What Does Red America Think of POTUS Trump?

Small town Hillsboro, OH (Population 6,000) pulled the lever for Donald Trump. Their local newspaper was one of a handful that backed his candidacy over HRC.

What does the newspaper say now?

Interestingly, the conservatives I speak with do not really consider Trump one of them. Rank-and-file Republicans tend to view Trump more as an independent who ran under the Republican banner.

But for the most part, they’re still with him. They appreciate Trump’s “America first” agenda, not because they believe in isolationism, but because they believe the U.S. and its citizens should be the government’s top priority.

The president’s tweets can be as annoying to his supporters as to his opponents, and if there is a common criticism it is that he should tweet less. But his inability so far to overhaul health care, enact tax reform, destroy the Islamic State or “drain the swamp” is largely blamed on overreaching courts and the open “resistance” that appears dedicated to opposing anything Trump wants.

Digest this until Ace's alarm clock has been returned from its recall.
