interesting that the trump supporters lose faith in him...

...so easily. I'm a hardcore Obama supporter and sure he did things that I questioned but you know what..? I TRUSTED him to do the right thing for the Country. I knew he was privy to info I was not but I also knew he had my back and I knew what decisions he made was upon sound advice and his steadfastness. What is it these trumpers want from him? I know there are a few who worship the water he walks upon ( rather the swamp water)..but colter and others turn on him so viciously so quickly.

It's not that they have lost faith so easily that's interesting, because it hasn't been "easy." The Velveteen Ocelot Sep 2017 #2

It's what has caused them to lose faith - at least, those who actually have. They were fine with all his misogyny, racism, xenophobia, vulgarity, corruption, constant lying, and generally being a complete dick. In fact, those qualities weren't bugs but features. What has suddenly become a bur under their saddles is that by at least seeming to be willing to negotiate with Chuck and Nancy to preserve DACA (we'll see how long that lasts), Trump appears to be less of a xenophobe than he seemed to be during the campaign. The Trumpistas loved him because he expressed dislike for immigrants and a desire to get rid of them - and now he wants to let them stay? Xenophobia is at the core of his base, and the fear that he might be giving immigrants even a small break has got them freaking out. I think a lot of them will stick with him, though.

EVERYTHING. As long as he went after minorities.

Racism was THE main reason they supported him.

They are upset over daca because that was the main reason they voted for him. That he would send therm back and keep others out
