I normally don't admit to it, but I've become less fearful of the backlash lately.

Current plan is to vote for him in 2020. Worst case I will abstain from voting for President.

The economy is still on fire as much as it's ever been in the midwest. Can't complain there.

The trade war is unfortunate, but the alternative is to bend over and take it from China. Everyone agrees that they don't play fair. So the options are to do something about it, or to just let them keep on. My family has a manufacturing background, so all the offshoring is sort of personal.

The racial crap isn't nearly as much of an issue as the media likes to make it. It makes for good ratings, though.

Basically I'm hedging my bets on at worst I think the government should be robust enough not to be brought down by one bad leader. And if it is, then maybe we deserved to fall. Plus from my perspective he's not doing all that bad.

"The racial crap" appears to be crap media mongering primarily to those who haven't been on the receiving end of the fire hose (metaphorically or literally) some time in the past few decades. I'm sure it makes for good ratings, and the media makes the most of it, but that doesn't mean it's any less of an issue than portrayed.
