It was REALLY funny watching Fox and Trump supporters repeatedly claim he was going to pivot, and he was going to stop the tweeting and act presidential, and then he read from a teleprompter, which was a cardinal sin from the years 2009-2017, and was declared presidential. And now they don’t care that he never pivoted and isn’t presidential.
Credit where it is due - it is amazing how easily Donald won so many so-called conservatives over with his lies and flimsy bombast. The man knew his audience.
I think he got lucky when he announced and started off with his racist platform against Mexicans. But it stuck, and he did quickly realize how he could play his supporters like a fiddle. They still eat it up like clockwork.
“And by the way, you know all of the rhetoric: ‘Thousands points of light.’ What the hell was that?” Trump asked his audience. “What does that mean?”
“I know one thing: ‘Make America Great Again’ we understand. ‘Putting America First’ we understand. ‘Thousand points of light?’ I never got that one. What the hell is that? Has anyone figured that out? It was put out by a Republican.”
