Subtlety is not one of Trump's strong points, but knowing his audience and how to get their support is. These types of bullhorn dog whistles will win him even more support from the white supremacists.

Blatant 'dog whistle' for his fascist minions.

This election better not be less than a landslide or we really do live in an ugly, backward, stupid America.

I doubt he is concerned about his daughters religion. There was a town hall with his family and a Jewish man asked his daughter a question about her conversion. Trump got really awkward. I don't think because he objects to her conversion, but more about the political ramifications of possibly lessening his white pride nationalist support.

Lots of articles are being written using the original graphic, and eventually it will appear on TV today.

The man does know his propaganda techniques.

...so, his propaganda techniques look amateurish and banal.
