Indicted
Former President Trump's latest indictment will test the limits of persuasion. How many of his followers will stick with him given the gravity of his legal troubles? If the majority of MAGA Republicans remain by his side, it will once again demonstrate that speech has its limits. There is no changing of the closed mind. Communicators need to acknowledge that in all they do. One can only argue to one willing to listen. It is frustrating to deal with those who know what they know and will never change. One must write them off and hope to reach those who are amenable to change, hoping they are the majority. If Trump gets the nomination, as expected, it will by up to independents to decide who will be the next president. One hopes they are not close-minded.
