Trump’s strategy is to attack others on the points where he is most guilty.
Trump has to carefully edit Congressperson Ilhan Omar’s statements to make her look prejudicial in ways that are not accurate, while his own record of venomous, ugly, racist incitement to violence poisons the social, cultural and entire human climate of the United States.
Trump misrepresents others to make them seem evil, while his own, unedited words prove that there is no one more vile or evil than himself.

The psychological theory of cognitive dissonance, can go a long way to explaining the ever-changing story that Donald Trump and his supporters have offered to explain away the Russian conspiracy to interfere with the American election by illegally stealing private emails from Democratic officials. The rationalizations Trump offers have morphed over the past two years, but what remains steady is the fierce conviction of his most loyal supporters that they were never wrong to vote for him and their refusal to accept that he is a corrupt person unfit to hold even a dogcatcher’s office, much less the presidency of the United States.
Phase one of the process was flatly denying that the Russian conspiracy even happened in the first place, even as journalists and American intelligence officials were amassing evidence that Russian agents had deliberately stolen emails and used them to stoke conspiracy theories designed, successfully, to suppress voter turnout for Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Trump denied the hacking in many ways. In 2016, he flatly denied it was going on or blamed the Chinese government or “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,” rather than Russia. Under pressure from intelligence officials, at times Trump would reluctantly concede the hacking was real, but he would return to the never-happened-or-someone-else-did-it line as soon as he could.
Speaking of just one of the aspects of Trumpian hatred:
Trump will be verrry annoyed. On immigration from the south Trump is still doing whatever Steve Miller suggests and Miller likes separation, but now McAleenan of DHS has said that separation was not worth it and is off the table.
Eventually, one of Trump’s bratty tantrumps (NEW WORD) will explode at Miller and then he will be gone. It’s inevitable. Trump does it to everyone. It has not happened YET, though, so McAleenan has a fight on his hands till this is settled.

Lawless Trump has ignored two demands from the Senate to see his taxes.
Obviously something in his taxes could lead to impeachment.
