They are not stupid and saw his crimes on TV.
The J6 Insurrection, his rape and business trials, the boxes of classified documents.

They elected him because they thought he would commit crimes for them.
They would pay no taxes, have no regulation, be able to scam and cheat their customers.

So yes their entitled privilege led them to believe Trump would not screw them over.
Which is exactly what he doing with the tariffs which are causing economic chaos
and damage to the US dollar.
