I believed no one in Trump's camp advised him in this interview or even his entire campaign. Either that or he refused to listen to his advisers

He’s always gotten away with “I don’t know about….DEI, Project 2025, Proud Boys, etc” Nope. If he doesn’t know, he shouldn’t be President.

So wait, Obama's former campaign manager is telling us how bad this was for Trump and you think it's not gaslighting or pandering depending on what side you are on. What a complete waste of energy put forth here.

You aren't even trying to be a non partisan news source. We also know what Tulsi did to Harris.
