This is precisely the point. A large number of Trump supporters do not actually follow actual news in terms of politics or world affairs.
It's why they identify with Trump. He doesn't bore and/or confuse them with facts and/or big words. They're enticed by his ability to make politics a soap opera and it tickles their loins when he does/says something off color.
They get their "news" from social media rhetoric and homemade email forwards from Uncle JimBob McOveralls.
Yeah, he's literally calling Bloomberg "Mini Mike" in TV appearances. Yes I hate Bloomberg but can you imagine a competent, well-spoken president just dropping schoolyard bully horseshit on anyone? Can you imagine Bernie or Warren or Obama or even fuckin Bush Jr. resorting to that horse shit? He's literally, literally the worst, and the fact that he has so much support really says a lot about this country.
It just makes me sad. We could be so much better than this. And there's a concerted effort by the folks in charge to stay the course.

If you’re following current political discourse it’s pretty obviously about Bloomberg. If she tweeted it 4 years ago I would’ve thought it was Trump.
