I disagree. If Trump were a normal politician you would be correct, he should trim his sales not to antagonize one group or another.

In Trump’s case I disagree. POTUS is the original WYSIWYG
He tries to be a bit gentler for people who are not used to the battlefield but that is about it.

If people care more about appearance than results, if they judge by propriety not forthrightness they will never get Trump & they don’t understand the dynamics of American exceptionalism or the factions that have been sucking her dry and betraying her sovereignty. Such people need to get over themselves and think about what is good for the Country. They need to ask themselves whether POTUS is telling the truth about his accomplishments and if anyone else would tell that truth. They need to ask themselves if anyone else would have been able to stand firm and fight for our Country as he has.

They need to understand that we are at war and America can be defeated while people quibble about superficial things.

My point is simply pragmatic. He already has loyal votes from those of us who look past the bluster. Would he lose us if he eased his tone just a bit? No. He would not, but he would more likely gain votes from those who find his tone offputting. Now you can advise those folks to look past the personality, but people aren’t likely to take that advice simply because we think they should. Nevertheless, we need those votes!

You know, we disliked it when Obama kept going on about how much he personally did something. People were actually count the number of times he referred to himself in his speeches. It was a big joke.

Trump can and should continue to defend himself of course, and I disagree with Tucker’s point about Trump not knowing how to get things done. However, no one really likes a braggart. It’s off putting and frankly childish, and I guarantee it’s going to needlessly cost Trump votes.
