"Getting Away With It."

A friend came up with what I think is the precise distillation of why Dufus is popular among many:

"Getting Away With It."

"What Trump's fans love about him is that he gives the finger to law enforcement. There is nothing more compelling to that audience than Getting Away With It. The porn stars, the money laundering, stiffing DC for $2 million, this is what they love."

Golden.

We need to get the message out, make it loud and clear, that the Rump is fucking over everyone and not just the libs.

I don't think it will affect Trump's base. They neither listen, understand, or care.

We need to focus on lackadaisical Democrats, middle-of-the-roaders, and Independents. I think we would be very smart to openly and strongly court the Milennials.

And I'm amazed that this is a revelation to *anybody*

I've understood this was the foundation for his "popularity" and "celebrity" for decades...
