One of my earliest, and I still think correct, opinions about Donald Trump is that he is just one of those crazy old dudes watching Fox News.
There was never any strategy beyond the feedback loop of saying things he wanted to hear. There was never any three-dimensional chess. There was never any hidden genius.
Now what restraint he had, couching what he said to be somewhat palatable to the mainstream, is falling away.
He is saying the pet thing because he's a victim of it
