      It's Trump's belief that doubling down on Islamophobia & bigotry is going to help him win in 2020. I understand the calculation. I think it will indeed excite his bigoted base. They love it. But he's misunderstanding why he won in 2016. Nobody understands this more than Bernie

      Trump clearly believes that he can fear monger his way to victory. And here's the thing, I think he actually can fear monger his way to victory in about 10 states. That won't win him Michigan. It won't win him Ohio. It won't win him North Carolina. It won't win him Virginia.

      Trump is not focused on Ilhan Omar because he has a legitimate grievance with her over 9/11 or anti-Semitism. He doesn't care about either of those things. Trump is desperate for an enemy that plays on the bigotry & sexism & Islamophobia deeply embedded in his base.

          He is focusing on Omar because she wears a HIJAB and low IQ Trumpsters need something visual to focus their hate on.

          Plus, one can guess the bully in question finds it comforting to have a new Hillary to demonize. What makes this time more enticing for him is that she's also non-white and Muslim. An easy target to inflame his base. It's kind of sad, really.

          Trump is desperate to knock the Mueller report from the headlines. We can expect his behaviour to be extra disgusting for the next week or so

          Trump and Netanyahu operate on fear mongering. Whatever ideas and sacred values our civilization created to them those are available tools to inject fear for political gains. In a sense, these are more dangerous people than the dictators we have known in the past.

          As a lifelong New Yorker with childhood friends that died in 9/11, I am apalled that Trump is putting not only Rep Omar’s life at risk, but the lives of all Americans. Hatred like this breeds terrorism and endangers us all. Shame.

          No he actually is focused on her because of those 2 things. Trump had friends who died in 9/11, his daughter & son in law are Jewish. He is offended by both of those things as are millions of Americans. Ilhan Omar needs to apologize to all the people she has offended. That simple

          He is also trying to divert attention from Muellers report/investigation, and its ramifications that it holds. Now to provide further insult to Mueller and his incredible team, Barr wants an investigation to an the investigation that was approved by the courts =GOP and distract
