Battering ram batters

Clay Travis disproves of President Trump's methods in dealing with the four Congresswomen.
Even though he thinks he says what needs to be said.
My biggest issue with Trump so far — and why I haven’t been able to fully embrace him — is I think he’s an inarticulate expression of an important conversation about identity politics that our nation needs to be having. And I appreciate the fact that he’s willing to stand up to the far left wing of the Democratic party when many in our country run and hide because they’re afraid of being attacked as racist or sexist or misogynistic if they disagree with someone other than a white man’s opinion. But I question whether there’s a coherent strategy behind his inclination for political combat — his behavior often appears slapdash, incoherent, and utterly unpredictable, which are three characteristics I don’t want associated with my president.
There's two jobs there.
Trump is the battering ram.
Battering rams batter.
A fine verbal dissection of the Democratic battle could hurt them - but Trump shining his spotlight does as well.
A week from now, the furor over Trump will wane a little.
Democrats will still have an ideological battle they can't solve.
