Honestly, at least part of me thinks Trump did it to expose how fucking retarded the blue leadership was. It put responsibility back on them after decades of being cushy "blame the other guy" jobs. And it worked pretty well, my own state is now revved up and utterly hateful of our blue governor to the point where people actually are asking about election day.

However, like all Trump moves, he underestimated how hard the media would spin/hide and how far the populace would let these idiots abuse us without standing up.
