Trump and the Man in the T-Shirt
“You can make them vicious, violent, horrible questions, even though you’re sort of, probably, on live television,” Donald Trump said to the audience at a campaign event in Rochester, New Hampshire, on Thursday night. He was explaining the format of the event, something that he thought would be more “fun” than a speech—“which I’ve been doing over and over and over”—but the instructions could also be a shorthand for Trump’s theory of campaigning, if not of everyday life. In New Hampshire, he elicited ugliness, he got it, and, to all appearances, he relished it.
