So, Trump calls his supporters mean and violent. He says he wasn't actually serious about draining the swamp, as if that comes as a surprise. And very early on he said he wouldn't lose a voter if he shot someone on 5th Avenue in broad daylight.

It is positively mind-blowing. As you say, he has a cult following.
