She’s not dangerous. Trump supporters don’t give a bleep about her. Nothing she says will move the needle because she can’t attack him from a place they care about. We knew Trump was racist years ago, he spent the 2016 election RT’ing white supremacists, or the Central Park 5, or housing discrimination, or rapist Mexicans. What does one instance of him saying a racial slur do to influence that perception? She’s not looking to grift from MAGAts, she’s looking to target liberals looking for hot gossip. She’s playing the reality show angle, Trump is helping her because it still helps him with his base (getting to punch down at women AND black people), and we’re…rooting her on?

So talking about her is rooting her on? I’m trying to separate myself from that. I guess we let it play out because that is my point…it is going to play out no matter what I or anyone does. I’m just watching and commenting.
