The replies- on his own social platform- to TSF's 'This is Biden's stock market' are relentless and scathing.

It made me feel good after going on his TruthSocial and seeing only two kinds of reply. More than 90% were variations on laying the blame squarely on tRump for screwing up a healthy economy. Many included charts and graphs with real information rebutting his post and even calling it an outright lie. More than a few pointed out that he claimed the market was his when it was soaring just a year ago. The rest were just the usual memes extolling his greatness. None in agreement with his post. And none arguing with the dissenters. He's losing his followers as they stop believing his lies. He's losing. Bigly.

they are celebrating the raids and deportations.

I think they are just not getting into arguments over this with others because they can't or don't know how to defend it . But they still support him.

His followers were all the people who voted for him. He is losing them bigly. His core base (10-15% of the population, 30% of his voters) will mostly cling to him till the bitter end.

The assumption that ALL Trump voters are going to be PERMANENT Trump voters, no matter what, is incorrect, imo.

Not everyone who has voted for him (and helped him win elections) is a hard core cultist. Some people have voted for him just because they've always voted Republican, some have voted for him because they liked a thing he said or found his rallies entertaining (I don't understand it, either; people are weird), or because they just didn't care for his opponent. Some are probably just casual fans who liked him on The Apprentice. People decide to vote for a person for all kinds of goofy reasons.

There are still cultists who are fiercely devoted to him, but I think his support is eroding among all those other kinds of Trump voters. There wouldn't be so many harshly negative polls otherwise.
