Independent voters have their own minds.
Some of us are actually able to HEAR what he is saying without filtering it through a fog of hatred and dollar signs dancing before their eyes, as the MSM is doing...and Independents usually don't cherry pick bits of sentences he has said and pretend that was his entire meaning.
Independent MINDS don't automatically bring out the litany...it's like the liberal far left brainwashing prayer...anyone who says something they don't like is automatically a litany of things...racist, sexist, misogynist, homophobic, xenophobic...I know it all by heart.
Instead of cherry picking a word here and a word there...almost always relayed to them by the MSM...I think it is far more important to look at what Trump DOES for the people of various races across this nation.
I don't always like the WAY he says what he does...because it is obvious that he has a temper. He steps in it, at times.
One example of this was during a Coronavirus briefing when he told a group of reporters that if a governor spends a lot of time bad mouthing him...(paraphrasing here)...he will not CALL that governor when he wants or needs something. The reporters LEAPT on that, drooling and praying to their evil god that was a detrimental news bit...and Trump had to repeat to the reporters TWICE that Mike Pence will call those governors back...always...because Mike Pence is not that way.
I am glad of that. It means Trump recognizes that there are times when, to be a good executive, he has to delegate to someone who is capable of being mild and even handed and do what is legally required of the executive branch.

@tring2222 [quote], what do you think when he consistently insults people and groups and talks about his poll numberS?
[/quote]
The people / networks he insults took the first shot with lies and insults of their own. Good for Trump for pushing back. More GOP should do the same.
His polls? If 'journalists' won't report them, how else are we to know?
I think your complaint is really with the media.

@sunsporter1649 I saw the briefing yesterday.
I stood and cheered when that presentation handed the media their respective asses.
Mrs. Budwick had the presence of mind to switch to CNN - they turned off coverage while the presentation was on, and then had their own melt down with their crawler.

@4meAndyou I really understand your POV.
And, while your point is well taken,
Trump is the first and only politician to push back.
If he never pushed back - the media would simply continue.
They did it to every republican president in my memory.
It needs to stop.
We need an honest media.
I don't like that Trump needs to push back - but I'm glad he does.
