Is there anything he could say or do that would cause him to lose support? Is he Teflon Don?

Trump said that he could shoot someone on 5th avenue and his base would still support him.

I think if he would repeatedly blamed White people and Christians for societal problems (such as bring up the bringing up slavery, Jim Crow laws, and racism against Blacks) his numbers would drop.

Thoughts?

Nothing. If he blamed whites and Christians, they'd just say he was pressured into saying it and it doesn't reflect his true beliefs. At least, that's what the white supremacists said after they murdered that girl in VA.


If he gets impeached it's just a witch hunt and he's an innocent victim.

Agree with tinytrump. We're to the point now where anyone who still supports Trump SHOULD be judged, because their priority is pride & party over country.

I can't understand how any Trump supporters aren't embarrassed and ashamed of themselves.

What if he started to embrace Black Lives matter and started to condemn White supremacy, I mean on a daily basis.

What if he started tweeting that it was wrong for Whites to enslave Blacks and enact Jim Crow laws?

Would that offend his base, or would they make excuses, like say he's drugged as Alex Jones suggested

How funny. The first thought that popped in my head was the first option in OP's poll: shoot someone on Fifth Avenue.

Nothing. I honestly believe he could unzip and flash himself during a presser and his base would find a reason to justify his behavior. They're totally entrenched in their support and it is a lost cause to try and sway them in the lead-up to the 2018 elections. The people to pursue are the Democrats who didn't vote in 2016 and the Independent voters - those are the people whose votes need to be acquired and switched to support Democratic seats in Congress and other electoral races.
