At what point will Trump turn on his voters?

Hell, he has already killed thousands of them by down playing a pandemic. When Trump realizes he is going to lose the election he will blame everyone, including his voters. This is what narcissists, sociopaths, do.

That's how it will go down at the very end. His supporters are already receiving bullying, threatening texts lambasting them for not giving enough money and effort.

When Trumpism is in its death throes, the cult members will be told they are largely to blame for not appreciating Trump enough, for not being tough enough, for not fighting hard enough. And he'll probably say something like, "My supporters deserve to be defeated because they failed me." (Of course, it will also be the Deep State/Dem conspiracy too that is to blame).

Trump's world is a fake Survival of the Fittest, where every loss is rationalized by factors having nothing to do with his own failings as a leader and a human being.

Just remember what unfolded during the last six months of the Third Reich.

they failed him with the popular vote and inauguration crowd to name just two early ones among too many huge betrayals to count. He promised to replace the ACA with much better coverage for much lower costs, but since election he's been grinning at his rally crowds as he promises to make both the ACA and required coverage for their preexisting conditions under any program unconstitutional.

He turns on anyone who speaks against him or his agenda.

Some voters, politicians and donors have turned against him already.
He will turn on them as he perceives they've turned against him.

I've heard his supporters are getting emails trying to strong-arm donations. They're not giving enough, the president is displeased, it will be their fault if he's not reelected, they can meet rump if they donate x amount, etc.

He's always been a con, lying, stupid and insensitive and uncaring and delusional and manipulative and dishonest. But he's gotten worse and worse over time. Devolving.

And he was never really for his voters, his constituents anyway.

Trumpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the King's men
Could not put Trumpty together again.
