Most Trump supporters love him for the way he attacks liberals and the press...

It's like a game to them. Competency or morality are really not factors in their support of him. He showed many times during the primaries that he was mostly an immoral bullshitter when he attacked his opponents, in the most negative and cruel manner, and his fans loved it.

Obviously, they do not give a shit about how our government is run. If the truth be known, they would prefer "no government" over the government presently in place. They are not very intelligent, to say the least.

But, they hate the media and they hate Democrats. Anybody that attacks those two institutions will generally have their support. Basically, they are very petty citizens with little regard for their country.

Trying to discern more pointed motives is a useless exercise. They want a president that talks and behaves like Rush or Sean. They hate Democrats and everything conceivably associated with them, including the press and the judiciary.

Simpletons have found their voice in DC. The world suffers for it.

politics is no longer about leading the country, its a game. so you're right, he''s saying things that they've felt for a long time but no one outside of rw talk radio and fox news prime time will say.
