Some of his supporters on this forum have said, "It isn't about Trump's policies - it's about Trump, himself"...and that isn't entirely untrue. Trump, just by being the loudmouthed loose cannon that he is, has done more to divide the country than any President in modern times. Some of what he has done - like appointing corporate shills to neuter and make ineffective certain government departments and agencies by heading them up - are objectively awful; but people often reflexively oppose virtually anything he proposes mostly because it's coming from him. Trump has steered the Republicans so far toward the Right fringe that the opposition just appears to racing anywhere.
