Summary
Trump Has "Won This One," Democrats Angry And Defeated According To CNN. Jake Tapper reports that several House Democrats are angry and frustrated that they rushed to the defense of far left Democrats known as "the squad" at the whim of Trump even going as far to say that Trump has won.
Many people have pointed out that Trump's goal was to distract Democrats and the media and force them to circle the wagons around their more extreme progressive members. Assuming that was his plan it worked, even the New York Times reported that Trump was happy with the results.
Ilhan Oman and Ocasio-Cortez are now front and center and while both may be well known an Axios poll shows extremely low favorability. In fact Trump put Ilhan Omar front and center at a rally where he criticized her behavior. According to Axios Omar's favorability is 9%
We can criticize Trump's behavior but we have to accept his plan worked out. Regardless of how you feel he is forcing the Democrats to make moves that will hurt them in the long run even if it causes some damage to himself. He knows his base will never fall to social justice rhetoric and is willing to push the limits.
