In reply to the discussion: Can it be??? Trump Is Losing His Core Support [View all]JustAnotherGen
(31,828 posts)32. Nearly 20% of Trump Supporters
Do not believe freeing of American slaves was a good idea. I think I predicted 22% was the "bottom" for Trump a few months ago.

Donald Trump appears to have high levels of support among the nation's intolerant population, according to a New York Times deep dive into polling data.
The Times found that nearly 20% of Trump supporters did not approve of freeing the slaves, according to a January YouGov/Economist poll that asked respondents if they supported or disapproved of "the executive order that freed all slaves in the states that were in rebellion against the federal government"Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.
Trump himself has never advocated for white supremacy, but some of his followers may. He has, however, called for a moratorium on Muslims entering the United States and called Mexican migrants "rapists."

Oversupply leads to lower prices, especially on a product that doesn't keep.
