For example, in 2016, Trump made public comments and sent out a tweet that provoked his adversaries and the news media to denounce him as racist and xenophobic for comments about Mexican rapists and murderers pouring over our minimally protected Southern border and for him being determined to build a wall to block them. Trump's adversaries and the news media went nuts and repeated or referred to what Trump said many times over.
In that manner, without spending a nickel, Trump got the equivalent of hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of campaign ad spending on the immigration issue and established himself as a genuinely against mass immigration. Trump did not stumble into this but planned it out in advance. Trump, the novice Republican Presidential candidate, used the opposition playbook against them.
Similar tactics against Buttigieg would have the news media and the Left smearing Trump far and wide as a hater for asking if the country was ready to have a gay president who is married to another man. And Trump could add, for example, that with Buttigieg as President, anyone who had traditional moral values and thought homosexual conduct was wrong would be denounced and persecuted. Trump could also point out that the only other gay President we had, James Buchanan, was so ineffective that some historians think he helped bring on the Civil War.
In response, Trump would be widely condemned by the Left, the Dems, and the news media, but absolutely every voter would know that Buttigieg was, literally, a Democrat c*cks*cker. And Buttigieg and his advocates would find his competence called into question by his sexuality.
We shall see, but if the monkey-faced gay Buttigieg is the Dem nominee, I expect that he will prove to be a catastrophically weak candidate. And lots of Black and Hispanic voters will abandon their accustomed loyalties and vote GOP.
I agree with you about Trump being a disrupter like TR.
Too bad, thought, that TR’s disruptions promoted the leftist, progressive agenda.
Trump, yes, TR, not admirable.
