Trumps strategy in 2020 will be to sling as much filth as possible and hope his base comes out in sufficient numbers. This is what he knows how to do.

Just last week, the President invited to the White House leading members of the far-right social-media crowd, including one Carpe Donktum, who recently made a nasty altered video of Joe Biden; Bill Mitchell, who ladles out the latest QAnon conspiracy theories; the oppo-research operative James OKeefe III; and Ali Alexander, who, like the Presidents own son, recently shared a tweet that called into question Kamala Harriss racial background. A sterling bunch. At the meeting, Trump expressed the full knowledge that cyber-fuelled hatred and racism had helped him win the election. He honored the group with a White House invitation in the hopes that it will be there for him again in 2020. The crap you think of is unbelievable! he told them in bemused admiration. These were his people.

(32,707 posts)and quite a few people who voted for him were disappointed and upset by his comments. I guess this is the stock-market faction of his base? I have no idea.

(25,183 posts)many of the country-club Republicans voted for the Orange Menace, mainly because they wanted a tax cut, but also because Hillary has been so severely demonized to them for decades.
However, there is a chance that they will be replaced by Trump base voters who sat out the 2016 election because they believed the polls that Hillary was going to win that time. They won't be sitting back this time around if they're still Trump fans.
