I don’t like this Tweet. I don’t like insulting a woman’s appearance, even though I don’t like Stormy Daniels. There are people that like it and think it’s funny, but they are people who are his diehard supporters that he can count on come election day. What he is looking for in the election are women voters, moderate Republicans, and independents. I just watched a panel of people CNN had who regret voting for Trump. I honestly am skeptical if those people voted for him at all, but it was clear they had swallowed all the MSM talking points on him. Tweets such as these are the sort of things people cite on social media or refer to if they say they regret their vote. Personal attacks, particularly on women, repels people. Maybe it doesn’t here, but it does in key segments Trump needs.

I noticed during the campaign & even after he became President, when he had one of these controversies or Tweets, his poll numbers would swing, sometimes about 5 points. I was just thinking that he hadn’t Tweeted anything controversial and hadn’t said anything the media could use against him at rallies, and then I saw this Tweet. Maybe this won’t affect anything, but if it gets media play, I think it will hurt. His poll numbers are the best in a long time too.

We picked up moderate and independent women after the Kavanaugh confirmation and accusations - we may have lost some too, but I feel like we gained some too. Never Trump type conservatives were coming over too. I have been looking at swing races and even some Dem districts, and it looks promising for us. Remember, the opposition uses things like Christine Ford, these Tweets, etc. to paint the GOP as a party who doesn’t care about women. Don’t give them ammo. These Tweets aren’t helpful.

I agree, this can only lose potential voters, not a smart move for Trump, still a Trumper to the core though

However, Trump is smart, sometimes I think he's screwed up only to have it turn out like gold. The media will react over this and big time which will server two purposes.

First, it's the only way Stormy's smack down in the courts will ever be reported on, Secondly the media will again embarrass themselves by focusing on a school yard taunt, Thirdly, the left cannot stay on message while Trump is "triggering" them

Seems like it would have been better to attack her creepy strip shows, called make america horny again. Most people would think that’s disgusting. But goofing on someone’s appearance is something many people, men or women, can identify with. Not everyone looks like Melania or Ivanka.

I don’t know. I just hopes this turns out the way POTUS is counting on. Nobody knows media and show business like him!
