The people who overwhelmingly supported #DonaldTrump in 2016 still support the president even as he sets in motion events that may ruin their farms and tear families apart. They seem to live in a world of naiveté where Trump is as great as he proclaims.

“Even though it might be bad medicine, I think if the president is telling the truth, he's got a lot of experience with negotiation. He wrote a book on it," said Kelly Rudd, an independent cranberry grower in Tomah, Wisconsin.

In #TrumpNation it's better for your mental health to be ignorant.

But, but, but ... who's going to pay for it after the #GOP ran a trillion dollars tax cut through last year? I mean, money was already right, then a cut, then they're going to pull it magically from the air?

I'm amazed by the fact that NBC could not find one single farmer who was critical of Trump. My guess is that they didn't try very hard.

Jason ON Well, I think it's both. This kind of "Trump's supporters will never abandon him" kind of article is so common as to be a cliché. I'm sure they didn't even make an effort to find any dissenting voices.

They'll still be saying it while they sit in their freezing hovel (if they are so lucky) surrounded by their children, brain-damaged by lead in their water (if they are so fortunate) as political sadists fire up their ovens and gas chambers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So it goes.

The reason people voted for Trump still exists. People are still desperate for solutions they need.

So, Minnesota would rather people not be able to advance themselves without the officiating organization paying a fee, first? Do libraries have to pay a fee to lend books? Do documentaries put together by universities have to pay a fee first? If I move into the state and give away old college text books, do I have to pay a fee first? http://www.forbes.com/sites/evapereira/2012/10/19/minnesota-bans-free-online-education/
