Trump could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose supporters.

This is wrong.

If Trump shot someone on 5th Avenue he would solidify his support, gin them up.
In fact he did the presidential equivalent of that, he ramped up executions of federal prisoners before the election in 2020 exactly to gin up support from his base.
