I didn't downvote, but I don't think this seems like a very well thought out description of Trump's behavior. He doesn't care if he "will be fought", he wants to be fought, dramatically, because that's the show he's putting on. The fight is the whole point.
- HarHarVeryFunny 1y agoPerhaps, but who's the audience? Trump's 1st term fighting the "fake news" media was popular with MAGA and didn't cost them anything. Fighting rest of world on trade might also be popular in theory "trump being tough!", but will MAGA voters really eat it up if they are personally suffering financially as a result (& they'll be suffering the most since red state incomes tend to be lower than blue state ones). Of course maybe the audience is Trump himself. He enjoys playing tough guy and could care less about the people who voted him in, or anyone else for that matter.
- sanderjd 1y agoNo, I don't think people are going to eat it up. I think he's screwing this all up, badly. He's an adept showman but very far from being infallible.
