Trump plays his base again. [View all]
Aside from getting Gorsuch confirmed, Trump has accomplished nothing the right-wingers voted for.
He’s about to fail for a second time at repealing the ACA.
So, how to get the right-wing base to stand solidly with him? Make a huge deal out of the national Anthem and the flag.
These people are easily manipulated by hot-button emotional issues over symbolism. Trump knows it. That’s why he’s doing this.
Does anyone believe he gives a crap about those things? The guy has NO core principles outside of self-promotion and “winning.”
