I doubt if many of his base get their news from sources other than Fox and Fox keeps feeding them happy thoughts as far as Orange is the New Stupid is concerned. Most of the country has caught on to his scam, but these folks have invested their hopes and dreams in him, as most of us did with President Obama at the start of his presidency. Of course, Obama got a lot done that we wanted him to do. Trump never will fulfill their hopes, but his base still believes he meant and will keep his promises to them.
