Why are Trump supporters so unwilling to criticize even some of his policies?

Trump won because he appeals to the uneducated masses, the American Idiot.
The numpties. The simpletons. The inbreds. The deplorables.

They don’t really understand policy, just short slogans.

Posts like this make me so happy Trump won. 

Ah, the classic self-own. Nothing stokes the MAGA grievance machine like being called exactly what they deny. It’s Pavlovian—insult them, and they double down, gleefully proving the point.

Finished products have more value than unfinished products. 

Manufacturing always creates value added products. That's the point of manufacturing. (except when something manufactured finds no buyers) But why "even with AI and robotics"?

No typo.   Canada is the hat of the USA. 

Thanks for the geographic image. What's your point?

Cars are built with robotics.  So are airplanes.

So not "even with" but rather "especially with".

Ai and robots are still in their infancy  there is still time to reject them and return jobs manufacturing agriculture etc  back to real human beings.

 

In other news today, Musk sells X to himself, xAI. Of course because Trump will give massive funding for AI companies

Oh, now it's the long term. Right. Trump made a major point of that in his campaign How there would be years of sacrifice and hardship but in the long run it will pay off?

I like the part about slowing down illegal immigration.

Actually, illegal immigration had slowed way down before Trump too office. But the thing about illegal immigrants is, they do jobs that Americans don't want to do. If Republicans really wanted to stop illegal immigration, they could just make it a major felony to hire illegal immigrants. Of coorse they would have to lock up most dairy farmers among others were that the case. It will contribute to inflation.

Animal Farm sounds like the leftie vision of the world.

Biden took immigration seriously when it realized the polls were not trending his way.   Trump stomped down on it.

Read the book. 

 

t tells the story of a group of anthropomorphic farm animals who rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where the animals can be equal, free, and happy.

Joe Biden lied.  He first said he could do nothing about it.

Anecdotal evidence can be defined as testimony that something is true, false, related, or unrelated based on isolated examples of someone's personal experience. It is distinctly different from scientific evidence, or proof based on findings from systematic observation, measurement, and experimentation.

MAGA Mike, your take on anecdotal evidence is rich—like quoting the rulebook for a game you’ve never played.

Did you get that definition from a critical thinking class, or is it just another slogan from the ‘Facts for Dummies’ handbook?

Dude, you have yet to apply critical thinking to this form. I'll outthink you any day of the week and twice on Tuesday.

 

You are not an intelligent person.

So even when he reverses himself you still agree with him? That's an amazing coincidence. Your opinion and his change simultaneously.

Canada supplies 50% of America's oil. 100% of the electricity to the north-eastern seaboard, including New York City.

 

If you think that's irrelevant, you are seriously delusional.

After the polls turned against him.
