Anecdotal. Only supports you talk to people that are influenced by the liar media. Ask them why and you’ll see them stutter “uh”, “everybody uh”, “his ego uh” or go silent, or they’ll offer confused, unfounded anecdotes like yours.
Such people were there in 2015, 2016. Ignore them or politely ask them why.
I always ask why and some give bs answers like you stated but others answer more fully. They don't like him even if I point out all the good he did in office.
Trump has to become more likable to more in some way to win in my opinion.
