Trump and his team know exactly who his most fervent supporters are.
That is certainly true – it’s why Trump hemmed and hawed about David Duke, for example.
He might be personally prejudiced against African Americans in a vague way – Central Park jogger, Bensonhurst, all that stuff from the '80s was in his developmental wheelhouse, plus the '70s case which suggests he had some kind of “there goes then neighborhood” instinct – but mainly I think he’s Trumpist. There’s him, and there’s the people who are nice to him, and then there’s everybody else.
But of course:
President Donald Trump’s former campaign staffers claim they cracked the code for tamping down his most inflammatory tweets, and they say the current West Wing staff would do well to take note.
The key to keeping Trump’s Twitter habit under control, according to six former campaign officials, is to ensure that his personal media consumption includes a steady stream of praise. And when no such praise was to be found, staff would turn to friendly outlets to drum some up — and make sure it made its way to Trump’s desk.

The most powerful man in the world needs to be coddled like an infant.
No, it’s worse than that. He’s a petulant toddler whose parents give him whatever he wants to stop his whining.
Progresso is obviously way too liberal for him. Hell, it says so right in the name. @RealDonaldTrump “Campbells is great soup, terrific. Progresso pushing an agenda. Bad hombres. Sad!”
Trump at CPAC - “‘fake’ media should not be able to use sources unless they publish their names”
Holy fuck.
Think he said something similar last Saturday…not that they shouldn’t be able to, but that they shouldn’t.
You literally just said they didn’t speak to anyone, and now you’re saying you know the people they talked to. WTF man.

Oh man, that got a genuine laugh out of me.
Trump’s name being crooked and off-centered in cheap gold paint. Beautiful.

Did anyone see Bannon’s speech at CPAC? Terrifying.

He’s going to have an aneurysm in the first three months if this keeps up. His blood pressure must be crazy high. “What do you mean there are two other branches of government who don’t have to do what I say?”
