Maybe there are a lot of Trumpsters that are unfazed by the naysayers.
I have a tradition of watching the evening ABC news, supposedly one of the most watched news programs on TV. A couple of times now there has been a commercial as a scare-mercial on getting immigrants to self-deport. And a couple of times one from a source us taxpayers probably pay for saying how great the Trump economy is doing. It's filled with the usual unsubstantiated figures on how well inflation, the price of gas, and other indicators are doing. I have to say it's pretty strategic marketing. Seems like the dems could learn a lesson there.
