"SNIP....

Politico: “There’s also evidence that moments in Trump’s presidency when he’s been accused of making racist statements have done the most harm to his image.”

“When Trump claimed there were ‘very fine people on both sides’ after white supremacists clashed with counterprotesters in Charlottesville, killing one woman and leaving others injured, his approval rating dipped to a low of 39 percent. And after word leaked out of the White House that Trump once referred to El Salvador, Haiti and African nations as ‘shithole’ countries, his rating fell to 36 percent.”

1. Nope. His base agrees with the racism.

2. Depends on who you ask...

I'm sure his base loves it.

I'm hoping that most Americans will side with Dems in the House on this one.

3. Just read in another thread his approval has ticked up since. They did not link a poll

4. Everything that offends and disgusts us, his supporters love!

One poll even suggests that his approval rating went UP after his racist comments.

5. I just read it INCREASED 5%!

He will call for more ICE raids when Mueller testifies since his cult loves this BS! His racism is both a distraction and a campaign move.

6. Overall...

… it will, but the Deplorables will deepen their love for him.

7. They may deepen their luvvvv, but it will not "deepen" their numbers. That's pretty much fixed

[Arkansas Granny]

8. Not at all.

9. Not among the MAGA Cultist, they're caught in sunk cost fallacy

10. The racist tweets won't change the opinions of the people not in his base.

The base will love him all the more for his racism.

11. Nope he just tied the entire Democratic party

to socilism just as he planned. The Repubs I know we're
fired up over this today.
