What in the Hell these people think he is/has done for this country is mind boggling given all that he has done to harm us and in only three years. He panders to his 40%, many of which are believers of unicorns, fairy tales and tin foil hat conspiracies. Today shows he has zero foreign policy knowledge and even less regard for our Allies.
There are some points you seem to bypass, and so doing, even if your assumptions about President Trump are correct, is the reason a Trump re-election is more than possible, perhaps even probable.
First, those who 'support' the President are those who support the policies (overall) that Trump has either implemented or tried to implement. Those policies include an 'America first' frame of reference on all international deals and policy such as trade policy or military (in)action, an 'Americans first' policy as it pertains to borders, future immigration, and potential benefits, less taxation and less government invasion of the lives of individuals, a capitalistic economy, among others. Rare is the President Trump supporter who just loves and worships at the feet of the Trump idol in the way so many did for President Obama.
(Parenthetical, thought, so why not put it in parentheses? Notice also that I, in noting what I deem inconsistencies in both individual and media thought, still refer to Obama as 'President Obama', a measure of respect for the office and the 30 million voters who elected him. The left have made it an unwritten law to NEVER utter the phrase 'President Trump'.....)
Also, attacking people on a personal level, with name calling, criticism of political views as personal flaws, ridicule of religious faith, and hyperbolic accusations based on support for gun rights (or other topics) is the most guaranteed way to assure that those with differing views and priorities dig their heels in to oppose you and your candidate.
And finally, the left choosing (overall....this Turkish/Kurds decision makes zero sense to me either) to make everything about personality instead of policy sets the stage for a Trump to dominate the debates to come. There is no new news in insulting the MAN. If only the Democrats would nominate anyone or any color, religion, or history who can promote Constitutional law, and individual rights and responsibilities instead of promoting the erasure of law (border law, criminal law, sentencing laws, etc) and the installation of of Socialism.......
