We are seeing an abusive relationship between Trump and his supporters. In abusive relationships, the abused believes that her partner’s behavior is minor, and can be eliminated by him. This is a false narrative, but the partner keeps believing it because to not believe means that she has to do something, which she neither can or wants to do. The abuser does not want to change because abusing his partner is what he needs to do. This may be simplistic, and I know that women abuse men. I have witnessed many in my family in abusive relationships, an spent two years volunteering with a group that was trying to break this cycle. Trump’s supporters want him to change and stop lying. He won’t. They can’t leave because they would have to admit they were wrong for so long.
