Because most of his supporters are easily manipulated, I have been manipulating them with the truth. I started by arguing with Trump supporters with facts and got nowhere. They would get defensive and dig in. It just seemed so futile.
I hit upon my tactic while talking to a couple of friends who voted for Trump because they were tired of politics as usual, corruption in Washington by big money. I was sympathetic to their lament as I am sick of our politicians selling us out too. I told them about Trump saying the other day that when he first heard "Drain the swamp" he thought it was "Hokey." He then said they didn't need the phrase anymore (because it worked). My friends got upset then. I had to explain his cabinet appointments and what those people stood for and what they were going to do. My friends realized they made a big mistake, I realized my mistake had been my confrontational approach.
I tested it out on a guy I didn't know that started gloating about Trump to me assuming I was one of Trump's supporters too (it happens all the time here in red Texas). I told him I was now pissed at Trump for selling "US" out. I explained to him what I had told my friends and said that Trump was worse than the normal politician. I explained the 3 Goldman Saks appointments and how they planned to take away my elderly mom's Medicare and SS. He too got pissed. Their media is not telling hem about all of this so it is news to them all. Once I realized that I indicted the RW radio and news as in on the conspiracy (they like conspiracies).
I have done this 5 times now and I am proud to say that I am 5 for 5. I have them suspicious of whatever he is saying now. Since I made friends I got their contact info and have been adding to what I said very carefully. One even posted about our conversation on FB and how Trump has sold them out. It was funny to watch him argue with some of is friends and some of them agreed with him.
Let's take their base and media away from them with Truth Propaganda!
