    We've been over saturated with media coverage from the former for the past 4-5 years and essentially heard nothing from the latter. Start talking to Black voters. Start hiring Black political commentators. Then you'll understand why these things are happening.

    Two true things: 1. Times story on Trump losing over $1 billion dollars over 10 years is an amazing piece of work and shows he's a con man. 2. Many in his base love him for getting away with such shit and would like to live as he does.

    Chinese-Americans in this case did not sue to end segregation, just to benefit from it. So, I think this case ironically did not make the point he was trying to make. (SCOTUS, btw, ruled Chinese could not go to white school)
