Why the Trumpers feel the economy is bad.....
1. Most of trumps base lives off of the government. So, under republican ideology, cuts to welfare is just that, low income. With sky rocketing stock market prices, goods increases, while welfare remains below the standard to live off of.
2. Those that dont live off of welfare, but work with low paying jobs. Feel the pinch, because those big full size diesel burning trucks that hold those trump signs.
3. Teumpers believe in trumps lies. Even the economy is 150% better when trump left office.

Two weeks later the MSM sticks a microphone in the faces of people in diners in Missouri and West Virginia...

Trump voters are dishonest and willfully ignorant, they know the economy is not bad but lie that it is anyway.

(6,510 posts)Trumpets who are well off retirees, living off their investments who strongly support him. Well educated and who had great jobs in their working lives. $1 million homes. BUT, they are racists and have always been racists! That I believe is why they support who they do. Sad they never moved beyond how they were raised.
