Why do republicans overwhelmingly like Trump? I canāt figure it out. I get that the tax bill was a āwinā for the GOP (finally the majority in both chambers can actually pass something!), but is that it? The economy isnāt doing bad, Iāll concede, but Trumpās policies have nothing to do with that besides making investors happy with his rhetoric. This is good for the supply side of the economy, but it does nothing for the demand side. Wages are still WAY behind on inflation (and yes, the problem got worse under Obama).
Beyond that, the only campaign promises Trump has kept were through executive order. Should anyone find that impressive? Iām sure he wishes he could just sign his name to make the border wall happen, but our REPUBLICAN controlled Congress was not on board with it primarily because the practicality of building a border as designed makes no goddamn sense. They could fund the wall all they could, but they knew the actual construction would go nowhere.
