It's a good tactic. He went more extreme than the DS could. The DS has a choice, either A) back Trump like a cheerleader, or B) hit the reverse button on their own story by proving low casualties. The C) middle ground is even worse, because they'd have to convince people of an "acceptable" number of deaths, leading to nuance and subjectivity and (disaster!) people thinking for themselves. Expect him to get louder about this.
