“Why Trump’s supporters will never abandon him” (BBC) http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41028733 “To understand why somewhere between 35-38% of Americans consistently approve of the job Mr Trump is doing, you need to reframe the way you look at his voters.
It’s not what they are for that matters, it’s what they are against.
So it’s not that a third of US voters are fervently on the side of Donald Trump – what’s more relevant is that they are adamantly on the opposing side of a culture war that’s been brewing here since the 1980s.
Look at it like that and you can see why it doesn’t really matter what Mr Trump achieves or doesn’t achieve.
“…In a poll out today [Aug 23rd] by Quinnipiac University, 80% of Republicans say they trust Mr Trump more than the media.
No wonder his favorite enemy is the fake news.
What this also means is that if Mr Trump continues to fail to rack up any major legislative achievements that would actually help his supporters, he, and they, have a built-in excuse.”
…the media, the Russia investigation and the Republican Party.
