Trump's county map is intended to evoke a sense that America overwhelmingly supported the orange maniac in 2016.

But as we know, that is not what happened. Over 3 million more Americans voted against him. Yes that doesn't determine the winner and he rightly won, but the messaging he is communicating here (that he enjoyed overwhelming support) is only true if you go by land rather than people.

Yes, people who vote R tend to be rural and occupy a greater percentage of the land mass of our country.

That does not make them any more important than people who live in cities, but this POTUS is the first in modern history to ONLY care about what they think and not even have a shred of shame about not even attempting to be the president for all Americans.

Not a very good defense against impeachment though, is it?

In the mean time, Republican Senator Chuck Grassley is speaking out against Trump's attacks on the whistleblower.

You're not seeing many Republican Representatives or Senators putting their neck on the line to support Trump. This could mean bad news for Trump.

But....but...but....the 2016 county map.

Wonder how long before Trump has a rally. He needs the crowd adoration right now in a very very bad way.

California and New York are not as important as rural America, that is a fact.
Disgusting culture in New York and Hollywood, the most materialistic of all.
All talk and no soul.

This is no different than the intolerant elitism you accuse liberals in cities of having.

No one is better or more important than anyone else.

Which must be why your new God is the most materialistic New Yorker you could lay eyes on ey?

Enjoying the irony of decrying materialism while idolizing a man who spent most his life sh***ing in gold toilets.

Neither exist without the other. Cities don't eat without rural America. Rural America requires the tax money generated by the big cities. This is simple to understand but just incase I'll provide another example.

Federal tax dollars from large cities pays for Farm subsidies currently keeping farmers afloat RIGHT NOW.
In return those farmers keep producing so those in large cities can afford the food in the stores and provides security by keeping food production inside the country.

You guys just like to go at each others throat. Nothing difficult here.

Apparently, Trump thinks that acres vote.

Just one more thing he doesn't know.
