One of the biggest questions through this election has been how and why Trump’s supporters continue to allow this rhetoric of his business record. It has been shot down time and time again, but this does not seem to phase his supporters.
Trump’s Sheep
Those who are supporting Trump, are blind to every mistake that he has made. This has been proven time and time again. They were not phased by his tax returns, and were not phased by his most recent video release scandal. The reason why these things simply cannot seem to hurt his campaign is that his voters truly do not care. They want Trump to be president because of his persona, his platform, and his unapologetic “stick it to the man” attitude.
Who Cares
If Trump supporters have not cared about any of his scandals, mistakes, or horribly worded outbursts on National television so far, why would they suddenly start to care that the rhetoric of his good business record is less that accurate? The rhetoric of him being a business man and not a politician serves as the mouthpiece for his followers, but the accuracy of the statements are not of much concern to them. Trump does have one thing going for him, and that is his loyal supporters. The rhetoric of his business record only exists to give those supporters something to grasp on to, and something to hold against Hillary, who is the definition of a career politician.
