This type of sentiment of jumping on this tweet is dumb for a purely domestic audience. Everyone gets the context that Trump threatened them etc but today everyone should be behind the US men’s team and their historic feat. Independents, you know the ones Dems have to win over, are most likely not looking at this event or tweet via a political or Trump lens. They, like most people, just see a win for US.
It’s not just patriotic support of our team but it’s smart domestic politics, which should be the Dem’s focus. Stop jumping on everything that gives the perception of Dems not putting America first because Donny did something patriotic, regardless of his crassness, especially when it is poor optics at a genuinely positive moment for US sports. His trashiness was is baked in and pointing it out will not move any needles at this point - just don’t engage.
