A man you can bait with a Tweet

Language warning. I think that's necessary on anything from Sam Bee or John Oliver, but hey...


Anyway, Sam Bee spinning her own conspiracy theory as proof-of-concept of its ridiculousness. It's actually kind of convincing!

The contrasts pervade his campaign. Aides to Mr. Trump have finally wrested away the Twitter account that he used to colorfully — and often counterproductively — savage his rivals. But offline, Mr. Trump still privately muses about all of the ways he will punish his enemies after Election Day, including a threat to fund a “super PAC” with vengeance as its core mission.

"Trump will fix inner cities" = "Trump will fix black people problems".

Consider the audience of very much not inner city (nor "inner city") folks.

I.e., he was trying to convince suburban white folks he wasn't a racist? I guess it worked?

I honestly feel like he's just going to ignore inner cities for the next four years. The Democrats are open for criticism in their committal to actually improving inner cities, but who actually honestly believes Donald Trump is going to be the one to fix them?

 
Wow, incoherent. Nobody believes the second when you already put out the first.

This is the first time President elect Trump responded officially to criticism. His choice? To peddle conspiracy theories in an attempt to delegitimize his opponents. His biggest fans were already marching in lock step. If that's not terrifying to you, I don't know what to say.

 
To add: Trump had a great many things he could have responded to on Twitter. He claims to want to be President to all Americans. There's been no shortage of anguish, and no shortage of plain crime in reaction -- some from both sides, to be fair.

But what does Trump do? He finds out that there are protests against him, and complains about that.

He doesn't care. About the anxiety and uncertainties facing those he maligned for months on the campaign trail. He doesn't care. And I don't know how this can be surprising.

I was told that the vast majority of us all condemned his insensitivity, his blind spots, his crudeness and churlishness. Now that he has been elected, I see little reason to have faith in those assurances. For all their complaints, the Republican Party slowly but surely fell in line after he won. America is doing the same. Show me otherwise.
