No politician should do things to please his base. He should do what is right for the country.Or should he consider all Americans as he conducts the running of his Administration and policies?
Why/why not?
This is what politicians have ass-backwards today. They aren't leaders. They are followers of the political winds of the mob mentality.
A leader tells the people what should be done, and convinces the people why that is so. It is his job to offer a plan, and defend it.
If the people are convinced, then they elect you.
As a world class and long-practiced huckster, Trump is very good at determining what the mob wants to hear. The mob does not know what is right or wrong any more. They have been completely unmoored from their principles.
Trump is not even in the same Universe as leadership. He is a taker. A user. An exploiter. A con artist.
