Maybe but I kinda doubt it. Trump's usually move is to trigger the Left by saying something that divides us from the majority of folks (as some trans Californian track athlete just won something, perfect time too) whereas having a fight with someone hia base respects that escalates to something his base cares about (rooting out Dem pedophile cabal, regardless of whether one exists) and implicating him... That seems a stunningly bad move and for all his faults, trump is good at the politics of a brawl.
