What is sudden drop in Trump's support due to.. I think

It may be Melania .. and her cursing at Christmas..

Christmas is something special for most people .. I am not religious ..but setting up decorations with my kids is the FUNNEST part of Christmas...

She attacked a sacred mind space for most people. Iam sure religious people must be feeling extremely betrayed by her.

It would certainly be highly offensive the type of Christian Trump supporters who fly into a self-righteous rage when someone says "Happy Holidays" to them in December.

Their attack on “Happy Holidays” is based upon their hatred of anything that doesn’t profess to be Christian. Yet, that attack is blind to actions such as what Melania did, she is on “their side” so she gets a break.

I frankly doubt most people even paid attention to her interview – and most that did probably thought she was dismissing the hassle of decorating the WH, not the event itself.

All stacked together are the reason..imho for stumpys lack of support...


In a secretly taped July 2018 exchange shared by her former close friend Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, she said: “I’m working like—my ass off—on Christmas stuff, you know? Who gives a fuck about Christmas stuff and decorations? But I need to do it, right?”

The most recent polls reflect his debate performance but not his covid infection. Melania’s comments about Christmas decorations has been lost in the back pages where few see it. There hasn’t even been a press conference for the press to get a reply from the administration on it.

wearing a jacket that says you don't care about locking up innocent children is ok with them.

Bad mouth Christmas and there's hell to pay.

Don’t tell me it’s a f-g chore to decorate our home. You only live there with our consent. Pack up and take your dog hating family with you.

I was in a cafe with a bunch of republicans and almost all of them were turned off and 4 of them said they either were voting for Biden or not voting at all this is among 11 previous trumpers

However, Hissolini's supporters are not logical, so, it's really hard to say. There are a million things they ought to have been outraged about and weren't, because they seem to live by the IOIATDI rule. (Variation on the old It's OK if a Republican does it.)
