Contributing sentiments towards policy:

71% : Today, Trump debuted the latest version of this game.
58% : That Trump would do so now makes sense.
47% : In 2015, when Trump famously said that Mexican immigrants are criminals and rapists, he also said, "Some, I assume, are good people."
45% : But enough for Trump and his followers to wave away their critics as hysterical.
42% : If Trump is ever pressed on these race-science comments, he'll try to sidestep his way out of them, just as he did with his comments about the Proud Boys, Mexican people, and the like.
36% : In 2020, when Trump told the Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by," his comments were not an outright condemnation of the far-right group, nor were they more than a winking nod in support.
29% : Regardless, it was perhaps inevitable that Trump would eventually dip his toes into the grimy puddle of race science -- the pseudoscientific belief that race carries specific genetic tendencies that explain differences in intelligence and other behavioral proclivities.
18% : "When you look at the things that [Vice President Kamala Harris] proposes, they're so far off, she has no clue," Trump told Hewitt.
