The remaining Trump's base? IMO..

Care about 2 things and 2 things only...Putting Thugs in jail and keeping Brown people from our southern
borders from getting into the country.. They have absolutely little interest in anything else including National Healthcare,
Financal Wall Street Criminals or our National Educational policies...(Short List)..

The ones who supported Trump on his promises of draining the Swamp and Creating new Jobs..
Have abondened ship..

their primary concern is to retain and nurture white privilege. Anything that supports that end result - destruction of public education systems, immigration control, increased prison populations of minorities who then have felony records isolating them from society...all these things are built to preserve white privilege. Conscious or subconscious, that's where his base is. Job #1 is to care for the well being of the tribe (and f'ck everyone else).

What makes up the Trump base today has more to do with being White, few job and educational opportunities, deeply Religious, anti-abortion, anti-Contraception, anti-LGBT, anti-Muslim, anti-science, pro-gun, pro-low taxes, etc..

I apologize for the categorization, but that is where they fall. I know of way too many people who fall into these categories and talking with them about what is happening is nearly impossible.

These morons keep crowing about how we liberals are so upset because he's accomplishing everything he said he would do.

Uh, hello? I don't remember him talking about sitting on his fat orange manatee ass and watching Fox, eating burnt steak with ketchup, tweeting frantically and draining the treasury with his "golf trips" during the campaign.

What witless wonders!
