Politico: “The evolution from the Sunday tweets to the Monday talking points offers a glimpse of what the Trump campaign will likely have to deal with as it heads into the heart of the 2020 election. While Trump’s reelection officials have long insisted that the best strategy is to always follow the president’s political instincts, the last few days have shown they will also have to regularly find ways to map Trump’s outbursts onto the campaign themes they think will drive him to victory.”
“Several advisers and allies expressed concern that the president was undoing months of campaign work to frame the upcoming election as a choice between an America-loving, pro-capitalist president, and a Democratic Party beholden to fringe socialists who hate America and despise capitalism. The comments also had the ancillary effect of uniting a fractious Democratic caucus that had spent the week engaged in intraparty squabbling between party leaders and the progressive members that Trump was going after.”
