They don’t like the guy, but they voted for him, because they thought he would do a better job than Kamala.
Because he’s a guy?
Basically, the only thing I’ve learned about politics over the years is that candidates will say just about anything in order to get votes. Trump has elevated this tactic to a whole other level, mixing in his “folksy(?)” shtick with a particularly galling brand of ignorance and coarseness that, apparently, many find endearing and… real?
It’s worked the opposite on me. I can’t listen to or watch the man anymore. I long ago saw and heard all I needed to see and hear. Trump has given himself permission to spew the venom that others write for him, while he, unplugged, is a sad excuse for such a high-profile leader when it comes to uttering anything of import and substance.
It’s really all one can expect from someone who’s no student of history, someone who doubles down on his ignorance and wears his hubris like a favorite suit.
The over-arching question when the history books are updated should be, “How on earth did he get so far?”
