Trump loyalists don't reconcile Trump's statements past and present, obviously.
How loyal would it be to do that?

@Pikachu I was trying really hard not to bring up divinity and to minimize the cult-like aspects of Trumpism, because, you know, some don't really believe in the man, as much as they think they can benefit from his "honest" transactional self interest for their own self interest.
Everybody tends to complain about the idiots and the religious zealots, but I think the more significant Trumpists are the ones with money, means, and even education, who see what's going on, and want to profit from it like he does.
Those folks are less likely to be bothered by hypocrisy, of course, being less naive, and maybe even consciously emulating it as they, like Trump, strive to make or keep their money at the expense of others. Personally, I think they're the ugly side of America, but they, the real millionaires, as well as the frustrated millionaires are Americans, and with Citizens United, they're probably the ones more important for the future.
