"Nancy Pelosi tried to push them away, but now they are forever wedded to the Democrat Party."

He thought he had a free pass, but now he's getting spanked

They are written as if he would say them, and provided to him so he can use them as weapons.

Whomever is writing them has a firm grasp on using propaganda to influence human behavior through emotional manipulation. He is the perfect messenger but not the mastermind.

He's not the sharpest tool in the shed - one of his handlers will have to explain it to him.
Maybe with a cute little pop-up book?

It clearly doesn't work in Trump's favor and he doesn't want to play "Is It Racist?" anymore. Too bad. We really need to give this issue a good and thorough airing, and just because Trump wants to distract from this distraction, it doesn't mean we have to be diverted.

I'll go first: Bones aren't racist, Mr. Trump; it's your so-called very good brain that's racist.
