        Fascinating. “Mexico’s not sending their best” (June 2015) always struck me as him seeing weaponized migration. Maybe the concept is not so new to him?

        I tried to keep that in mind when I wrote it (and note I mentioned it in the post). I think this is different in the sophistication of the zinger and the recognition of the threat it actually does pose to Europe.

        No disagreement with you there. Bannon loves talking about this kind of “Camp of the Saints” stuff... As you say, though, not with this level of sophistication.

        I wish I had a better map of how Trump parrots the last viewpoint heard, even while he may strongly believe the same. Bc I do think it's an important measure of who he's been talking to.

        Aaditya Retweeted Donald J. Trump

        You are a better Trump whisperer than people who actually talk to Trump. Only 25 minutes after your article about Trump's quip to Abe, he tweets thishttps://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1008696508697513985 …

        The people of Germany are turning against their leadership as migration is rocking the already tenuous Berlin coalition. Crime in Germany is way up. Big mistake made all over Europe in allowing millions of people in who have so strongly and violently changed their culture!

        Replying to @emptywheel

        Two quibbles: one, sourcing for G7 comment leaves open possibility of embellishment, i.e. maybe he didn't say 25 million, but larger point stands. Two, re Germany tweet this morning, risky to assume he personally composes any given tweet.

        Replying to @Brian_Martucci

        The 25 million I think was reported via enough sources that I suspect multiple people reported it out the same. But yeah, I'm pretty sure he *didn't* write that tweet.

        Do you think my description of Miller's ineptitude in the post counters that suggestion?

        Ineptitude and animal cunning can co-exist in the same host.

        I think Trump has the ability to come up with the most heinous, inhuman solutions by himself. But the cadre of racists that surround him, both domestic and foreign, provide kindling.

        I wonder if Trump spoke to Vlad in the days before the comment at the G7? Or Bannon passed it thru Miller's head to put it in Donald's?
