at this point, the people who STILL support trump are going to vote for him regardless. all this accomplishes is giving him another outlet to spew ridiculous bullshit that demonstrates his idiocy and/or incriminates himself
there are still undecided voters and/or unmotivated voters.
sorry, if someone's trying to claim they're "on the fence" about whether to vote for trump or biden, then they just don't want to say out loud that they're voting for trump because they know they'll be (rightly) ridiculed by whoever's in earshot
unless they know they're surrounded by troompa loompas. in which case all of a sudden that "on the fence" bullshit goes out the window
Ok, but that's my point. The more campaigning those people hear from Trump, the more likely that they feel that they're right and they should go out for Trump. Also, I think there are people who are undecided nonetheless.
Which allows him to mobilize and weaponize their idiocy. ¡No bueno muchachos!
Yep his poll numbers went up after he was originally banned. Could be a coincidence, but it does make sense.
