Trump was put into power by his base. Here is what they wanted:

-pack the courts with conservative judges in order to put women’s rights back to the Stone Age. Basically overturn Roe v. Wade, ban contraception then implement Handmaid’s Tale. Mission well on its way.

-bring about the Rapture. The nuclear war in Iran fizzled. Now a plague has come down the pipe so he’s done everything in his power to dismantle anything in its way. Now he’s put religiously insane, scientifically illiterate Pence in charge of making sure it happens.
