.EdgeofSports: Whether or not Trump is building his base for a 2024 run, or is trying to maintain his status as a GOP power broker (it’s the former, and we all know it), his aim is the same: to speak to people’s worst instincts for his own purposes.
Unlike former President George W. Bush and former President Barack Obama or President Joe Biden, Trump won’t be at a memorial or a plane crash site or meeting with surviving family members. Trump isn’t going for the solemn. Instead, alongside his son Don Jr., Trump will be providing commentary for a boxing match.
The reaction has been beyond critical, calling Trump’s choice to take part in such frivolity undignified on such a grim day of remembrance. But this rush to the fainting couch misses the point. And I’m not talking about the fact that it is a waste of breath to chide Trump’s boorishness. This is someone who tried to overturn an election.
Remember that for all the Americans appalled by 9/11, there were some who were energized by it. Like thethere were Americans just itching to bring the so-called clash of civilizations to the Muslim world. ‘'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass,” Keith sang to sold-out crowds. “It's the American way.” This is who Trump has an instinctual ability to speak to, like few national politicians this country have ever seen.
