'He don't care about anyone but himself'

‘Worn out’ Trump supporters are getting sick of the president’s antics

November 25, 2019

SKY PALMA

In the Republican stronghold of Fort Thomas, Kentucky, President Trump’s ways are growing thin on some residents. As The Wall Street Journal points out, the growing displeasure with Trump’s antics is a warning sign for the GOP in 2o2o.

The “overwhelmingly white” city’s demographic mirror those where Republican candidates have recently struggled, and Campbell County GOP chairwoman Sarah Cameron says she sees Trump support waning amongst those who supported him four years ago.

“I think people are getting worn out by the combativeness that is the political environment of America today,” Cameron told WSJ. “I am not anti-Trump, but I am anti-incivility. And I think that is a common sentiment among the Republicans in my circle.”

“He spreads hate speech,” Booth said. “He lies all the time.”

In another sign that the tide is changing, 66-year registered Democrat Barbara Rowland says she used to call herself a “closet liberal,” but now she feels more at ease with expressing her liberal views.

“I got more vocal,” she said. “I’ve seen a turnaround.”
