I know this may sound horrible

but I signed up to be on the Trump campaign email list. The messages I've been receiving are so telling of the mentality of his supporters. I thought that I would share them with you.

Just after we heard a sitting governor trash America, ESPN has now decided it will no longer play the National Anthem before Monday Night Football.
If “America” is too offensive for anyone in our country, then what are they doing in America?
I’m calling on you to join me in denouncing this SPINELESS surrender to the politically correct liberal mob.
I was the first person to sign this petition. Now I need you to follow my lead and be the second.

TELL ESPN:
PLAY AMERICA’S ANTHEM!
...



I think that at this point in time, maybe we should contact ESPN to express our support of their decision.

… of course, the anthem isn't aired because the Trump supporter writing this is offended! They have no logic....

but the Trump campaign is ramping up even more "indignation." BTW "America" isn't the National Anthem - his people even got that wrong!

You must have a constitution of iron. I know I couldn't put up with that stuff on a day-to-day basis. You are heroic for keeping us informed this way.

that way there can be less blindsiding by their silliness.

I'm sure the DNC is monitoring his messages.

Trump makes no effort to conceal his contempt and hatred for over half the country. It wasn't intended is work like that, was it?

about governing or the Presidency. To him is was a joke ... something to do on a whim. Then he got caught up in 'us vs. them' thinking and doesn't have the understanding or the the capacity to understand what the Presidency is all about.

If you're willing to pass the info along, we should do this for everything they try to push.

Gonna go write a letter now, and try to get my kids to do it as well (not really kids - 25 and 18)!

Trump's constituency isn't bothered by being lied to - just as long as the message gets their adrenaline up.
Honestly, it's the addiction to hate that keeps his base faithful.

"The Democrat resistance mob HIJACKED the Supreme Court confirmation process today.

They screamed. They interrupted. They were nasty -- all in front of Judge Kavanaugh’s kids who were there to proudly watch their father’s historic Supreme Court hearing begin.

It was a DISGRACE!

You may not be the resistance protesters shouting, but your voice is more powerful. After all, it was YOUR voice that won a presidential election -- not theirs.

Let’s show the Democrats their sabotage efforts BACKFIRED. I want to FLOOD each of those Democrats’ offices with petitions from American voters telling them to CONFIRM JUDGE KAVANAUGH!"
