Unrelated to trump, but I was speaking to somebody this morning who works in the same building as me and who is perfectly lovely; we often have a chat about DC, wider world etc. She was talking about how her group were taking a vote on some issue and casually said, "And whatever the result we'll respect it, unlike Brexit! I really don't understand these people who are trying to keep change the outcome until they get what they want".
I said that I thought people might have voted to leave but not what that would look like, which is what people are now talking about (staying in the single market etc) and she genuinely looked like she'd never thought of that before and went on to say, "I suppose they should have made it clear before the vote took place".
I've not been able to shake off this conversation because as I say, she's lovely and not someone who sticks her head in the sand but if even she hasn't given it any more thought beyond vacuous soundbites, what chance is there? We were interrupted so I don't know for sure but I can only assume that she'll be voting Conservative.
