun as an attempt to give his base red meat, it has backfired spectacularly. People who were on the fence, for whatever reasons, are now disgusted by what comes out of the People’s House. His miscreance and evil can no longer be tolerated.
We may just have crossed a Rubicon. We’ll see where the road leads.
