Riling the rubes..priceless!!!
We all know what happened next: Trump spent several days in a protracted public feud with the Khan family, attempting to smear their names and faith while many, though definitely not all, of his fellow Republicans looked on in horror, if not exactly shame. It’s hard to think of a worse look for any presidential candidate—let alone the nominee of a party known for shows of solidarity with the military—than attacking the parents of a fallen U.S soldier.
The Constitution-themed stunt—and, yes, that’s what it was—was so clever because its success relied simply on the Trump-loving crowd reacting exactly how everyone expected they would. In that way, the angry Trump fans aren’t really any different than the man they were shouting to defend: easy to provoke.
If You Want to Get Booed at a Trump Rally, Bring a Pocket Constitution
