TreeBeard, it's sad to say but you are dead on with this assessment. I've been kicking around long enough to see the whole spin-down - from a once proud nation where we valued such old-fashioned ideas as honesty and integrity and humility, to a nation of self-centered children, who elected an an egotistical loud-mouthed bully, in many cases because they liked him on the Apprentice. I'd say half of the 40% really don't comprehend what they are buying into when they support Donald Trump. The next two years will tell the tale. Trump will either hold onto them and steal their souls - or they will revert to their core values. We will see in 2020.
Unfortunately when you have the majority of the population basically living from paycheck to paycheck, and being uneducated or undereducated, the results are just like this. It is easy to hoodwink them into believing anything. (The world is Flat Right?).
They cannot see the pseudo aristocracy stealing from them and their children. They at happy to go without healthcare and basically believe anything they hear.
Trump told a reporter point blank why he lies so much and runs down the media.
He says because he knows if he talks enough and discredits enough (Muller too) that the majority of his base will believe him, and not the truth.
I have to say this, or the Gullible's will accuse me of being a Liberal.
I am a Republican, just not a Gullible one. I and ALL of my educated republican friends see righ through the charade, and are ashamed to call him our president. See you at the Ballot Box.
True Trumpers just believe everything he says, again because they at Gullible.
did I miss your referenced source for this alleged trump quote?
Sure but would you rather have Hillary? It was that simple for a lot of people.
ANYONE other than Trump........ and actually yes after a year of this crap. Most of the SMART ones, like me are regretting it. I would have voted for Bernie actually.

I noticed something that most Trumpsters seem to have in common. They do not use Google at all. They won`t fact check Trump or FOX news because what they hear makes them happy. Why would they fact check?
They have been trained - It started when the fairness doctrine was overturned which lend to the rise of AM radio and then the late 90s Fox News....Trump supporters really believe everyone is lying to them, but Trump himself and those who kiss his feet. In their minds for decades they have been told most of the media is liberal.

Just know that you are not alone. There are plenty of conservatives who are disgusted by these "republicans" who have emerged from their dark corners of society to root for a man that insults and disrespects anyone who doesn't agree with everything he says.
I cross my fingers that the Rs lose the House in November and that a more reasonable republican run against Trump in 2020. Either that or run as conservative independent to steal votes from Trump.
He showed his base who he was before the election. I will never understand how anyone can support him.
