I honestly feel that he is loving it. Especially with ardent supporters like this:

Edit: The tweet has been deleted. It was a video from today that showed some parading protesters giving the Nazi salute and yelling "Heil Trump."

Sickening.

(844 posts)While he might not be thrilled at having to speak up ( or not to) in relation to this shitstorm - I believe he's at least partly happy to have something to serve as a distraction.
That's only in the initial hours though. Just like he loved Mooch's crazy interview for an afternoon before he started hearing blowback.

It's a win-win-win for him.
He wins on exploitation of workers, he wins on race exploitation, he wins on diversion from Russia.

(23,364 posts)If he thinks about this at all, it's because Bannon/Miller told him to think about it, and what to think about it.
These protests have nothing at all to do with bank deregulation or tax breaks for the rich, so why should Trump trouble his brain about them?

(130 posts)Trump probably doesn't care about their message, he just enjoys stirring the pot and seeing the results. Just like he probably doesn't care one way or the other on healthcare, abortion or religion (I think he is an atheist). He just likes getting shit started and then sitting back and enjoying the show as well as any admiration from it. When you are that rich, insulated and mentally ill, you derive your pleasure from sparking a fire and watching it burn from your safe haven.

Although if he is getting hardcore love from his rapid fans he may get chubbed up about it
