Donald Trump left observers agape this week, when he executed a stunning pirouette – ending exactly 180 degrees from his previous position on immigration – a move both unexpected and agile for the candidate whose movements Seth Meyers likens to those of a honey-drunk bear. The list of those let down by Trump’s ‘softening’ on his immigration stance is both long and vocal. Enthusiasm for a crocodile-filled moat and giant wall is still at a fever pitch, and it accounts for a great deal of Trump’s popularity. The trick for Trump will be to assure his loyal racists that he really hasn’t changed his tough stance.
As Katrina Pierson pointed out on CNN this week; “He hasn’t changed his position on immigration, only the words he’s saying.” She does have the worst job, other than the zoo-keeper for scat-throwing monkeys as Seth Observes. I must add, it’s the same old scat everyday for the zookeeper, while Katrina must deal with different s**t each day.
Trump’s team claims that the African American voters loved Trump in pre-Birther days! They claim that blacks admired Trump’s “Wealth and lifestyle.” If that remark wasn’t insulting enough, the team says the love will return -if it ever existed, within 75 days. Assuming the African-American community forgets about Trump’s housing discrimination, and other blatant insults, it’ll be fun to watch Trump try to juggle his new ‘friends’ and his old, racist supporters in the home stretch!
