Yamich Alcindor: Trump Was Almost Laughing at the GOP Saying He’ll Be Okay Even If the Party Goes Down in Flames

EXCERPT:

ALCINDOR: "Well I think he was feeling frustrated and angry at the fact that Republicans lost the House. I mean, this president, as much as he campaigned for Senate Republicans and was traveling and talking about that, he was pulling up on stage House Republicans. He was tweeting about House Republicans the day of the election. So he was also very invested in the House. So I think that he felt that loss very deeply and as a result he was angry about that. So, I think that that was going on. But I also think that there is this idea that President Trump separates himself from the Republican Party. He’s almost saying Trump won, but the Republicans lost. The way that he was talking about those Republicans saying, hey, Mia Love, you didn’t give me any love, he was almost laughing at the Republican Party saying well my brand is going to be OK even if this party goes down in flames."
