There was always a bit of a “show” aspect to Trump’s presidency. He loves the limelight and at times it bordered on narcissism. Again, I supported him every way I could, especially through donations. But like you, I had increasing concerns that some voters were turned off by his outsized personality.
Yeah, my pop co-runs an airport car service, and so politics would often come up with passengers, lotta comments from ppl complaining about Trumps ego, especially when he put his name on the stim checks. People saying they wouldnt vote Biden but they were tired of the daily Trump drama etc so they’d just not vote. My dads a Trump guy and voted for him both times but even he was annoyed by that check thing.
Trump’s entertaining for us but you gotta be able to get the indy vote too. Especially when you’re facing phony vote machines. You cant spare any votes. The twitter thing and constant feuds were not beneficial, especially when you’re punching down to somebody as low on the totem pole like Morning Joe etc. I just wish he had gotten some solid advisers to reign him in a bit, that knew how to navigate the swamp.
