TRUMP DOG-WHISTLES TO THE GLENN GREENWALD LEFT?

This morning, Donald Trump tweeted this:



I responded:



And as if on cue, Glenn Greenwald tweeted:



Read Greenwald's entire thread. (Hat tip: Tom Hilton.) He makes some valid points, although I primarily blame the Bush administration for lying us into the Iraq War (with, to be sure, a great deal of assistance from the media).

In any event, I now strongly suspect that that sentence in the tweet was intended as a dog whistle to the useful idiots of the liberal-hating left. I don't believe Trump knows enough about them to have added the sentence on his own. But someone on his team understands, and the phrase connected as intended.
