the fact that a single supporter has to be highlighted with a photograph says it all does it not?

People will always happily vote against their own interests, as long as they believe their vote projects an image of them into the world.

How would a Trump presidency go against the interests of some random woman?

Well his economic policies are skewed purposefully towards the wealthy. He tried twice to take healthcare away from people, losing by a single vote. He's rolling back all environmental protections, and we know that climate change adversely affects those who aren't uber wealthy, the most.

He's currently trying to bribe the US with a payroll tax holiday until January, well the payroll tax pays for social security and medicare, taking away more health protections from people, especially as they age and become more reliant on governmental help.

He's stripped power away from all the intelligence agencies, making them more susceptible to terrorist attacks, and he refuses to act of white supremacist terrorism which is the biggest threat to Americans, especially those who are non-white.

I could write page after page on the destruction Trump has caused, but I shouldn't have to.

Maybe the woman in the picture is really rich, has an amazing healthcare plan, and owns a business which woukd be negatively affected by environmental reform we don't know anything about her, maybe Trump would be for her best interests.

That's why I made my original post generic.

Such a bad faith statement, you shouldn't knowingly misquote an argument to discredit it, that's weak. Who said they have no thoughts of their own? The likes of Candace Owens do it purely for financial benefit because being a right wing commentator that's also a minority is a profitable position to have since the right wing are desperate for tokens to be like 'Look! We have a non-white/LGBT/female person agreeing with us, we aren't racist/homophobic/sexist!'

When it comes to Trump voters, they vote for him out of pure ignorance. Nothing Trump has done has benefited anyone that isn't mega rich. Yet people in the middle and working class will continue to be his main base because his racism appeals to them, because they've deluded themselves into thinking he is benefitting them when he's only eroding their quality of life but he hates mexicans and black people so it's K.
