Over the weekend, it’s become a lot more clear what Donald Trump thinks his pathway to victory in November in. You probably won’t be surprised to know the answer: it’s white nationalism.

#LEFTISBEST

The first new red flag came on Friday, when Trump ordered the federal government to cancel contracts that it had paid out for its branches to undergo racial sensitivity training.

Trump called such programs, which attempt to change systemic racism by generally teaching people how to not be racist in the workplace, were “divisive, anti-american propaganda.” He then followed that quote up with another storm of tweets on the subject, saying the same thing.

So racism is American, being anti-racist is anti-American. Got it.

This isn’t a new strategy for Republicans, of course, but Trump has taken it to its most extreme. We’ll find out if it pays off -- to everyone’s detriment -- in November.
