Not to criticize you personally for playing devils advocate but fuck this weak ass justification.

This guy is the richest person in the world and he didn't become that by being some disadvantaged individual who doesn't understand what he's doing at times. He knew full well what he was doing. He was grinning the whole fucking time and acts like he knows he's untouchable.

I agree that I don't think he wants to 'round up Jews and exterminate them,' but I do think he wanted to empower the nut jobs that do believe in that (not just Jews but every Republican enemy) while also drumming up controversy to get everyone talking about him like he's always done in the past. He thinks this is all a game with few stakes for himself.
