I have to believe that it's a net negative statewide; it would seem to me that anyone that liked that stuff was already strongly MAGA; undecided voters are undecided for a reason and this stuff can't be helpful to Trump imo

I don't think it helps him, but I'm skeptical whether it hurts him all that much, having grown up in the Detroit suburbs.

Imo it might actually benefit inner city turnout; pissing people off is not a great political message; I'd also add that Trump has just given a booster to the Democratic GOTV effort by pissing them off into working even harder to show Trump up(we shall see I guess)

The gamble is if it outweighs scaring enough voters to turn-out for Trump. Their campaign says yes. And, it looks cool and macho that he shit talked them in their own city. ItтАЩs a fair assessment. There is also the question of if Trump said that in the calculating manner I described or if heтАЩs just a dumb fuck.
