Bari - come on. You still don't listen. You need to dig in and evaluate DJT and the new MAGA coalition for yourself! As a journalist, I'd think that was necessary. Pointing out that the "smart people" around Trump in his first administration did not do him any favors. He has openly said he did not expect to win and he had to accept the Republican administrations' hand picks. They were out to thwart Trump and he was much less effective than he will be this time. And he actually has the will and strength to fire people who don't perform!
To fixate on "Trump's character" - "he churns though people" that work with him. No, he doesn't. He has an extreme phalanx of loyal people. Many of whom go to prison for him. Look at the loyalty he is showing RFK; Tulsi, et al. To fixate on an off-the-cuff (and off the record) comment he made in 2005 (and apologized for in 2016 when it was brought out to embarrass him). So short-sighted. And please, don't trot out the "felon 34 times over". The "ledger" entry for a single payment multiplied x 34. That payment influenced the 2016 election? Really? Does anyone believe that? The entire situation did not influence the 2024 election (except to allow more people to see the political law fare going on).
Please do us a favor, as the figurehead of TFP. Please, do some evaluation of the primary sources on DJT.
Rather than writing off all Trump voters as captured by personality and showmanship, consider that many of us (I'd say most of us) are intelligent, thoughtful people who have been watching and researching these primary sources since sometime in 2016. We see the things you can't seem to.
