Your thought process is part of the problem of a failing nation.
These people are used to a President who talks and looks the part..
While that administration stabs them in the back, over and over lololol
Kinda reminds me of Kevin Bacon's character in Animal House.. Thank You Sir, may I have another?!?!
Precisely why Trump needs to stop kissing up and trying to pander to the low voter percentage group / good old tried and true Democratic demographic. He needs to take the same route he did in 2016, just with a different group. He's not saying enough, not doing enough and not calling it out enough in my opinion to garner much excitement.
His majority voter base is white non college educated men or folks in general. He needs to continue to target this demographic, just those who hate this system, who do not trust the Government as it stands, remain fiercely Independent... BUT... have had enough of the [BLEEP] between the Covid lockdowns, the stagnant growth economically and the increasingly [BLEEP] prices that keep going up at the pump and the grocery store.
Non college educated or not. This is his group that he needs to shift his focus towards and start speaking to. This is the extra 3% - 5% he's going to wish he had in his back pocket on election day when he's out here [BLEEP] around trying to pander towards a group of people that have the Democrats DEEPLY rooted into their thought process and feelings.
It's obvious who the media now favors. Because they did a complete 180 on Harris and now she's the [BLEEP] talk of the town. She's Queen [BLEEP] for the rest of the way now. She's going to keep getting soft ball questions and she'll have months to prepare with her buyers and teammates to actually hammer down and answer the tough questions at the final debating stage.
Trump's going to continue to get called everything under the sun. Nobody gives a [BLEEP] now in the media about his near death experience with some punk [BLEEP] kid that tried to take him out all "alone", according to the media. It's all about perception. Whether we like it or not. That is the truth of it. The average American is a [BLEEP] moron, educated or not, they're pretty much everywhere, completely embedded and embroiled with their savior's in their little fancy suits and ties.
They know what they're doing. They are using celebrities to elevate the non informed or lazy voter, who will not do the hard work and dig up the bones and skeletons of these people. Who will refuse to follow the money of where these candidates policies are actually coming from.
When they have Megan the Stallion out there shaking her [BLEEP], Taylor Swift out there condemning Trump (With Trump trying to publicly shame her over her music deals and money, like a [BLEEP] high schooler, instead of treating her like the bought and paid for meat puppet that she is from the left). He's just alienating himself from a group of people that were already 50/50 on him instead of speaking to the people that he needs to rein in and rein in [BLEEP] fast.
2016 was an interesting election. You had Clinton with a little more than 3M more votes than Trump in popularity. Trump ultimately won out the rust belt and therefore won the Electoral Vote. That race came down to the usual swing vote states. Losing any combination of some of these states like Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin & Missouri could royally [BLEEP] him this year if he's not careful. Just like 2020. (We can cry rigged this, rigged that, it is what it is, on paper, he lost some of those states).
You don't need much to win in 2024. I think his margin of victory will begin to dwindle if he doesn't tighten the [BLEEP] up and start speaking to his larger audience that's out there for the taking.
