It's difficult to overstate how brilliant Trump is; in his remarks about Elijah Cummings, Nancy Pelosi, and Al Sharpton, he:

• Exposes and puts into words what we all knew about them-- especially Sharpton-- but that no one else of Trump's social stature had the courage to say. This "speaking to truth" power of his scores major points with millions of people, myself included.


• As he's always been so adroit at doing, he's now stuck "can't unsee it"-style nicknames to more of his opponents: the best literary experts couldn't have come up with better attachments than "King Elijah" and "Conman Al"-- it absolutely captures and puts into bottles the essence of them both.


• His comments have successfully shined bucket-loads of analysis and attention on the third-world, delapidated states of Democratic strongholds like San Francisco and Baltimore-- in his re-election cycle. Whenever he takes a jibe at someone, his primary goal is to shine a spotlight on something, and the Democrats keep taking the bait over and over.


• While managing all of this in just a few short "tweets", he also manages to squeeze in a reference to how extreme the Democrats are these days, rightfully pointing out to Pelosi "Racism? Your own party members called you a 'racist'!", which also serves to dispel the ad hominem.
