They support him because of the deportations. That’s it. They are racist, he does the racist things, they are happy.

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

It's important to remember that for many, they disapprove of him because he isn't KILLING the people they hate.

Eventually he'll decide he needs their vote desperately, and will start to indulge their demands.
