When you look at Donald Trump’s position on many matters, it’s evident that they’re not based on any real convictions or ideas that he has. Nope, he’s taking the position of powerful business interests—rolling back protections on consumers and on the environment, for example—and the people who chant his name the loudest.
And he’s doing it because he wants their approval. He wants them to like him.
It’s too bad that people who believe in protecting workers, consumers, and the environment don’t have the bucks to flash around to impress him; and that they aren’t as shrill and fawning as his current base. He’ll go with the biggest crowd—he NEEDS people to like him—and with the biggest bucks—he WANTS to impress the people he sees as being powerful.
We should try outshouting the other people. Have a big mob chanting “Environmentalists for Trump!” or something. We need to make him feel like WE’RE the people he wants to appease.
