I like Trump. He's upsetting all the right people.

Oh and as a businessman he know how it goes. It shows in the economy.

Another thing he's stitched on for a 2020 win.

That is all.
He is upsetting many of the right people, as well as a lot of the wrong people, as well as a lot of people who used to be staunch GOP.

He has had some positive influence on the economy (though some would assert this is short term economic gain at the expense of safety and global climate), though it is also true that the first half of a first term President's economy is at least half the product of the predecessor. Improved, yes. All Trump's doing....not so much.

He and McConnell are ratcheting the percentage of originalist judges way up in the federal judiciary. The traditional values crowd loves this a lot -- it is probably the number one reason so many evangelicals stick with him.

The Dems are pushing, so far, staunchly left of center where the hearts of their younger and most active and their ardent leftist core groups are happiest. But they will need to take back the white working class voter or Trump may well repeat his minority vote win in 2020.
