How Can Anyone Support President Donald Trump?

Question: How is it possible for people to support President Trump, given all of his corrupt misdeeds over the last three years? 

Answer: Please don’t take this as an endorsement of President Trump. It is not! Nor is it an expression of sympathy or affinity for the man. It is merely my attempt to make sense of the thoughts and feelings of those of an ostensibly pro-Trump standpoint. 
I suspect that many (if not most) of the President’s supporters believe that his conduct and character are deeply flawed. Some, perhaps, feel they are condemnable; he is, at times, a loathsome bully who, most probably, has breached the law on an occasion or two. Still, they reason: There has been a move afoot since day-one of his tenure – a move perpetrated by an elite of a nature far more pernicious and repugnant than anything Donald Trump has exhibited – to dispose of him like a couple of hundred pounds of putrid, orange-tinged meat. And so, in response to an attempt at disenfranchisement by their venomous and vile betters, they bitterly, stridently, spitefully, and steadfastly hold to their seemingly untenable position. In their view, President Donald Trump is vastly the lesser of two evils, the "relatively-good Samaritan". He is the bullied bully who has become the beneficiary of profound resentment.
