\u201cWhy is Trump popular? Can\u2019t people see that a lot of it is all an act and showmanship?\u201d
\n-Progressives, Democrats, Liberals, RINOs, Legacy Media
\nThis line of attack and argument has been used for a decade now to no avail against supporters of Trump. Calling him fascist, calling his supporters fascist (and Nazis, ofc), insinuating that everyone is stupid (low-information is the code phrase) to believe that he is anything but the Devil incarnate is the only approach the Left continues to take. They keep missing the one element to the enduring popularity of Trump:\u00a0Many believe that he actually loves America.<\/strong>\u00a0That\u2019s it.
\nLook at the full transcript of his initial speech in 2015 when he came down the escalator to announce he was running for president. Read it in its entirety and notice something missed from the media coverage that a lot of Americans picked up on. While MSM focused in on the comments about illegal immigration on the southern border and how much of a meanie Trump was for saying out loud not everyone coming to the country will be flag-waving, apple-pie eating Americans, the important meat of the speech centered on the plight of large swathes of America where the financialization of the economy had left them in the dust. This spoke to those who remembered the mockery of phrases like, \u201cLearn to Code\u201d and \u201cBitter clingers to religion and guns.\u201d Long memories of promises not kept by past \u201cconservatives\u201d extolling the false benefits of NAFTA or free trade agreements. How no one in political blinked an eye as their towns and cities were hollowed out from these policies. The GOP \u2018Grifted off Patriotism\u201d for decades, showing hardly the slightest concern for their political base.
\nHe isn\u2019t perfect and we all know that. Yet, just by a figure like him occupying the American political landscape he has pulled back a curtain and revealed to many how vacuous the platitudes are from Progressives and their sycophant media truly are. For this, identifying the powerful forces working against the American people, he has done the entire country a tremendous service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
