With all due respect to The Independent, it’s only a “total fail” if it costs him votes. And Trump voters don’t read The Independent. Trump voters think they owned the libs with that one.
He doesn’t gain much from pandering to his own supporters. There are still some people that are on the fence, not many, but a few. People that do believe in regulation cutting but also think the President should be a role model. This will probably tip a very small number of them, which matters in a close race.
For Republicans, they are in the minority. But their will to vote is much higher. Pandering to his own supporters encourages the get out the vote effort in ways that Democrats are simply unable to do.
Trump voters just need to be told they owned the libs to think they owned the libs. Their entire worldview is actively created on a daily basis by their political idols, and the media puppets that represent them.
According to r/conservative Biden called Trump’s supporters garbage, so Trump dressed as a garbage man to show solidarity and support for his supporters. Ro ahow he’s with them.
Which makes sense.
But to those who only get the left media it went like this: Comedian called Puerto Rico a floating pile of garbage - so Trump dressed as a garbage man.
That doesn’t make sense.
So there’s a reason Trump is currently ahead on the average of the polls. Because what he does, works… Which is incredibly good news for Republicans, and bad news for anyone else.
I dislike it too, greatly. I just wrote more about it here… And it’s upset me to be realizing this so late in the game, when there’s so little chance of changing anything.
I touched on it in my comment, it is definitely an attention grabber, and for Trump any coverage is good coverage. It’s still difficult for me to see how Puerto Ricans are supposed to believe Trump saying “I love Puerto Rico I’ll take care of Puerto Rico, I’ve never even heard of this comedian who led my set”, while sitting in shotgun of a garbage truck…

If there are any R voters left in the Trump camp who have the capacity to be disgusted, this might push more of them to vote Harris/Walz
To be fair, if they ended up too disgusted with Trump, they are much more likely to not vote at all than they are to vote for Harris.
That is also fine!
It’s better than nothing, I suppose.
