From the minute that Limbaugh and Hannity adopted him in the campaign, Trump has been focused like a laser on one thing, and one thing only, period: The Base.He has concentrated on the border issue because no other issue scares and enrages them more than that.That's all there is to this.
I don't watch cable/TV news so I don't know their take on this. The only place I've seen where people get all worked up over this caravan issue is in this forum. In my community, health care is the major issue. The economy, yeah but the farmers up around here can't stand trump now due to his tariffs, so I've heard.
If you were to listen to talk radio for just a few days, much of this would make absolute sense to you. The terms, the opinions, even the thought processes are all absolutely the same and completely predictable.
It's already known that Hannity and Trump are very close, and I absolutely guarantee you that Hannity has drilled "The Base" into Trump's head. Trump's actions bear that out.
