Trump’s advisers are reportedly misleading him about support for his tariff policies, claiming working-class voters back them.
However, polling shows most non-college-educated Americans—especially nonwhite voters—believe tariffs hurt the economy and increase inflation.
A Marquette Law poll found only non-college white men narrowly support tariffs. A CNN poll showed 59% of non-college voters disapprove of Trump's handling of tariffs.
Critics argue Trump’s team is feeding him a distorted view, ignoring backlash and economic risks, which could give Democrats an opening to reclaim working-class support amid rising costs.
I remember a story about Men thinking wheels on luggage made them weak until someone sponsored pilots to have some. Toxic masculinity is truly a blessing of nurgle. It rot and festers.
I'm surprised no one has tried the "You hate DEI because you claim they lack merit, well I hate Trumps YES hires because their only merit is sucking up to Trump. No expertise required..."
You don't get good and decent people when you are a well known narcissists. At best you get yes men and yes blonde women. At worst you get someone just like you who plays you like a fiddle. This is what he has. A mix of useless sycophants and manipulative opportunist.
In the real world, all the tariff chaos gives Democrats an opening to try to crack his vaunted coalition.
In the real world, The New Republic, the trump voting bloc is a cult. It is not possible to "crack his vaunted coalition", becuase it is one single unit of fear-based lifelong republiQans and hypnotized rightwing media victims that no amount of logic or reasoning can penetrate.
To repeat: it is a cult, media is a desperate vortex of lies and you're not really helping like you mean to.
Would someone please have the guts to repeatedly tell him the truth and destroy the fantasy world he lives in. Everyone around him that keeps quiet is absolutely part of the problem.
