1. Trump's racism is often siloed off from the rest of his worldview -- treated either as a personal quirk or political opportunism. But I'd argue the racism is intimately intertwined with his strong man politics.

Interesting points here. He's definitely the "kiss my ring" sort.

It’s why Trump loves to be addressed as “sir” or “Mr. Trump” despite the fact that he isn’t the kind of guy one would address that way. He is an alpha male wannabe.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how - beyond the racism - Trumps attacks on Cummings view him as like a local boss, running a community which he in a sense owns. It’s like the TOS Star Trek episode A Piece of the Action.

That would seem to fit with Trump's general view of politics.

Great thread. For sure have thought about this before...first considered it while reading
@comey's book. His narrative is interwoven with his experience with the Gambino fam and other organized crime outfits. Fitting comparison and I think this is spot on.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I am offended by this Photoshop which besmirches the reputation of upstanding family man, self-made entrepreneur, and Italian-American community advocate Vito Corleone.

I'm surprised no one has attempted to critique your use of the word feudalism yet.

Consider how Donald speaks of the NFL: There are the players (predominantly African American), and the OWNERS (mainly white guys). In his mind, in owning the teams, the owners also literally "own" the players and can dictate their on-field and in-public statements and behavior.
