Trump's base would not care if they found out he was not a billionaire. They think that he is a successful business owner regardless of the readily available information that he bankrupted several companies and has been drowning in debt since the 80's.

They will dismiss the information as "fake news" or some conspiracy to hurt Trump.

His base is not going anywhere. The people who voted for him in 16 and regret it, have already left.

There aren't any people hanging around that are going to say, "I can take the lying, the cheating, the racism, sexism, and xenophobia, but he's only worth 10 million dollars ?!?, I'm outta here!!"

Trump's base supports him because he talks tough and tries to hurt the people that they hate (Black people, LGBT people, Brown immigrants, non-Christians, and progressives). They don't care who he is, just what he promises to do.

The rich and powerful have always had a different tier of "justice" in this country.
