Trump has predictably gone ballistic over the NY Times piece about McGahn speaking to Mueller for 30 hours today (Trump Attacks New York Times; https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/19/us/politics/trump-twitter-don-mcgahn.html)
and done his usual Tweet Flamethrower to the truth (Witch hunt! Rigged!! etc...)
Thing I'm watching is DJT Likes/ RT's on the birdsite. Highly unscientific, but compare Likes/RT's 18 months apart. Any thoughts on this?
Here's May 2017 and today's (8.19.2018) side by side:

^^^ Does anyone else think this holds water? The drop in RT's and Likes from March 2017 to August 2018. It's pretty astonishing I'd say.
I mean let's say these numbers are truly comparable and similar, this shows a serious level of fatigue with his BS, doesn't it? Does anyone think this means a drop in supporters. Even though the GOP is at 90% approval for DJT, does that matter when a sizable and significant amount of former Republicans and Independents no longer want anything to do w him?
Sure it is. Good chance many others have developed your thoughts towards this trainwreck, who can vote here.
@TheAbbotTrithemius I’m not sure but I suspect it’s hitting close to the mark one way or the other. I only know of a couple of people who intentionally voted for him. We’ve had looooong discussions about him and it comes down to they didn’t feel there was a better candidate (I know, I know...). At this point, one describes him as “despicable” and “awful”. I think there are quite a large number that voted for him and regret it. The rest that think he’s doing a good job are the ones that worry me.
@TheAbbotTrithemius To be honest, reading the comments in his tweets, I would say there's only maybe a dozen or so individuals who are regularly actively defending him.
@TheAbbotTrithemius some bot purging by tw, and a lot of bot reporting by users probably helped cut the numbers.
But it's nice to think his base is finally realizing he's crazier than a bedbug and maybe it's not a good thing to in any sense support him in public.
@TheAbbotTrithemius I wonder if that 90% is because people are dropping out of the GOP
@TheAbbotTrithemius We can only hope. I think he's very toxic but then again I can't vote in the US so my opinion isn't all that important. lol 🙂
