Wasting a lot of taxpayers money (the cost of flying Air Force 2 from Las Vegas to Indianapolis to Los Angles exceeds $250,000), this Trump-ordered, anti-black media stunt was about divisiveness and appealing to Trump's white nationalist base. After giving a speech in Las Vegas about national unity, Pence went to Indianapolis knowing that he was there only for a brief political stunt (reporters were told in advance not to bother getting off the bus—Pence wouldn't stay for the game). Having made his divisive point, Trump's puppet then flew to Los Angeles to speak at a fundraiser for Dana Rohrabacher, the only person in government whose love for Putin may equal Trump's.
