His supporters saw something else: A champion of Middle America who is taking on the establishment and making good on his campaign promises to put the country first. […]

Richelle Kirk of Logan, West Virginia, watched some of Trump’s news conference on Thursday and didn’t see any head-scratching comments from the president. “I back him 100 percent,” said the 42-year-old stay-at-home mom. “You either love it or get out, is my opinion.”

I can’t believe the same people who thought Trump was going to lose, still don’t get it or can’t understand it. Do they really think they have turned anybody against Trump since he won? This is the same crap that got him elected.

Let’s not forget how the media reported with absolute glee that businesses were dropping Ivanka’s clothing line because it wasn’t selling well. No news at all that her products jumped to number one on Amazon. News media trying to destroy any Trump product.
