Trump supporters couldn't care less about what Trump is actually doing as president. Trump supporters don't care if he repeatedly flat out lies to them, raises their taxes, cuts their health insurance benefits, cuts funding to their schools and libraries, cuts food programs, dirties their air and water, allows poisoning of their food, uses the presidency to make billions of dollars for himself and his family, passes laws to allow his billionaire friends to take even more money from middle and lower income families, destroys our environment or our entire planet. Trump supporters don't care about any of these things, and Trump knows it.
Trump was elected and continues to be supported because of one thing; he dislikes the same people his supporters do and he isn't afraid to say so. He elevates their anger, validates their fears, and bonds them together. He tapped into these fears and convinced white America that they're now the minority, they're under attack, they're going to be made to change, and their personal freedoms are being threatened.
This shared dislike, and often hatred, isn't limited to Muslims, Mexicans, refugees, foreigners in general, but also includes fellow Americans. Blacks, any low-income person that isn't white, the entire LGBT community, and, of course, Liberals and Democrats are all included to a varying degree. Basically anyone that looks or thinks differently from themselves.
His campaign rallies constantly focused on the threat to white America and, however veiled, his supporters heard the message loud and clear. And Trump successfully gathered millions together that previously had no champion - for the stupid - of their underlying fears and hatred.
This is exactly why Trump continues to do rallies and public events. He needs to. His followers need to hear the same message of fear, hatred, threats, and the salvation he will ensure. He is their Champion and this works perfectly for him.
Trump can take anything and everything he wants from his supporters, and they don't care, as long as he continues to get out there and tell them what they want to hear.Every time we hear about something Trump has done, is doing, or is planning to do that will obviously hurt the lives of his supporters, including their health, safety, education, earnings, and savings, every time he lies to them about the freedoms he is actually taking from them, all the lies about what he is going to do that he can't possibly accomplish, the lies about the safety he will so easily provide, we must remember that none of this matters to his supporters. Not at all.
