Trump has been successful as a politician only because he is so needy, so thirsty for affection that during his campaigns he contorted his views to whatever his crowds gave the most applause to. That’s why he did so well – he could read the room, and the room was the American public. But now he isn’t doing big rallies, and his audience has shrunken down to his advisors, his patsies, and whatever comes filtered through Fox News. Of course he is losing his wider audience. Their hopes, goals, wants were never really his. He was just chasing the adoration. Now he’s disconnected and being used by whatever right wing “thinker” gets his attention.
Well, that and the grift. There’s always the grift.
And if not enough people use it that way, it remains wrong, which is what appears to be the point of the above comment
