"SPRINGFIELD, MO.
Like a lot of the strong Donald Trump supporters stocking up on MAGA T-shirts and hats ahead of the president’s Wednesday visit here, the first thing Angela Fair — “as in county fair” — says about her president is a caveat: “He’s still learning. And he does need to learn tact,” she says, laughing.

As a single mother and a caseworker, she says she wants to see Medicaid expanded rather than cut. But? “But it’s refreshing to see someone who isn’t politically correct.”

Even now, that’s the top plaudit for the president that I heard from his stalwarts here in deep red southwestern Missouri’s self-described “queen city of the Ozarks,” site of a shootout between Wild Bill Hickok and Davis Tutt, where Civil War battles were fought and most African-Americans moved away after three jailed black men were lynched by a mob at the turn of the last century.

“He doesn’t take anybody’s crap,” said Deborah Bolding, who described herself as retired and a grandma."
