“Trump is playing to his base.”...WTF does that even mean?

[BrokeLoser]

We hear it all the time right?
It’s generally used in negative context to describe how he refuses to govern on behalf of lowlifes, illegals, anti American unAmericans, criminals, pole puffers, feminazis and crazy men wearing dresses...right?
You people have to let it go...With a nation this divided there is just no way to govern on behalf of all anymore. This president is committed to busting his ass but ONLY for GOOD REAL AMERICANS.
I’m pretty sure nobody sane needs “good, real Americans” defined.
So let it go....get your shit right and learn to appreciate a POTUS willing to fight for our best. After all, you don’t really want a ‘coach’ who writes the playbook around his worst players do you? Not if you ever want to win...right?
Oh wait, that Kenyan dude did exactly that didn’t he?

Everything he says and does is meant to placate people like you.

“People like me”?
Oh you mean positive contributing, law abiding, patriotic, prideful, English speaking people like me?
How fucking terrible.

Trump keeping his campaign promises.
How sad...

Sure, everyone should think just like you, or there's something wrong with them.

So, Trump plays to that.

How many times do you need this answered?

If we were as intelligent as you we would all know that creating a welfare nation is the way to go.
We’re all just too dumb to get it.

 

[Manonthestreet]

It means there isn't enough " nuance" in his message.....think McCain could school him on how to say one thing and do the opposite. And. And some of that compassionate conservatism window dressing too

I suspect that your definition of “real good Americans” would differ from most people’s definitions of “real good Americans”.

My definition of “real good Americans” are people who work hard, show respect for others and their Constituotinal rights. That includes not calling women “feminazis”, or gays “pole puffers”.

It means respecting the law, including laws you personally don’t like, and working to change them through legal means.

It means not supporting those who are damaging the USA at home or abroad. Trump supporters are NOT, by definition, “good Americans”. They are working on behalf of a man who is destroying everything your country built and stands for.

Our founding fathers created a welfare nation. Farms and forests were given away free to poor citizens and immigrants. During that period nothing was more valuable to a poor family than owning a farm.

His base is America.

I guess the leftists are angry that he isn't playing to our enemies, like the previous admin did (and does).

And now the govt seizes the land to "protect" it.....perhaps a return to the days of yesteryear are in order.

If someone has to explain this to you, then you ARE one of his base and he IS playing you.

 

[NightFox]

“Trump is playing to his base.”...WTF does that even mean?

It means he's telling you shit you want to hear regardless of whether it's true or not.

Remember when you were 4 years old and your parents told you that Santa Claus was real because it made you happy? Trump's doing the same thing to his "base".

That statement is absurd on multiple fronts. If you had even a rudimentary understanding of farming especially 100-200 years ago, you would be embarrassed by your ridiculous post.

President Donald Trump won the White House in 2016 due, in large part, to his willingness to play on deep-seated fear of the other.

"They" were invading America,Trump argued.

"They" were challenging "our" values, changing the face of America in ways that were deeply damaging to the country.

In ways large and small, Trump has continued to blow the dog whistle as President -- insisting that on everything from immigration to trade, America is under very serious threat from the "other," and that unless things change, we will lose what is fundamentally American.

Trump took that call up a level and aimed to not only draw a very bright line between "us" and "them" but also to raise the stakes of that made-up fight.

What Trump is doing is using the caravan to play on the fears of the country -- and, in particular, his supporters.

Trump knows what he is doing here.

Look for a relentless focus on the wall and the threats posed by allegedly unfettered immigration between now and November. And it will likely gin up the GOP base.

That won't mean Republicans can dodge the likely hit they will take.

But, it might mitigate it slightly.

But that doesn't make what he's doing presidential. Or right.


Trump's dog whistle on immigration is more like a scream





way to go, you pitifully ignorant terrified dumbos!

the only ones WINNING with this dishonest and divisive rhetoric are the terrorists!

No, the leftists are angry that he’s IS playing to your enemies. Putin’s NATO policy and view is now US policy. Insulting and denigrating your friends and allies while costing up to dictators and murderers.

He’s destroying the trade agreements that made your country the wealthiest nation on earth. Companies are shutting down and laying of workers because of the tariffs.
