Why Trump Voters Still Support Trump

With the 100 day mark this week, which is silly in this day and age, there has been alot of media attention of whether those who voted for Trump still support him.
They seem surprised that they still do.
Anyone with an once of common sense can tell you why.

Trump came to office 4 months ago. Those who voted for him were strong in their support and had high hopes he would drain the swamp, make things better for working class people, Put American people first and attack immigrants.

I don't know about you but, anyone I vote for that after just 4 months I am probably still going to be supporting that person and having high hopes.

People pretty much know that no one can turn a country around or do anything that will show results, good or bad, in 4 months. I used to laugh at people who were angry at Obama a month or two after taking office because he did not magically change the country by then. The best politician, even with a full house, is not going make change happen or for things to be taking effect right away. It take some time, sometimes years, for policy to have an effect.

That being said, even the worst politician is going to have his supporters behind him in the first months of taking office.

There really won't be much change in regards to Trump for some time. It just isn't going to happen.

So, the media keeping this Trump support watch is a waste of time. And anyone wondering why his supporters are not jumping ship like rats, well.....
