There is definitely a tendency for people to side with their cult to the point where they lose all perspective and objectivity. I'm proud of the fact that I've hated Donald Trump for decades and that my dislike for him has nothing to do with party affiliation.
I have said this many times, Trump is a master at several things. One, any activity that is on the fringe he makes sure his fingers are clear. Take the perfect call. From a common sense standpoint, the call was about Biden, but enough people would say there was wiggle room that he is off clean. Because of twitter, people who have defied him pay the price. He knows how to play that game as well as anyone.
He also knows where to go to make sure his base gets it. And you have to decide what "it" is. But what if fascinating is his base, a lot of hard working people, a lot of people who have trades that are at the heart of their earnings. Take all of his wealth, how many times has he bankrupted debt off? Say your company billed him $100k for wiring his project. Say you are a plumber who billed him 200k. Then he files BK, and the trades get 10 cents on the dollar. But he still owns his buildings. And they had appreciated nicely.
I don't dislike him because he is a republican, which he is not. I dislike him because he isn't a good business person, doesn't pay his debt, daddy handed over 400 mil to him and he has filed BK numerous times.
On top of that since he has been President it has become his own reality TV show with tons of drama. Take the Russian affair, would have been easy to say "yeah my son made a rookie error, he should not have been in contact with any Russians prior to my election. " No, he denied it for six months, then emails and texts come from Don Jr claiming that he indeed met with them.
Moving forward with a hit his holdings are going to take, the cram downs on rent, his golf courses losing money, what will be his solution to remain solvent? That on a personal level is scary, and something his tax returns may have shown us how he deals with financial distress.
