How well does Trump know his MAGA "base"? [View all]

Probably, pretty well.

He believes they are just as racist as he is.

That is why he has played his Obama card. He knows that they hate Obama with a racist passion. If Obama cannot get them to forget about Epstein, then nothing will.

Trump is saying that he wants the DOJ to go after Obama because "he is guilty". He says it would only be right "after what they did to me".

He is flat-out playing the race card and we shall see how well it works with his "base"?

It also shows that he is a desperate man. He has run out of tricks. He has no more lies to tell them.

But, he says he is not ready to ask for a "Special Prosecutor".

However, if he can find a good buddy in his conversation circles, he may want to appoint one, just to get it off his back for a while?
