Despite a litany of scandals and looming indictments from the Russia investigation, support for President Donald Trump, among his core supporters, doesn’t seem to be dwindling.
A recent Occidental Public Polling survey of Trump voters showed 89 percent of them still supported him.
According to the latest OPP poll, several Trump supporters dismissed reports of Trump’s scandals and legal woes as “fake news.” One Trump supporter “Bob” from Arizona said, “at least we have a real American, white guy back in charge.”
Jason Johnson, a political writer for The Root, said Trump supporters are unlikely to ever abandon him because he promises a return to an America that doesn’t exist anymore.
“This is why poll after poll shows supporters sticking with Trump no matter how many times he fails or completely betrays his policy promises. They never expected him to change anything, and they never will. All they need to know is that he drives liberals crazy (and to them, “liberals” are anyone who isn’t a Trump supporter), that he’s white and male, and doesn’t challenge Americans to grow up and change,” said Johnson.
I would love it if they did an DNA on themselves to find out how White are they. One of them looks like she has American Indian background…..You’d never know and you will ultimately have to eat your words!
Stupidity is presented in all races.
Very few people are not multiracial. My nephews and nieces are multiracial and they are beautiful. Trump is not presidential in manner but his anti -globalist policies are beneficial to all Americans. Unemployment is down and GDP is up over 3 percent for 2 quarters in a row. That’s good for EVERYONE
“…..unlikely to ever abandon him because he promises a return to an America that doesn’t exist anymore.”
It never really existed. The world seemed perfect to them, they lived a middle-class life that generations before struggled to create. One the fruit of the labor was ripened a generation of white middle-class was happy to ignore the problems of other people. Ignorance is bliss.
I remember growing up in the 80’s it seemed like perfection, but it was not while I played and rode my bike, my goverment was funding death squads in Central America. But. I didn’t know that. Knowledge has made us aware of problems that we would otherwise ignore.
That America started dying thanks to the GOP, first they went after the unions, then they went after taxes and wages.
I grew up it the 50;$ still u doooo nothing stole it away, wrecked it, looted it, burned it, not _worked for it. I an retired now. I didn’t vote for him. Not qualified enough. Like none of u don’t want me running a gourmet restaurant.( u know nothing about cooking ) BUT I WILL ENJOY U DOOOO NOTHING, LOOTERS, BURNERS, NON WORKERS DONALD TRUMP PUTTING U ALL IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SHIT PILE _WERE U ALL BELONG.
It truly is sad that these people foolishly chose the most incompetent, intellectually bereft, and temperamentally unsuitable man to ever occupy the WH simply because he is a white man. He cares nothing about them and they are in for a painfully rude awakening when they are hit hard by the reality of his regressive, harmful policies. They deserve no sympathy because they have chosen to vote against their own best interests with their eyes wide open. If they want that return to what was a non-existent America in the first place, they are in for a huge disappointment.
But, He is a successful businessman, I saw him on a Tellyvision show about his business. Unlike our last President who was a comoonunity organizer. Ma, where is my beer so I can watch Duck Dynasty.
And those are the very people you are supposed to unite with to make “Merka” great again. Ok.
Did any of you watch this. This was pre election. A town that was historically ruled by Dems and had the life sucked out of it..This was not even a little about race..It was about survival and hope. Yes they are dirt poor and all they knew was the mining economy. A sad state of affairs all around.
Uneducated; little or no future beyond government hand outs. Sure the repubs are your friends!
Why is there an image and video of poor whites in Appalachia attached to this article but the article is not about those people at all? The article is about racists. I am quite sure you could have found them in your own neighborhood. Or, actually, given the hateful and xenophobic tenor of this piece, those of you who put this page together could serve as the racists for this article. It has always been my experience that when xenophobia is so obvious in an individual, all the other hates are there, too.
To quote Forrest Gump stupid is is stupid does how idiotic can they be
Poor stupid sons of bitches ….he could care less about you and will do noting for you…ever.
Seriously, how can you be that stupid????
Pat, The left arm of the turquoise colored shirt person seems to be sporting a KKK emblem, these eyes may be dim but it appears to be.
So he could weaken our country by creating a mass divide by race and economic statuses so that Putin can easily take our land and position as global leaders? Your hate is that strong? You are willing give up everything just to make sure I don’t have anything? Wow. But I love you still.
So Trump could weaken our country by creating a mass divide by race and economic statuses and you would still side with him? Then, Putin could easily take our land while we’re fighting each other and Russia could be positioned as the global leader. You would still side with him? Is your hate that strong? You’re willing to surrender the flag? You’re willing to give up everything just to make sure I don’t have anything? Wow. But you will never make me hate, lose my light because I am victorious in the end.

So what NOVA magazine is really saying is those gosh dern hillbillies are to blame for electing Trump? Not Putin’s dollars? Or the lock step Republican Party? Or Facebook? Got it. It’s so convenient to blame the poor. It’s so convenient to paint one region of the U.S. with one really broad brush while you do NOTHING to change the desperate poverty it endures by demanding better for your fellow countrymen. Continue, that faux intellectualism looks great on you. Cheers!
Amen to that! I am a devout, dyed-in-the-wool liberal from a Red State, and I am tired of the coastal elite bristling at that label as they go to the lowest common denominator of the flyover states and pass it off as typical. Meanwhile, they go to Wall Street or Rodeo Drive to represent the Blue State ilk.
This country cannot come together until this culture war from both sides ends. It is what is keeping us all apart.
Reminds me of a book I recently re-read “predictably irrational”. This is truly scary that people will support a dingbat no better what he says or does or what governments he colluded with to attain his end.
The German people believed that Hitler had a secret weapon up until the very end. People believe what they what fits into their own agenda. Willful ignorance has been present all through history – the is how people like Trump get elected.
