Comfortable With Failure – Why Poor White Folk Don’t Freak Out At Trump’s Antics (TWEETS/VIDEO)

There has sure been a lot written about why supporters of President Donald Trump love him – his pandering to the fears of minorities and foreigners, his authoritarianism, and his vocabulary (or lack thereof). But one of the factors that has not really been looked at is why, what with failure after failure in his first 100 days, do Trump supporters not see that he is not going to succeed in any of the ways that he has promised?

They Are Comfortable With Failure

For example, Trump’s repeated bankruptcies horrify any of the bankers he tries to go to these days (except the Russian bankers, am I right?) Trump’s go-to is Deutche Bank, which this year was hit with penalties in the hundreds of millions for laundering $10 billion in Russian money.

Oddly, in one survey conducted by Credit Sesame during the 2016 election, Trump supporters had almost double the bankruptcy rate of other GOP candidates’ supporters.

Bankruptcy Is A FAIL

Jesse Levey, Chief Operating Officer of Credit Sesame said:

This is not surprising given that Trump himself has filed for bankruptcy four times.”

The high school dropout rate for Trump supporters is way over the national average – during the election, one of the correlated factors for identifying Trump Supporters was failure to obtain a high school diploma.

Thus, the famous line in one of Trump’s speeches:

I love the poorly educated.”

Dropping Out Of High School Is A FAIL

And last but not least, Trump supporters are failing at living. In a startling (or maybe not) revelation, this article’s headline from the Washington Post states clearly:

Death predicts whether people vote for Donald Trump

Trump was elected most strongly in the areas where middle-aged white people are dying the fastest. Economists Anne Case and Angus Deaton conducted a study that pointed out that age of dying for this group have steadily been decreasing since the ’90s.

May I suggest…

That not living out your longest possible life is a FAIL?

With all of the latest brouhaha over Trump and Russia, how does any of this make America great again? Let’s try NOT failing at keeping our country safe from those who seek to extort and destroy it. That would include Trump.
