Trump And His Supporters Thrive On Cruelty

The binding agent between Donald Trump and his backers is the president’s consistent demonstration of cruelty, argues writer Adam Serwer in the latest Atlantic Argument. From the president’s mockery of the disabled New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski, to his denigration of Christine Blasey Ford, to his villainizing of undocumented immigrants, it has become clear that Trump galvanizes his base with invectives that target those who are suffering. “Trump’s fiercest backers enjoy his cruelty towards people they have decided deserve it,” Serwer says in the video.
