When Trump fails to deliver on his economic promises that is when shit will get real

[DemocratSinceBirth]

He promised to reverse the trade deficit, eliminate the national debt. make coal king again, and produce four percent GDP growth.

A lie will be put to all that bullshit right in time for the mid terms. As an aside you had to be an imbecile to believe him.

This will be even more devastating to his and the Deplorables political fortunes because there is no reservoir of good will for him.

1. No, his brain washed supporters are in the cult of thump

They will make excuses or blame Obama or the Democrats for blocking him. Even though the rethugs control everything. Fox will continue banging the drum for him. His brain washed zombie supporters will follow him off the cliff. Unfortunately taking the rest of us with them.

Remember there are still 30% of the country who stood by bush. I expect the same amount standing by chump as he screws them over and they lose their money.

4. Heck, even if the GDP goes negative, his voters will view it as validation of his vision of dystopia

even if he's the one causing it

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. You can't run a country nor win elections with 30% approval.

[dalton99a]

11. Very true - statistically

But this asshole has defied expectations and fooled (most) statisticians.

6. Agree. Hate radio, Fox and reich wing preachers

will blame all of PEEOTUS 45 fails on the demon democrats for sure.

We need to forget about these brainwashed deplorable idiots who are never going to be on our side and concentrate on the 40% of the non insane that didn't vote in the last election.

8. The GOP was in shambles by 2008.

That's why we had 257 House seats, 59 Senate seats, 28 Governor seats, and the presidency.

2. I believe the moment will occur

when realization that he's actually making things worse penetrates their thick skulls.

[MineralMan]

3. With Trump, It's All Shit.

That's the bottom line.

[Mr. Ected]

5. There is absolutely NOTHING that could cause the effect you describe in the OP

Not with the disinformation network in full swing, deflecting, distracting, and outright lying to their target audience, the Deplorables.

When a Republican President and Congress fail, the propaganda machine always pins the blame on the former Democratic President and the minority party of Congress. And the idiots gobble it up every single stinking time.

[oberliner]

7. No it won't

His fans will blame Democrats.

Fox News will back up this view.

9. It's like school. The dullest kids never got it.

12. Me, I think it'll take a recession

I think it'll take a recession for the Trumpkins' folly to become apparent to the clueless in the Heartland. The Obama Recovery may not have stalled yet, but it's going to take a downturn for the wing-nuts and the people too lazy or careless to be more selective about who they send to office to wise up.

[NCDem777]

13. I would disagree

The big thing with large parts so-called "small town America" is that it is insanely vindictive. They don't care that their lot is shit so long as they can make someone else's lot shitty. We've been acting like they don't know his policies would poison their air and water, close their hospitals, make it harder for them to get healthcare, make it easier for them to be screwed over by corporations and so on.

But they can ignore all of that if it means that the mean old city people suffer as well.

[dalton99a]

14. Yep. They'll stick with Trump if he makes people "below them" suffer more.

"below them" = not white and/or not Christian

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. I am sure there were still German Hitler fans in April of 1945.

I don't expect his approval to fall to zero.
