It's astounding to me that he continues to have any support while rapidly suggesting the complete erosion of the rule of law.
Have people learned nothing about the behavior of despots and demagogue? Or, at the very least, something about Trump's history of treatment towards working people?
He's only interested in saving his own skin and making himself more money.
A lot of his base admires precisely those qualities you mentioned. They dig the idea of someone who appeals to their shared prejudices and wields power capriciously and cruelly. Either because they think he will wield that power on their behalf, or because they wish they could wield that kind of power themselves and are enjoying it vicariously by watching him do it.
They believe they will not be thrown under the bus. They are against socialism, after all.
They are proud members of the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party. Getting thrown under the bus and being surprised about it (or not) is their MO.
Socialize Trump's legal fees, apparently
Trump lost an election and now 30% of the nation doesn't trust elections. Now the same thing will happen to the courts.
