    According to Madrid, “The polling data confirms what should have been obvious to any seasoned political observer: Americans reached a nuanced position on immigration that the Trump administration completely misread.”

      He didn’t misread anything. We can see now. It was never just about immigration. Trump, but more likely one/some of his sycophants, explained how hard-line immigration enforcement could help in removing political opposition with the help of a corrupt and stacked Supreme Court. The ability to revoke birthright citizenship so he can ship you off to whatever hellhole country he wants or you die in a concentration camp waiting to be deported, either is acceptable.

      I think the only position on immigration Trump cares about is Stephen Miller’s. Also, someone who’s supposed to be term limited, and will definitely rig the election if he somehow runs again anyway, doesn’t really need to care about public opinion too much. It’s not like there seems to be much risk of anybody overthrowing the government.
