Whether Trump means it or not is kind of irrelevant because he\u2019s saying the things to people who are hurting, and that\u2019s why every beaten-down, nameless, forgotten working stiff who used to be part of what was called the middle class loves Trump.

Are you mentally prepared to be outsmarted by Trump again? Do you find comfort in your certainty that there is no way Trump can win? Are you content with the trust you\u2019ve placed in the DNC to pull this off? The Biden campaign just announced he\u2019ll be visiting a number of states\u2014 but not Michigan. Sound familiar? I\u2019m warning you almost 10 weeks in advance. The enthusiasm level for the 60 million in Trump\u2019s base is OFF THE CHARTS!
