I totally agree he knew what he was doing. That was not "from the heart" or "spur of the moment". The question to me would be - WHY? Does the richest man in the world get his rocks off pulling this type of stunt? He absolutely knew it would cause an uproar from some. Just a troll job, tho......I dunno. I kinda agree it's to distract everyone from something else.
Without going into politics, this whole time in America is somewhat surreal. It's like we are completely falling into a trap. With our eyes open.
