What Trump's many enemies do not understand

President Trump came out of his meeting with Putin looking weakened, or maybe he was just tired---he is 72 years old. I don't know if it's true or false that Putin has big and bad blackmail on Trump, some illegal multimillionaire business deal, sexual scandal, or whatever, but whatever it would be Trump would have to believe it was big enough to destroy him.

Of course many of Trump's followers believe that all the charges against Trump are the result of fake news created by his enemies---and much of it is fake---but what Trump's many enemies do not understand is that Trump's followers are so starved for a real populist/nationalist leader who can do what Trump has done for America that they will support him in any case, transgressions and all.

The overlooking of Trump's faults in favor of his patriotism shows us how much the people have come to distrust the elites, how hungry Americans are for realism in Washington, and how much the people hate the Big Media and Hollywood.

Whether or not the growing differences in America are big enough to create another civil war, or if we can find a realistic way to get along---eg. an ethnopluralism of ethnostates adapted from the constitutional separation of powers and states---remains to be seen.
