I find this foolish and poor strategy. I think it will tend to turn off more voters than gain new ones. Trump doesn’t need to do this, IMO.
You are right Trump does not need to do this. He does it because he likes it. Any adversary of his who happens to be less wealthy and less powerful has gotten this treatment. Folks with power who stood up to him simply saw Trump slip quietly away. He had run ins with Giuliani and both Cuomos and shut his mouth and walked away. He hit a real nerve with immigration and that is important, but he is a despicable human being whose lifetime goal has been the deification of all things Trump. This could be the first presidential election where I don’t vote. I cannot vote for Trump, I won’t vote for Bush , I am uneasy with voting for a senator and I see Clinton as evil. Guess I will do what many Freepers did in ‘08 & ‘12 and skip line one.
