For anyone interested in the political calculation behind Trumps latest tweet storm:

The article sums up the game nicely.
In order to understand the electoral chess came played on your behalf, you have to be unemotional and look into the political craft behind the things that go on in front of you. Flying off the handle only obscures the masterful level at which politics is played today. It is truly a psychological game played by opinion makers in the MSM and social media to reach the undecideds and independents.
The committed vote does not count. Flipping out does not count, and crying “You lousy bastard!” counts even less. You are merely a target. And if you hurt yourself banging the table, then you are merely collateral damage.
Appreciate the mind games played and understand that everyone is ****ing with your mind.

Trump's tweets did have an electoral politics nexus — plenty of working-class people sought by Democrats for votes speak and think this way, and these tweets and the Democrats' outraged responses put them all on record for the voters.
But more important, his measure was aimed at Pelosi herself, forcing her to defend the very people who up until now have been trying to politically kill her. Pelosi prissily called Trump's tweets "xenophobic," and the press dutifully reported that narrative, clutching pearls.
But what we are seeing now is Democrats ganging up in Pelosi and blaming her for the whole Trump tweet string. They're emboldened. They aren't blaming Trump for this; they know Trump. They are using Trump's tweets to intensify their fire on Pelosi. And Trump knows this. It's likely he planned it this way. Just look what's going on among the leftists on Twitter:
