As I see it, there was nothing spontaneous about Trump’s racist and male supremacist rant yesterday. It was calculated, planned, and performative. It’s at the core of his worldview and campaign strategy, designed to appeal to his voting base as well as demonstrate what he considers his unassailable right as a white (rich in this case) man to define — put in “their” place — people of color and women.
It also reveals that his anticipated waltz into the White House in November has become problematic in his (sick) mind with Kamala’s electrifying ascendancy to the top of the Democratic Party ticket.
