The Daily Show: “Trump’s Most Powerful Tool Is That He Knows How To Wield ‘Victimhood'”

“Trump’s most powerful tool is that he knows how to wield victimhood. He knows how to offer victimhood to the people who have the least claim to it.”

The Daily Show host Trevor Noah took time between takes to speak to his studio audience about Donald Trump’s ability and talent to turn victimhood against accusers in this new world.

As Noah wisely notes, “People felt, because of Trump, like they were losing their country. They felt like America was losing. ‘Feeling’ is often times more powerful than what is actually happening.”

“One of the richest men in the world and he’s like, ‘We’re losing folks. The game is rigged.'”

“You’re a billionaire, Trump. You were a billionaire at 8-years-old. How are you losing?”

This is really worth your time.

Trump Covers NY Daily News

Because, of course…

From the New York Daily News:

After relentless pressure spanning the political spectrum, President Trump grudgingly condemned white supremacists, the KKK and neo-Nazis for Saturday’s violence in Charlottesville, Va.

“Racism is evil,” Trump said during a brief address at the White House on Monday. “And those that cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.”

Hours later, he took to Twitter to complain that his belated repudiation of hate groups wasn’t met with more acclaim.

“Made additional remarks on Charlottesville and realize once again that the #Fake News Media will never be satisfied…truly bad people!” he wrote.
