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.
