In his second term, Trump is looking and sounding insulated even from the voters who put him back in the White House.
“common touch”???
NBC. For fuck’s sake.
The radical left-wing media, folks
Chance to talk to his voters? TACO
policy decisions? TACO
Tuesday? TACO.I like tacos. Why couldn’t it have been “LIVER?”
If he’s perceived as oblivious to people’s day-to-day concerns, he’s at risk of losing a vital grassroots connection that is a source of Republican fealty.
Oblivious to their day-to-day concerns/, you say? Like someone who is so out of touch with the common person they only just learned what ‘groceries’ are? (Daily Show clip on Youtube)
The only “touch” Donny knows is when he was on Epstein’s island.
The Cheeto touch ™️
“He’s just Plain Folks like us, and so Jesusy!”

There are some lessons here in the article that I think other politicians can learn from. We’re often baffled why some people like Trump so much. It explains how he’s able (from the perspective of a supporter) feel raw, authentic and validate their concerns.
Of course we don’t like him because we study his actions, not his words and know that the “solutions” he’s proposing aren’t going to help his supporters or help anyone except perhaps the richest of the richest or rather the very wealth people within his inner circle and even then it seems like he’s not helping all of the rich or anybody because he’s hurting the economy which impacts us all no matter how rich or poor.
So I think the lesson is a politician who could evoke a similar feeling of authenticity without the divisiveness paired with real progressive solutions that will help the average American would do very well in an election and as president.
