Democrats warn of Trump trap
By Mike Lillis and Scott Wong - 07/31/19 06:00 AM EDT

House Democrats up in arms over President Trump’s attacks on minority lawmakers are sounding a warning to their own party heading into the 2020 elections: Don’t take the bait.

While Democrats have rushed to the defense of Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the prominent Congressional Black Caucus member Trump has attacked this week, they also sense the president is setting a political trap.

Democrats won the House in 2018 campaigning on health care, income inequality and other legislative priorities, and there is concern that Trump’s rhetoric is designed simply to distract voters from those policy debates.

“I hope we don’t take the bait,” said Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-La.), the former head of the Black Caucus. “The president always plays the race card when he’s having a bad news cycle. It’s easier to call people names when you don’t have anything else to point to.”

Trump himself on Tuesday said there is no strategy to his attacks on Cummings.

The President plays it???

The race -- and gender, and sexual orientation, etc. etc. etc. -- cards are a core part of the Democrat playbook.  Hell, they openly urge people to vote on that exact basis.  What they don't like is when their race-baiting/pimping gets pointed out by Trump.

Trump has been trolling-with-truth for 4 years, and Dems and their MSM shills always take the bait and swallow the hook. It's wryly amusing and amazing.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

The man is solely responsible for changing POLITICS forever. 

Ironically, with the indispensable help of social media...whose boardrooms are totally against him.   :laugh:

QFT.    As columnist Jason Riley (an African-American) stated in this morning's WSJ:  "The reality is that most of the racism that the left complains about these days has proved under scrutiny to be imaginary, which is good news for the country but bad news for politicians and activist who thrive on racial division."

"Pimping" is a perfect way to describe the Dems' exploitation of African Americans.

Nice. Troll the Truth with Twitter.

Sec. of HUD Ben Carson held a news conference in Baltimore this morning.

The President led to problem solving for this city, unlike waiting around for the normal course of bureaaucracy.
