What is your operational definition of “Trump base”? I voted for him in both election. I believe he was the best candidate of the ones running.Would you consider yourself part of Trumps base?That’s why I voted for him? Really? You’re 100% wrong.Trumps whole thing is anti government anti establishment and thats why much of his base follows him. That’s the element he is going to keep leaning intoThere is just no normal common sense to this.He has the self disciple of a spoiled 9 year old child. That’s not an exaggerationSuch a party uniter!
PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — It was supposed to be a unifying weekend for a Republican Party at war with itself over former President Donald Trump’s divisive leadership. But Trump himself shattered two days of relative peace in his closing remarks to the GOP’s top donors when he insulted the party’s Senate leader and his wife.Ahead of the invitation-only speech at Trump’s new home inside his Mar-a-Lago resort, the former president’s advisers said he would emphasize his commitment to his party and Republican unity.Trump veered sharply from prepared remarks Saturday night and instead slammed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., as a “stone-cold loser” and mocked McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao, who was Trump’s transportation secretary.Trump also said he was “disappointed” in his vice president, Mike Pence, and used a profanity in assessing McConnell, according to multiple people in attendance who were not authorized to publicly discuss what was said in a private session. He said McConnell had not thanked him properly for putting Chao, who was labor secretary under President George W. Bush, in his Cabinet.The comments left some attendees feeling uncomfortable.Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich did not defend Trump as he left Palm Beach on Sunday.“We are much better off if we keep focusing on the Democrats. Period,” Gingrich said.

Trump has NO self control.. What a stupid thing to do.
I guess he'd rather be King of a shrinking kingdom than share the glory. This is psychological fodder they'll be studying forever.
But how does the flock convince itself that jettisoning political allies is going to help them get more votes? How does compacting into a smaller and smaller, paranoid world work out for them politically?
This is just so fuckin' bizarre.
I said much of Trumps base, not you specifically.
