American House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries openly attacked Trump -
"This disgusting video was deliberately released by that so-called president. Goddamn it, Trump! His actions are despicable, racist, and full of malice. This person has completely lost control and is a social scum. President Obama and Michelle truly represent the smartest, most caring, and patriotic Americans, embodying the best of this country. Now it's time for John Thune, Mike Johnson, and the Republicans to step forward and publicly condemn this long-term fraud who is still sitting in the White House, pretending to be the president."
Who says harsh words can't hurt? They have said the most offensive, insulting, and even abusive words, which is a hurt to the head of state, both politically and emotionally and psychologically.
Trump may know or tacitly agree that he did go too far this time, but he still refuses to admit his mistake and doesn't respond to those attacks against him. However, even with silence, the public didn't let him off, the attacks continued, and the public opinion kept escalating. There's no denying that this is what his opponents want to see, and the behind-the-scenes manipulators are evident. The situation has developed to this point, and racism is no longer the main focus (perhaps it has always been an excuse), the main goal is to politically stigmatize Trump, portraying him as a racist. Because racism is a sensitive topic in the United States, most people avoid it. Once Trump is shaped into a racist, he would lose public support. Without public support, this president will eventually fall, it's just a matter of time. This is the fundamental reason why this incident continues to escalate.
This incident highlights the fierce political struggle between the two parties in the United States, reflecting the reality of social division, which is an incurable political illness in American society.
