Trump supporters don't care about his first 100 days.

They never really cared about any of the issues he talked about.
Shipping out immigrants, building the wall, eliminating Obamacare, deporting Muslims, etc.

It never was about his policies. Nobody really wanted those things.
Trump and conservative TV hosts told them they wanted them and so they pretended they did but now that they are not working out it doesn't matter.
He wasn't elected for his policies.
He was elected for his image.

Trump is a conservative TV star billionaire who gives good speech.
That makes them feel excited and superior and it's fun so they support him.
That's as deep as it goes.
What he does or doesn't do makes no difference.

You can't use normal political measures to bring him down in the eyes of his followers.
He's all about showbiz hollow glitz and image, not politics.

I heard that insightful, in-depth political analysis from a radio listener here.

Oh, wait -- here's a picture of that caller:

Never mind that he's not making a lot of conservatives happy either -- they don't notice that.

There's a LOT they don't notice.

was multiplied by 100. I'm not convinced that Trump would have been elected had there never been Obama in the WH.
