Did Trump jump the shark?

This parade seems to be the thing that makes people embarrassed. Besides his rabid base core, a lot of republicans are not even watching. The media seems to finally be deciding not to air it and his VIP donors “made other plans”.

If the media finally wakes up and just stops airing live his stupid fanatical rallies then maybe, just maybe, his Republican voters will just stay home on Election Day. Independents will probably vote Dem.

Even if there's a flyby, the few soggy stragglers may not even see 'em. That's a trump-level washout.

9. Eventually, many Republican voters dislike blatant wastes of money.

A lot of what motivates Republican voters involves money.

They're fine with throwing people off food stamps, locking the borders, treating prisoners inhumanely, denying asylum to children, and a lot of other vicious, mean things - but don't waste money on a stupid parade.

While they cut funding in their budget for health care, and for Medicaid, Medicare, and for Social Security, and safety net programs. Just look at how he and the republicans have driven up the deficit for the wealthy tax cuts, and what they'll spend for their for profit wars and for profit president we have. He claimed he'd balance the budget, and Mexico would pay for a wall. He lied.

A waste of tens of millions of dollars, misuse of the military. Can anyone think he's anything but the mad king?

It's so stupid that they are carrying his "hey, look at me" hate fest against America. He truly thinks we are the enemy and wants to get rid of us any way he can.
