What did Trump give people to make them idolize him

Did he keep any of his promises, the wall, better cheaper medical insurance, etc. Does it even matter? His fans gave him millions of dollars to fight the outcome of the election. He didn't use a penny of the money for that. His fans even made one time donations and Trump Org signed them up for monthly payments. He's lying and stealing from his base but does any of it matter? What does Trump give his base?

Trump broke his biggest promises, but his base doesn't seem to care. Remember when Trump:

* Promised a tax cut that pays for itself;
* Promised to replace Obamacare with something better and cheaper that covers everyone;
* Promised a trillion dollars worth of infrastructure spending;
* Promised "We're going to see economic growth of 4, 5 & maybe 6%!";
* Promised to reduce deficit and eventually balance the budget;
* Promised to reduce prices of prescription drugs;
* Promised he had made the world safe from Kim Jong Un's missiles;
* Promised to LOCK HER UP!
* Promised to make Mexico pay for that wall;
* Promised to release his tax returns;
* Promised to cut the number of tax brackets, repeal the alternative minimum tax,eliminate the carried interest loophole, and allow individuals to deduct health care insurance premiums from taxes.

That's several trillion dollars worth of broken promises there, LOL!!

@ElwoodBlues I get where Trump didn't deliver on promises, but your response doesn't really address the question.

What is it that Trump provides that excuses broken promises?

@MistyCee True. If he boke all those promises the GQP base must have gotten something big to overlook all the lies.

MistyCee

@Pitchblue Yup. That's the question OP asks. I think the feel good candy for lazy ignorant and maleovolent voters is the answer.

@MistyCee The OP asked several questions under the top one. I chose to answer one of those lower questions. I really can't fathom what the base gets out of their lying sack of corruption other than a chance to "own the libs."
