Trump’s North Korea Statements A Boon To His Base
Trump’s base wants him to be decisive, she said, whether or not they agree with him.
“A sizable number of people prefer leaders whom they see as decisive, and prefer displayed strength and certainty, even more than agreeing with the substance of their positions,” Fitzduff said.
“What they do not like is people who they see as compromisers,
or not knowing their own mind, or
even consulting/discussing with others what they should do, or
indeed changing their mind re red lines,
no matter how sensible that might appear at times to be.
Strange as this may seem, research has shown that many people prefer ‘strong and wrong’ leaders to ‘weak and right’ leaders.
Trump’s base views him not just as a moral leader, but as an embodiment of the nation.
“Trump constantly lives by the metaphor that the president is the nation,”
Trump’s supporters think like he does—they support strict fathers who take care of business, are strict disciplinarians and embrace the use of force as necessary.
“You can only understand what your brain allows you to understand,” he said. “If that’s what’s in the circuit in your brain, that’s all you can understand.”
Trump’s psychological allure suggests his base will embrace his belligerence rather than abhor it.
Mari Fitzduff also said that many Americans actually welcome wars.
“Yes. Unfortunately many of us love wars—think about how glued we were to our TV’s when the U.S. invaded Iraq,” she said. “
This is particularly so when we believe we can win, and especially when we think it is only people ‘over there’—as has been suggested by [South Carolina Sen.] Lindsey Graham—who will suffer, not us.
‘If thousands die, they are going to die there, they’re not going to die here.’”
“Very few Trump supporters, or indeed most of us, understand the result of using nuclear as opposed to more traditional forces, and how different a war it will be.

Who says article right?
looks like trump talk worked
So your bar for Trump success is now "Well, there was no nuclear Armageddon today."
We're just going to go back to giving the DPRK fuel oil and food. The only question is how much further Trump decides to elevate Kim on the world stage.
