The POTUS has a sharp eye for perceived enemies and is quick to point out the most camouflaged ones on Twitter if he deems them worthy of criticism.

But when the enemy is a threat to the American constitution and is parading its colours nakedly, he can't seem to discern the obvious enemy from the rest of the crowd.

Last week it would have required a healthy dose of cynicism to speculate that the likes of David Dukes and the KKK get sympathy from Trump. Now that mainstream American politicians are pointing out what has become obvious, it's fair to say that Trump does have room in his heart for their own un-American sympathies without being cynical.
