Do trump supporters know he really isn't the savior type person he claims to be or...

Do they really believe he's a successful businessman who is tough as nails, a self-made man of principle who identifies with working people, is draining the swamp, and cares about the future of the USA?

If possible, limit the bias in your answers. And, no insults. Oh... and no cliches.

Sorry... just one more thing... no conspiracy theories.

——On voting for him on his Principles: He has conflicting views, positions and actions on outsourcing, Carrier, relationship with Putin, NATO, TPP/NAFTA, Obama’s birth certificate, due process, Gun control, presidential travel, “Fake News”, White House transparency, abortion, climate change, supporting Jihadist, deficit, leaked information, cuts/saving health care, “Draining the Swamp”, attacking Syria, etc. etc. etc.

This list is very unnuanced and some things I think are relatively trivial in light of his more hideous and policy related flip-flops, but laying out all those out, even the little things, I don’t think anyone who’s “principled” (I assume they mean on good principles) can have so many changes and contradictions and justify them rationally or fairly. The only guiding principles I can extrapolate out of that that it is that accounts for most of them all are:

1.) If it benefits or pertains to him, it’s good; if it doesn’t, it’s bad. (Holds himself and things pertaining to him to a different standard)
2.) Pander to base.

——On people voting for him because he’s “good” business man: I think it fairest to call him a “risky” business man. But regardless of whether it’s “good” or “bad”, or even if there was a no doubt about “good” business record, people who voted for him on his business record have to explain what about him being a business man is positively transferable to politics and how him having private and/or foreign business and ties and having debt owed to many other entities is not a conflict of interest and is not going to effect his decision making. (Pretty much an applicable question to any politician that takes from a Super PACs, large donors or has some entity tie of their own that can be a source of bribery)
