What I sense out here is a simmering angry and extremely sullen MAJORITY population coast to coast. TrumPf has basically gone back on everything he promised people who thought he would improve their lives. His base will stick with him because it was never with him about economics to start with. As long as he caters to their hate / prejudices and resentments they'll be happy with whatever else he does. In nine months though I expect all the same BS from a million Russian bots online. The good news is WE all know now it's already started and will just ramp up. More problematically will be the amped up efforts by the GOP and TrumPutin to game the election system anyway they can. With all that the GOP and TrumPutin is facing a BIG BLUE WAVE.

This is very good, this explains his support. It doesn't matter what he does, or even how adversely it affects them and their families. It's about appealing on the emotional level.
