They were for the bigots who are a part of his base.
Trump is tweeting about a Biden gaffe re African Americans that Biden has now apologized for.

In span of days Trump has praised 'bloodlines' of notorious anti-Semite Henry Ford & lectured Asian American reporter to "ask China." No apology.
"Good bloodlines." TRUMP=DEATH embraces Henry Ford's eugenics. Jared, you there?

"Bloodlines." Word choice matters, fucknuts. It's the tell. https://t.co/IxLly5KDak

Six days ago Trump tweeted support for Nazi symps and it’s like it never happened. Read @monacharenEPPC at @BulwarkOnline on why this should a big deal. https://t.co/BEBGbIHBsL https://t.co/eZNle8BE4C

In 1918, Henry Ford purchased his hometown newspaper, The Dearborn Independent. A year and a half later, he began publishing a series of articles that claimed a vast Jewish conspiracy was infecting America. https://t.co/qIxaSd5CrE https://t.co/6R2lyJKwAz

Henry Ford was a virulent antisemite who famously claimed that a vast Jewish conspiracy was infecting America. A fact the president clearly knew when he made this statement. He owes the Jewish community an apology. https://t.co/wc3v4LKiHG

Don't anyone doubt for a second that whoever wrote Trump's speech saying Henry Ford had "good bloodlines" knew Henry Ford wrote a pamphlet called "The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem." This is the gaslit dog whistling this White House does. It's dark, scary stuff. https://t.co/uy1YuwBuOo

In 1918, Henry Ford purchased his hometown newspaper, The Dearborn Independent. A year and a half later, he began publishing a series of articles that claimed a vast Jewish conspiracy was infecting America. Ford bound the articles into four volumes titled "The International Jew.” https://t.co/HdSDUgYubq

When the President of the United States praises "bloodlines" on national TV, I feel the same kind of existential dread and fatigue, the same kind of chest pain as I do when I read accounts of the Holocaust (of which I've been doing a lot for my book). It's…awful.

Trump keeps screaming out loud his approval of those with a history of hate and people refuse to listen. https://t.co/xLcHOjOQFw

Spoiler: Ford was an anti-Semite and Nazi sympathizer. And Trump has praised him in the past. No reluctance. Make of that what you will. https://t.co/uo0rUItDdb
