When Jussie Smollett claimed that those who allegedly attacked him had yelled “MAGA country!” as they did so, Trump claimed this was racist.
He tweeted at the time,
“what about MAGA and the tens of millions of people you insulted with your racist and dangerous comments!?”
Considering that a political movement is not a race, the only way a Black man could be accused of making a racist statement is if MAGA were comprised of only one racial group of which he was not a member, and the homogeneous make up of the group is common knowledge.
And, since MAGA is not known to be a Black organization or movement, but has some Black adherents, Smollett could not have made a broad racist statement unless he specified a particular race within MAGA’s membership and supporters, mentioning that race.
But he did not.
His quote only included the anagram MAGA which would include all members.
Did Trump accidentally reveal through tweet that in his mind MAGA is a white movement and he sees it as such?
