2. [Convince] Trump fans that Trump's shit does in fact stink.
I'd give this one about a 15% probability of success.
First of all, there's more than one Trump fan. So by basic laws of probability alone, this is actually a lot easier task than #1.
But there's a lot to factor in here:
a. Obama hate - Eight years of despising Obama and everything he did has created this alternate reality, where now Trump's "shit doesn't stink". It's tough to overcome Obama hate. Maybe as we go more into the Trump presidency.... maybe some of this will wear off a little bit, and a dent can be made.
b. Growing economy - It might be partly because the economy is cyclical, or even (shudder) partly due to some decisions made late under Obama's administration...... but it inevitable gets lost in the shuffle when giving all the credit to Trump. That it should be growing more it also lost on Trump fans. The fact is it's growing..... and that's a good thing (really).
c. Talking to Kim Yong Un - It's early right now and it just happened. So obviously we're in the honeymoon stage with all the "I love you's" having been said and all the promises having been made. Hopefully it'll all remain peaches and cream, and Yong Un won't throw a monkey wrench in the West's plans and desires to witness and confirm de-nuclearization.
Still..... Trump's bound to continue fucking up some things..... and as time goes on maybe it'll be easier for his fans to accept the criticism, and maybe even level some themselves (I'm not holding my breath, though).
