Those who want a fantasy "strong man" - exactly what Trump is, a fantasy tough guy - define it as bullying, NOT following the rules, and getting what you want at any price. They've been worn down by a system that doesn't promote their interests and regard the rules as rigged. His followers just assume their tough guy won't make them pay the price.
LOL. Economically, Trump's followers will be the first people he throws under the bus. But his real enemy is the rule of law.
