A lot of people here invested a lot of energy and hope with Trump. His Presidency was very rewarding in many ways, but he’s also let us down in big ways. Some people have a difficult time coming to terms with said letdowns, especially after investing so much energy and promotion into Trump. It’s hard to admit failures, especially when many of us were very vocal and even zealous in our support of Trump. We vocalized our way unwavering support with family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, etc. Admitting his weaknesses and failures is a hard lump of pride to swallow but it’s necessary if we’re to move forward in a positive way. It’s necessary even if Trump is in fact out best hope for 2024. Maybe we can steer him in the right direction with some of his blatantly obvious flaws. It seemed to work with the jabs as he did eventually back off of the jab promoting at his rallies after he for sure must have gotten the message that it wasn’t popular with his base. As Limbaugh said, the only person who has the ability to separate Trump from his base is Trump himself. We need to be honest with him, knowing he will hear us and will likely respond by shifting his focus and/or policies.
