So, according to recent polling Trump support is dropping among his key group of supporters, blue collar white males. He primarily seems to have taken a big hit based upon his traitorous cowering to Putin in Helsinki as his white male supporters did not like this in any way.

There are other factors though. Wages have sharply fallen under Trump. His tariffs are a disaster leading to his administration offering a $12 billion dollar bailout (bribe) to farmers...money primarily earmarked for corporate farms not for family farmers.

What this "bailout" does is purchases the surplus crops and allows them to be "warehoused" or left to rot and thrown away actually so that these vast surpluses do not drive down the prices Americans pay for their produce. Basically throw out the surplus while people are starving all over the world...including in this country sadly.

American family farmers want nothing to do with this bailout and they know it is wrong and just a bribe to quiet them. They also know it is just a band-aid that does nothing to solve the problem Trump just wants to buy their silence.

In other words, Trumps created a massive issue with his tariffs, now he wants the money of working class Americans...$12 billion...to pay for his idiotic mistake. Enjoy that. And it is just money being burned for the mistake, it does not solve the problem and it helps nobody.

Also, working Americans that voted for Trump are coming to realize they get nothing from the supposed tax cuts, which puts billions more into the pockets of billionaires but will in the end cost working Americans more money than it gives them back. Some Americans if they are lucky would get about $38.00 a week from the Republican tax cuts but that actually goes completely away as the tax cuts remove deductions working Americans used to be able to take but will go away under this tax plan...all while expanding and making permanent billions of dollars in loopholes for billionaires.

The polling is showing Trump voters are starting to get it...and not like it at all...and as time passes it will become more and more evident to them how badly they are being screwed.

Sure, as they drill down on the numbers there is the 30% (this number is supposedly 28% of Republican voters) that support Trump no matter how badly he screws them and that believe all of his lies...that group appears to just place their guns, bigotry, racism, and hatred of this country above all else...and I think there is nothing we can do about those people.

We need Republicans and Republican voters to say enough is enough and the best way to get to them is through their wallets...and Trump is reaching in and taking money from their wallets. Let's see how long they stand for that.
