Here are two interesting NYT pieces that play off each other (though I don’t think they were planned to play off each other). One is by David Brooks on how Trump’s right-wing campaign has turned into a left-wing version of identify politics, complete with political victims (conservatives, Christians, etc.) and their evil-doer oppressors (secular liberals). The second is a piece on how Trump is literally profiting off of playing the martyred victim, electorally and financially (selling Bibles, swaths of his mug-shot clothing etc.). 

Btw – Re selling the mug-shot clothing: It reminds me of the hilarious “The Shoe is the Sign” scene from ‘The Life of Brian.’
