I voted for him everytime as well and sent him a $1000 or 2000 donation. I think it was a $1000. But I based my vote on his promise of no foreign wars and no more neo-cons. So domestic politics would dominate the budget etc. I hated the stupid GW Bush and all the neo cons in his administration. And Dick Cheney was one. But Pearl , Wolfowitz, the Kagans, Nuland (who is married to Robert Kagan), Abrams etc who were all jewish (and some held dual citizenship) ran GW Bush. So we had the swamp. Trump said he would delete the swamp.

I was leary of Trump from NYC as there were/are few conservatives there. Staten Island is the only area in the 7 burroughs that has a few conservatives. (Dont know if you ever been to Manhattan but its dirty and the other burroughs are worse) When I was there John Marchi who was a Republican State Senator from
Staten Island ran for mayor of New York. He was a good person. But I happened to mentioned to the jewish attorney (who lived in Manhattan) that Marchi would not get elected because he would not get the Jewish vote (liberal ) . And Susan , the attorney had a hissy and said "I heard the same comments by the National Socialists in Austria in 1938 ". She did not speak to me for several weeks. But in the end she gave me a german-english dictionary because she knew I spoke some german.
Trump has turned out to be exactly the opposite of what I voted for. I should have known better but who else to vote for? Should have not voted I guess.

My opinion on why Trump still has support is that most people who voted for him do not know the difference between a fiscal conservative of the Austrian School such as Ron Paul, John Mearsheimer and Russell Kirk for example. Most people are not well read on true conservatives vs neo-conservative. Ron Paul speaks rather simply but there is a lot behind those simply words. Mearsheimer is a little more formal from fairly easy to follow. And then there is Russell Kirk who I knew as he lived in
the little town of Mecosta, Michigan and my grade school and HS was there and you could chat with Kirk on the sidewalk. His daughter still lives in their large beautiful home. And of course he was tied into Hillsdale College which is the only college in the US that does not accept Federal Funds as I recall. Most on this site would not do well trying to understand Kirk if they read his books. I did read them and they are pretty dry so you have to make the effort and do some thinking.
Bottom line is lack of knowledge = ignorance. And we do have a lot of propaganda in the US that adds to the hype. So here we are about a $100 trillion in debt if it were measured properly.
