'Donald Trump has a problem': MSNBC panel points to billionaire vs. MAGA civil war

Raw Story  

Donald Trump's top issue next year is fixing immigration, and an MSNBC political panel thinks he set up his supporters for an internal civil war over it. Speaking to Ayman Mohyeldin, who is filling in for Nicolle Wallace, Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson said Trump has spent the past decade blaming immigrants for all that ails them. It presented itself in a very public fight between MAGA darling Laura Loomer and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has been on Trump's side for the past several months. "It is an inevitability the non-college educated base, which is the majority, were always going to be preconditioned to believe that the word immigrant or visa means brown people bad," Wilson said.
