The romance won't end until Trump voters (ie the rich and the stupid) admit they were wrong, which won't happen. They'll twist in the wind til early next week, when Trump says bringing in H1b engineers is a good idea, actually

Not necessarily. Remember how Trump got booed when he tried to tell them the vaccine was a good thing? I think their hatred goes even further than their love of Trump. I don’t think there is going to be a way for him to convince his base that non-White immigrants are a good thing.

Yup, this. They'll turn on Trump when he stops telling them what they want to hear.

Right. Telling them what they want to hear, before they want to hear it is his only talent.

Problem is most won't hear Trump's words. They'll hear the spin from Fox News, OANN, News Max, Epoch Times, etc

Look, you can fool some of them all the time, but not even Trump will keep fooling all of them for ever.

And there are enough examples of Trump trying to spin something and then being forced by his base to double down.

Trump supporters can certainly have their beliefs bend and twisted by what Trump says but they can’t go 180 on everything.

Remember their core beliefs are Trump and White Guy Supremacy. Everything else is flexible, including the color of the sky and which way is up.
