5. He's publicly insulted his supporters--calling them mean and violent, suggesting they're gullible.

He stated that he didn't like the phrase "drain the swamp" and didn't really mean it.

Yet I doubt he's lost a supporter. As Trump said long ago, he wouldn't lose a voter if he shot someone on 5th Avenue in broad daylight, which itself is an extremely insulting comment.

Unless he suddenly becomes a proponent of civil rights and pisses off the KKK, hardly any of his supporters will abandon their cult leader.
