They actually thought that a majority of Americans would like this policy? Or thought that it wouldn't adversely effect them or turn people away from them?
Even granting that they're playing to their base to gin up support for mid-term candidates, how did they expect this to be a political win?
I think they believed it would just disappear into the ether, along with the near-daily list of other outrages they commit.
There is something fundamentally wrong with Trump. He doesn't seem to think or to feel as most people do. It's a serious blind spot, and I suspect that's what led him to think this could somehow be a political win. Why would a demonstrated sociopath and flim-flam man consider the outrage people would feel about children who aren't their own when he is devoid of those feelings, himself?
