I fear you're crediting Trump supporters with too much intelligence in thinking that the penny will eventually drop - this is the sort of thing some of them genuinely believe:

You may be right. I was outlining the process and giving as much hope as possible. The video you posted is not an outlier by any means. This is the grist of the mill that is our culture war.
These people are, however, a minority. Part of my hope for the next elections is that Democrats capture enough state houses to be in a position to control the new electoral maps mandated by the ten-year census.
I know our system seems strange to others, well it's strange to me. A quick note: our US system is, in fact, a legacy of our colonial past. The British Crown did not export a shire system with central power to the American Colonies. No, they set up 13 separate Crown Charters that are the legal genesis of our States Rights issue. All our seemingly crazy systems are a result of the need in 1789 to form a union of 13 independent sovereign entitiess. Think EU and arguments about what a sausage is - it's frustrating to me.
Paborn. Trump is so far away from most people's sphere of experience in terms of a western democratically elected leader. My advice, as a political student is simply to 'get the beers in, kick your shoes off, park your arse on the sofa and enjoy the show'. Hand wringing won't change anything. This is a man drowning in.his own inabilities.
Your totally right. I watch absolutely none of his speeches. I'm merely anxious to point out that his support is a declining minority. Our system allowed this minority to impose their will - it's hell for the rest of us. I wanted, out of embarrasment, to point this out. it's theh most commen remark most Americans make among ourselves - shame.
You can't watch any of his speeches. I just tried again this morning, when he was announcing the new US-Mexico trade deal.
You simply can't comprehend what the fuck he's on about. It's almost as if he's talking some language other than English.
Not to mention, it's quite obvious now he's just a Russian agent trying to destroy Western democracy, so that can't be good.
Thanks, I seldom get to agree with you. At least Trump brings some people together. I turned off the same announcement. It was like listening to an untutored child.

Trump aside, the deal appears worthy in achieving two objectives
(1) Mandating higher minimum wages - more auto content must be made by workers earning a minimum of $16/hour
(2) Applying more pressure to China’s economy by moving some manufacturing from China to Mexico
China is so worried about the ageing population they're considering removing any limits on how many children a couple can have..
