But he's not interested in that, because they won't mindlessly and adoringly cheer his every utterance. And that's all he cares about--the cheering adoration.
So first you complain he's going out on his "thank you" tour (to thank the people in those swing states) and it's wasting taxpayers money,now you're complaining he should be going to every state?


Lets face it you're never going to be happy with anything he does and even if you were you'd never admit it.

This is why, as he himself said, Trump loves the uneducated.
Or he can just stay in one of his ivory towers and get one of those applause machines like the one used by Lonesome Rhodes in 'A Face in The Crowd". I would assume that the modern version of one of those applause things is very compact and he can even carry it around in the pocket of the suit he wears that was made in China for a quick ego fix.

Well, looking at the electoral map there are very few places that DON'T like him.

No, I'm saying that he's doing it merely to put himself in front of his adoring fans, so he can feed off of their adoration. If he was truly concerned about being a good leader, he would reach out to those who didn't vote for him. The fact that he is simply playing to his fans because it pumps him up, while ignoring the majority of voters who went to the polls but didn't vote for him, underscores the kind of leader he's going to be. Certainly not one who is interested in uniting the country, because his rallies do anything but.

Did Obama reach out to all of those who didn't vote for him ? Did Obama unite the country ?

But I get it. The reality show star needs his adoring fans to continually keep him pumped up. Because, you know, as he prepares to take on the mantle of the most powerful man in the world, his fans are the most important thing he should be focusing on. Amiright?

didn't Obama go on every talk show known to man when he was cutting his teeth as President?

We all remember when Obama went on his victory tour thanking the african american communities for electing him and making their life great again....Oh Wait

I think he should do this with every state on an ongoing basis. Speak directly to the people, unfiltered by a corrupt media. Let the people make their own informed choices.
