Have you noticed how people connected to Orange tRump seem to make a splash, when something needs to be pushed off of the front page ?
No such thing as bad publicity, for Orange tRump! He set the bar, for himself and his fans.
The weird quality of Orange tRump, that distorts reality.
tRump steps into the picture, and suddenly it is a Fun House Mirror, in a Halloween House of Horrors.
(Suddenly, it is not about the victims, but about his attitude toward the victims.)
tRump has recently joined hands, with hands that are covered with the gore and blood of Heather Heyer, 32 years old (Charlotteville Extremist Right Wing)

Trump’s calls to “unify” in light of the attacks were largely rejected, with many describing them as hypocritical coming from a president who regularly smeared his perceived opponents and journalists. “President Trump’s words ring hollow until he reverses his statements that condone acts of violence,” Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi said in a statement. CNN president Jeff Zucker sharply denounced both Trump and Sanders for their “total and complete lack of understanding” on the seriousness of the president’s ongoing attacks against the media.

Orwell writes in his Notes on Nationalism:
Nationalism is not to be confused with patriotism. Both words are normally used in so vague a way that any definition is liable to be challenged, but one must draw a distinction between them, since two different and even opposing ideas are involved. By ‘patriotism’ I mean devotion to a particular place and a particular way of life, which one believes to be the best in the world but has no wish to force on other people. Patriotism is of its nature defensive, both militarily and culturally. Nationalism, on the other hand, is inseparable from the desire for power. The abiding purpose of every nationalist is to secure more power and more prestige, not for himself but for the nation or other unit in which he has chosen to sink his own individuality.

Context- gun rights, fan loyalty, (tRump pointing out that his fan base is not particularly gifted with a sense of right and wrong ?)
