Sorry, got very little... Hmmm....
Ok, Trump is shaping the battlespace. He just made the Democrat party and Democrat president candidate rally around the 'squad' they had been internecine fighting against. The squad that is wildly unpopular to a supermajority of American voters. And you know, I don't think the president planned it that way, though he may have. This seems like his standard knee jerk reaction that comes from a natural internal instinct. But if he can keep the Democrats painted into an unpopular corner, alternatively defending unpopular young Turks and battling for the soul of the party with same... it'll make it easier to beat them in many contests. Plus these young Turks have been accusing EVERYONE of racism. Trump, of course. But also Pelosi is racist and maybe even the Congressional Black Caucus is racist. And if all those people are racist together, then, no one is.
And this didn't happen in a vacuum. The day before peeps ran up a Mexican flag in place of the American one at an ICE facility. I figure that was what got angry Trump to react the impolitic way he did. I know that got me angry.
Ugh, Trump. Not very gunnie related. And I always feel a little bit sticky after talking about him. I still can't believe he is president, but yet I cannot look away. He is... horri-wonderful?
Speaking of presidential politics, I predict Biden fades and Harris gets the nom. If not Harris, Warren. And I got a bet with work buddies on that. The Biden fade part, at least. Gunnie related: candidate Kamala Harris thinks too many black men have guns and intends to do something about that.
Gun violence is the leading cause of death for young Black men in America. We must stop this. When president, I will take executive action to ensure guns do not fall into the wrong hands.— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) July 13, 2019
It’s not enough to just talk — Americans deserve action.
Seems kinda... racist. But see the first point, by the election no one will be racist.
Hey, that turned into a decent sized post.

Abortion is the leading cause of death for blacks, beating the next 4 causes combined.
Oh, I think Trump knew exactly what he was doing with that tweet. His tweets are to democrats like a laser pointer is to cats. They just can't resist chasing them, and often Trump uses them as a distraction while doing something substantive in the background. Usually takes a while to figure out what else he was up to.
As a few commentators have pointed out, Trump didn't name anyone in his tweets; everyone just assumed he meant those four. Looks like he was right on target.
