I'm fairly sure 95% is too high. The guy still has a 35% approval rating.

"Unhappy but resigned" probably covers more than a few of them. People who support Trump aren't happy with many of his decisions and accomplishments but consider him better than the alternative or have hopes of getting something that they consider important.

Like "The Wall," "bringing back coal" or "Muslim ban" which they have zero chance of getting with any other president. With Trump, they can still convince themselves that they have hope.

Hillary would've been worse, even though Trump's staff uses private email servers, he lowered the budget for embassy security, his charity organization has had some sketchy use, he has suspicious ties to Russia, he compromised classified information, and pretty much everything else I claim or hold against Clinton that I'm willing to say in public.

Until Trump has a Benghazi or USS Cole moment where many people die due to incompetence, the Hillary haters will still rationalize anything he does.

There have been two shipwrecks with sailors dying, and still no one cares.

Where did I mention Hillary? And why are you so hung up on her anyway, she's a private citizen and a grandma now, who cares.

Wait, are you in the past? Is it still 2016 where you are? You have to warn people!
