Every time Trump is cornered, he pivots to racism bc then it becomes a question of PERCEPTION (which his followers love him for) instead of FACTS of his mind-boggling mismanagement.

It’s a strategy.

We can't ignore racism. We just have to face that this argument helps him.
If the headline is about his racism that means it ISN'T about how he rejected testing, fired the pandemic response team, and called the virus a "hoax."

He can win (or tie) in an argument about racism because his followers are racists and that's exactly what they like about him.
What's so diabolical about this approach is the racism itself is ALSO very damaging so it can't be ignored. We simply can't let it highjack the entire conversation.

We are facing a crisis Trump CREATED through stupidity.

That has to be the big story right now.
