    This has been my theory of his continued popularity. He takes every side of every issue, that way anyone can be targeted with ads that match their beliefs.

    It’s not even a conscious choice by him, it’s just the way real estate salespeople work, they’ll say whatever it takes to close the deal, there’s no need to be consistent from one prospective buyer to the next.

      That’s actually how these MAGA events are!

      Trump says something wise like, “Get a vaccine.” And they boo so he stops. Then he rambles for a bit and says something like, “could be poison” and they cheer and he smirks, and continues with that.
