The die-hard Trump supporters you can't convince of anything. Right now he could sign off on Child Day Care subsidies, and they would be cheering it on while blasting Obamacare--LOL
You know if any other REPUBLICAN had proposed subsidies for Child Day Care, they would have had to sit down and write their own political obituary.
TRUMP gets away with it, because he get support from people that are so stupid, that they don't know their stupid, as explained below by a nuero scientist:
- The Dunning-Kruger Effect:
The seemingly obvious solution would be to try to reach those people through political ads, expert opinions, and logical arguments that educate with facts. Except none of those things seem to be swaying any Trump supporters from his side, despite great efforts to deliver this information to them directly.
The Dunning-Kruger effect explains that the problem isn’t just that they are misinformed; it’s that they are completely unaware that they are misinformed. This creates a double burden.
Studies have shown that people who lack expertise in some area of knowledge often have a cognitive bias that prevents them from realizing that they lack expertise. As psychologist David Dunning puts it in an op-ed for Politico, “The knowledge and intelligence that are required to be good at a task are often the same qualities needed to recognize that one is not good at that task — and if one lacks such knowledge and intelligence, one remains ignorant that one is not good at the task. This includes political judgment.” Essentially, they’re not smart enough to realize they’re dumb.
And if one is under the illusion that they have sufficient or even superior knowledge, then they have no reason to defer to anyone else’s judgment. This helps explain why even nonpartisan experts — like military generals and Independent former Mayor of New York/billionaire CEO Michael Bloomberg — as well as some respected Republican politicians, don’t seem to be able to say anything that can change the minds of loyal Trump followers.
Out of immense frustration, some of us may feel the urge to shake a Trump supporter and say, “Hey! Don’t you realize that he’s an idiot?!” No. They don’t. That may be hard to fathom, but that’s the nature of the Dunning-Kruger effect — one’s ignorance is completely invisible to them."

And this video is a very good example. Now keep in mind that you and I know that this is a fake set-up for Trump supporters. But they don't know it. Study their faces, their reactions and listen to their replies. It's actually amazing. I've had Trump supporters say well these were just actors. If these people are actors they all deserve Academy awards for their performance. Watch their reactions when they actually think they're talking to Donald Trump via the telephone.
