"Does everyone understand now? Trump is playing this game at a higher level than most of his critics."

His statement was certainly reminiscent of "I don't hate blacks. Some of my best friends are black". Such statements were never considered to be "playing this game at a higher level".

You may be overthinking this. If you step back and consider the whole of what DJT has accomplished politically thus far, there is genius at work.

A Presidential campaign on his dime with massive free publicity provided. And shortly, the RNC will reimburse the dime Trump lent his own campaign.

You really don't see the smarts here?

That became a joke back when free black America was a lot better behaved (just coming out of Jim Crow, or in non Jim Crow states) than they are now — i.e. there was no real reason to put up one’s guard to an unusual degree.

Now that they have been harnessed into “liberal” (illiberal) grievance games (and the same with the unauthorized Mexican guests) the scene is different. Context matters!

Let’s hope his next tweet isn’t a picture of him eating fried chicken saying he loves blacks.

What’s next? Trump lying in a bed in Trump Plaza, and saying he loves the way Hispanic maids clean? Or a tweet of him chowing down on watermelon...

Genius?

Disagree. More like, "I am ending all affirmative action programs in the federal government. All people should compete as equals and not be judged by the color of their skin. I don't hate blacks, some of my best friends are black." Context is everything.

Talk like that might start triggering the Trump worshipers.
