Is There a Red Line for Trump Voters?

The US has an outsized influence on world events. So much here in Ukraine and elsewhere hinges on the policies of Trump.For that reason, I did this episode to help non-Americans (but I think will be informative for Americans as well) understand the mindset of the Trump voter.In short, I have been asked the last decade living in Europe by European friends and colleagues: Who votes for Trump and what are they thinking? Instead of again trying to answer this on my own, I got questions from several of my European friends and posed them to a Trump supporter - and my oldest brother, Dave McNamee. He in turn sent the questions to 6 of his friends, likewise all Trump voters the past ten years, to get a more comprehensive view of the motivations and mindset of the Trump voter.January 6th, erosion of rule of law, ICE, Epstein files, war in Ukraine, war in Iran….How does the Trump voter view all these things?And above all, the ultimate question in my opinion: “Is there a red line? What would Trump have to do to lose your support?”Please note that this episode has nothing to do with my views, as that’s not the point of this episode. Some of what Dave says I agree with, other points I completely disagree with, but that’s irrelevant. I’m trying to communicate the view of tens of millions of voters to people outside the US who are truly bewildered.And lastly, while anecdotal and just the thoughts of a few citizens in a nation of 335 mn people, I do think the views shared here are highly representative of tens of millions of Trump voters: these are all middle-aged, white, Christian, males, college educated, and professionally successful (in the top 10% of incomes earners), residing in suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio a mid-sized Midwestern city.Enjoy the show!About the GuestDave McNamee, President at DMC Benefits General Agency, Resident of Cleveland, Ohio and oldest brother of the podcast host Mark.
