I thought it was fun. But seriously, I would say for a majority of posters on here, there is literally nothing that Trump could do that they would second guess. They're so sold on the image of Trump that his actions are a distant second, at best.
Like I said before, not everything he does is outrage worthy. However, if eyebrows aren't raising even the tiniest bit at some things, I'd classify it as fanaticism. The question is how long the honeymoon lasts.
You must be new here. Most of us supported someone else before ending up voting for Trump.

My 2 cents.
Sorry, not worth 2 cents. You are spouting off talking points and not giving a single example supporting. So your comments aren't worth the bandwidth being used.

That definitely helped get Trump some votes in this election.

Will see whete that food stamp number goes with the orange hair messiah in charge. You guys are in for such a rude awakening. So many people have been conned and they don't even realize it. The right wing screech machine would be in over drive if Obama attacked Boeing like the Orange hair messiah did.

At least we aren't seeing those stupid "We're sorry" internet posts like we saw after the 2nd GWB's second election win. So there's that, I guess.

Wait.. The "average" trump voter is fanatical..
Really you want to go there? Dude Obama was a *CULT* movement. The second video here is something string out of Jonestown.
Again, the average voter. If this forum is to be taken as the average voter, then the average Trump voter is fanatical. Or is this forum off the deep end compared with the average Trump voter? Honest question.
Voted for Trump more because I detest slimy Hillary and he was the only option with a chance to keep her out of the presidency.
...I have a wait and see attitude to see if he can implement what he is wanting to do. Time and competing political interests will tell. I believe what he wants will be much better for the country than what we have now and would have continued to have if dirty Hillary were the winner.
Trump is far from the ideal President, but he will be the president for at least 4 more years. I don't believe he's for sale (could be wrong) and Hillary's past actions lead me to believe that she would be totally for sale. That, in large part is why I am so glad she isn't in power.
I don't feel the above makes me a fanatic at all. In fact - a lot of those on here are playing "Trump can do no wrong" because it helps the lefties melt down more and it is so fun to watch.
We can't help rubbing it in to those who smugly were waiting on the Queen's coronation...

Oh, I don't believe that for a second. There were many on here who weren't on the Trump train at all until he was made the nominee.
Now I think most are simply hoping he's successful, as I'm sure you do as well, correct?

Definitely. I am critical of him, though. Not because he's a Republican (or is he?), but because I think he's an idiot. He's the self-aggrandizing, loud guy in the room that gets ahead in the business world because they keep the spotlight on themselves. He's not intelligent in the way that Bill Clinton, Obama, and Bush Sr. were, and he doesn't seem like a good guy in over his head the way W. did. I'm honestly hoping my impressions of him are wrong.
