    That would seem to be the most likely explanation. He thought the date wouldn't be offensive, but it ended up being offensive for some reason. Or maybe he is really playing dumb, but is really an evil genius who calculated this date as a secret code to rally his white supremacist base. It's hard to choose options here.

    So, let's do this. In a week when he holds this rally let's see if he strikes a tone consistent with the significance of the date or just launches into his typical 60 minutes hate.

    I'll have to take a 'wait and see' on this I guess.

    Never heard of 616 before. I need to learn more languages... besides this one.

    A lot of his success seems to be predicated on him being blessed by the nature of his opponents. In comparison they make Trump look like the voice of reason.

    Trump doesn't have to know the significance. He has advisers for that.

    And Trump knows the significance of Juneteenth.

    I'll mark you down as "no, I don't have a benign explanation."

    Trump has announced the first new rally he is going to hold will be on June 19th in Tulsa Oklahoma.

    For those unaware, June 19th is the date when the last slaves were freed at the end of the Civil War.

    For those unaware, Tulsa, Oklahoma, is the site of the worst racial violence in the USA where up to 300 African Americans were murdered in 1921 at the hands of white mobs.

    I've been assured that Trump is not racist. It is hard for me to come up with a simple explanation for why he would hold his first new rally one that date in that location which doesn't have an anti-black component. I would be curious to hear any explanations which paint this benignly and which don't amount to "Trump does stuff" or something along those lines.

    Nearly every city has had dark moments in its history. If he had held it in Topeka, Kansas, would this have been a secret shoutout to Westboro Baptist Church? If he had held it in Memphis, would it have been a celebration of MLK's assassination? This is a non-story in my view.
