So far, Moyer estimates he’s sold “thousands” of pro-Trump signs.
How many people ordered signs for Hillary?
“One. That would be one person. Which kind of surprised me given how Democratic this area is,” he said. Moyer said he had requests for oversized Trump signs, small ones, individualized ones: “You name it, people were asking for them.”
“They still ask for them,” he added. “Not much has changed in the sentiments here for Trump.”
That includes his own. Moyer, too, is a registered Democrat who voted for Trump — and yes, he is still optimistic about his presidency.
In the past few months, a CNN producer and a “Scandal” star have called people who voted for Trump “stupid.” Their contempt has registered with voters in this part of the country, and it has only served to escalate their commitment to the president.
Despite his flaws, Trump voters are waving the flag for their underdog candidate in a show of defiance. Many don’t think he is on the ropes, and they believe he will eventually get results. Customers are still coming into Moyer’s shop, requesting pro-Trump signs for the first time, wanting to show their support. They want to send a message: The establishment may hate the president, but his voters have got his back.
Yes, the president can be his own worst enemy. Yes, at times he doesn’t express himself as properly and powerfully as he should. But the story of 2016 has always been about the people — not him.
The same is true of 2017. Trump voters aren’t just changing their party allegiance, they’re crystallizing a new identity: as common-sense Americans bound together against seemingly hostile liberals who appear to disdain their way of life.
And the Democrats have done nothing to win over these voters, nothing.

One of the reasons that Trump won Pennsylvania is the unpopularity of the GOPe. I work in a unionized plant. Trump stickers seem to be on every other lunch pail.

It’s going to take a lot of work but he seems up to it. I just wish he had more help in DC.
Hit piece disguised as a positive piece.
“Despite his flaws.....the president can be his own worse enemy...”
Damn straight this is a thinly disguised hit piece.
Here in Maine’s Second Congressional District, where Trump beat Hillary by 10 points, I am seeing more Trump bumper stickers....on not only bumpers but also car windows....now than I did during the campaign last year.
Agree. This is a hit piece.The writer blames Trump for the failure of the Obamacare repeal and no tax reform.
I’m not so sure about that. Go back to 2016, and you’ll find that Salena Zito was writing some of the best and most incisive articles about the groundswell of Trump’s support in the Rust Belt. She had her finger on the pulse of PA, Ohio and Michigan in a way that nobody else did.
Why Democrats in Western PA are Voting Trump
You can summarize the article with one quote that was highlighted partway through the article:
"Every single person who walked into Lee Supply’s training room was a registered Democrat -- and pledged to vote for Trump."
“And the Democrats have done nothing to win over these voters, nothing.”
And they will continue to do nothing. Truly they are addlepated.
But, we MUST have an immigration moratorium. NOW. legal and illegal, it needs to stop for a while until we sort things out. Otherwise these lefty idiots will creep back into power.
Sure they did; they told all the working white men they were privileged racists.../s
You are nutz. Salena Zito has been with Trump voters for over a year and a half.
I think she started as most people..she thought it was not possible for him to go anywhere.
She was one of the few to report the facts on the ground...
I think she had him winning Pennsylvania
