This is actually hilarious that you think Donald Trump does. Hate to break it to you, he doesn’t care about you at all.


Perhaps, but he sells it way better than any other politician including some prominent GOP politicians. Democrats don't even try to hide their contempt and disgust for the working class anymore.

The primary reason? Can’t speak for everyone but for me it’s the fact that the war machine wants him dead.

This is just comical. Is that why over 200 former prominent Republicans have endorsed Harris? At least Harris has plans to try to help the middle class. Trump only cares about helping the rich.

Project 2025 plans to defund Medicare and Social security. How is that going to help the working class? Are you gonna fund your mother and father retirement or their medical expenses? That seems like a burden on the working class.

People hate the government and the media, and Trump positioned himself as the enemy of both.

You may not like it and it may be a con job, but working class baws think elite Dems have left them behind -- Trump stepped in and grabbed that support.

I have voted for GEOTUS mainly because I want to appease him so he does not shoot lightning from his fingertips at me if I have to go to the camps because I once got up to urinate during an Apprentice marathon. Our GEOTUS is truly magnificent and all powerful, but alas he does hold grudges.

He’s an outsider. Not part of the uni-party political elite. It seems like he genuinely wants to save America. And make America great again.

He doesn’t need political power to enrich himself whereas >90% of Washington politicians are doing it to enrich themselves. He has a fortune to lose not gain.

And then Trump’s kids and grandkids are also pretty amazing which shows he’s a decent man. How many super rich and powerful men end up having frick ups for kids? A lot. But not Trump.

They're protecting the gravy train?

By importing dangerous criminal aliens and housing them in working class neighborhoods? By criminalizing political dissent? By weaponizing mental illness to further erode the family? By driving up grocery prices?

Hahahahaha. So 2 people made diabolical plans to overthrow the government of the most powerful nation in the world with the help of a few hundred supporters that brought no weapons to the capital. Stunning conclusion.

Trump isn't popular by definition, but if you're asking why he gets votes the reason is going to vary by group. Some people who will vote for him love everything about him, others see him as just a preferable option to Harris.

He's not an establishment politician. His unfiltered speech. His willingness to fight for Americans.

Even if you hate Trump, there has to be something about the people who he’s bringing on with him

Elon
Vivek
JD Vance
Tulsi
RFK Jr
Byron

Etc etc etc

If you still hate Trump and don’t like any of these people then you are a left liberal Democrat and there’s nothing more the man can do to try to win over your vote. TDS is real

Although I doubt he can pull it off, I hold out hope he can expose the entire system as a shite show. The US government needs a reboot, and he is the only one that may actually pull it off. Everyone else would never even try.

Seeing this is disheartening.

Trump fed his economy with debt, just like Joe and Obama did.

We used to deficit spend to create jobs when we need the economy stimulated, now its the new normal, regardless of whether its needed or not.

Overheating the economy is how you get mass immigration.

Heres the issue. I know he doesn't.

But he makes the average person feel like he does.

the underlying reason? he actually fights back, unapologetically, against the leftist hordes. unlike pretty much any modern R i can think of.
