I wouldn’t call what I think possible an epiphany. I think they may resent it just a bit that he went straight into their pockets and ripped them off. The people who fell for the Trump University scam persisted for a time, out of embarrassment and wishful thinking, in believing they got something of value. But eventually they formed a class action suit and expressed their irritation to the tune of $25 million. Things change, is my perhaps naive and overoptimistic view.
Yes, we all remember how Dubya’s popularity never flagged or faltered, and McCain was president for eight years, and the Tea Party happened because why again? Seriously, I don’t get why people are so offended if I dare to hint that Donald Trump might become even more unpopular than he is now, like I’m so soft in the head to think that way that I’m a danger to myself and others.
