“two thirds of America, including a fair number of Republicans, have rejected Donald Trump's presidency, called it a failure, says he's not in touch with their needs”
Invokes a large majority of the population to create consensus pressure that Trump's presidency is a failure.
“We have 138 countries or more that support Legal AF and have been with us from the very, very beginning”
Frames consumption of this show as a global community loyalty marker — stopping means abandoning 138 countries' worth of audience and the show's founding history.
“Oh, he's the crazy cop, you don't know what he's going to do now. That's a buddy movie. That's not how you run the most powerful country in the world and the leading democracy.”
Leverages ridicule and contempt — mocking Trump as a 'crazy cop' from a 'buddy movie' — to persuade the audience that unpredictability is incompetent governance.
