Will Trump Stay Ahead?

When the Wall Street Journal gets sick enough of Donald Trump to tell its readers to vote for the ‘other guy,’ you know that a line has just been crossed. But this is what the WSJ Editorial Board did yesterday in an editorial which castigated Trump for saying that anyone who gives a donation to ‘birdbrain’ Haley will not be allowed to support the MAGA campaign.

Now, this is a rather interesting comment from Trump for two reasons. First, he’s saying that the MAGA movement or whatever you want to call it has a membership, as if it’s some kind of organized political party, organization, or group. Second, he’s pretending to impose a purity test on his supporters, as if anyone except the WSJ Editorial Board could take such a demand seriously.

Much as I can’t stand the bastard, I have to give Trump credit for understanding what it takes to keep his name in the public eye. What the entire Fake News political media still isn’t able to figure out is that Trump couldn’t give one goddamn as to whether anything he says is true or makes any sense at all.

What Trump does understand is that he gets an enormous amount of publicity for free, and the more he says something that makes no sense or cannot be believed, and the more he spices it up with some profanity or some insults or insulting nicknames like Birdbrain, the more his name appears in the digital universe…
