https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/08/john-brennan-former-cia-director-diminishes-himself/When Trump's opponents are baited into violating norms, they diminish themselves and their cause.
John Brennan may not know it, but he is acting in a drama scripted and produced by Donald J. Trump.
As Eli Lake of Bloomberg perceptively observed, President Trump isn?t trying to silence Brennan by revoking his security clearance, as the former CIA director?s defenders insist, but to elevate him as a foil.
Trump couldn?t hope for a better poster boy for the so-called deep state than a former CIA director who immediately began to sound like a commentator for MSNBC upon leaving government ? and, indeed, signed up as a commentator for MSNBC.
It has been the usual practice of former top intelligence professionals to keep their political opinions, and especially their wild-eyed rants, to themselves. They understand that, having been entrusted with some of the most sensitive powers of the United States government, they should show forbearance and restraint lest they undermine the reputations of their institutions.
Brennan has had no such compunction.
........................................................................
Advantage: Trump. The president always benefits from the fact that his brand depends on violating norms, whereas if his opponents are baited into violating norms in return, they diminish themselves and their cause.
So it is that a former CIA director is combating a president who maintains the top echelons of the intelligence establishment hated him by demonstrating his hatred for him.
The president?s adversaries may consider this unfair, but the institutions Trump targets are best served by not responding in kind. If the president says that the press can?t be trusted because it?s so biased, the press should react by being less biased rather than more. If he says that he?s being undone by a deep-state conspiracy, former intelligence officials should be more restrained rather than less.

I think 3 pages back or so I read something about the African American community supports Trump. Is that really true? Anecdotally it seems like most of the high profile people are anti-Trump... music industry, actors and sports... especially the NBA. I'm not sure if it's actually policy disagreement or if it's more like "He's not Obama" behavior.

Well , like I said before there are many ?made up ? throwaway websites you can just paste the links from and claim something is ?news? . It just takes a few seconds or a few clicks to debunk these claims .
Now If this was something we read in the WSJ or the Economist for example , with a properly researched , scientific unbiased poll conducted without framing bias , it would be more believable .
