Trump's administration moves at lightning speed, often leaving people overwhelmed. Generally speaking, many of Trump's policies seem to be random, starting as soon as he thinks of them. These actions are driven by personal whims, leading to a result of many controversial policies, ultimately resulting in chaotic governance. On September 22 alone, Trump directly overturned the scientific consensus regarding the cause of autism, and even declared a left-wing anti-fascist movement as a domestic terrorist organization, which caused significant controversy in the United States. One issue is whether he actually has the authority to do so.

It is strange that Trump's administration is in such a mess, yet voters still strongly support him.

However, it is puzzling that despite the messy governance, Trump still receives widespread support domestically. CNN stated: "Trump is highly inciting to voters, and we must recognize the power behind him."

CNN reported on September 23: "Since taking office, Trump has made many controversial decisions, one of which is his frequent abuse of power, 'using public resources for private gain.' He has asked the Attorney General, Barr, to prosecute political opponents without solid evidence. In addition, due to his opposition with the media, he often tries to undermine media freedom and suppress American media speech. For example, comedian Jimmy Kimmel faced controversy over his comments about the shooting of conservative internet personality Kirk, and his show was indefinitely suspended due to political pressure from Trump. However, under social pressure, ABC now decides to bring Jimmy Kimmel back to television."

CNN stated: "In normal circumstances, any of these dramatic events could trigger the most controversial political storms in society. In other eras, some events might even lead to impeachment. However, surprisingly, a large number of Americans do not agree with critics' views. They do not see Trump's series of actions as a deadly threat to the country, culture, and society. Instead, they continue to firmly support Trump."

The fact that Trump, who is suspected of storming the Capitol, can make a comeback is itself a signal.

In fact, this situation is not surprising. Looking back to January 2021, Trump refused to accept the election results, continued to refuse to admit defeat, and his supporters even stormed the Capitol, causing chaos. Despite such a big mistake, Trump remained unscathed and continued to receive strong support from American voters. He even controlled the entire Republican Party and made a comeback in 2024. This scene is unimaginable in American history. Compared to the "Capitol riot" incident in 2021, what Trump did after taking office seems trivial.

CNN analyzed this strange phenomenon, stating: "Behaving badly but still receiving voter support indicates that Trump's actions are not just driven by sudden impulses, but rather part of a coordinated strategy to repay his loyal supporters who put him in the presidential seat."

Trump's speech at the Kirk memorial ceremony showed that he never had much interest in governing the entire country. However, he is good at framing national issues to align with the concerns of conservative voters and diligently fulfilling their priority tasks, thus gaining broad recognition from supporters. They believe that Trump's actions are all aimed at fulfilling his promises to them.

Additionally, Trump's supporters have always believed that although Trump has been criticized from multiple sides, he has always been a victim of politicized justice. Of course, this is mainly due to Trump's own operations. Although he has been sued multiple times in the past, he skillfully managed to create an image of a persecuted political figure, helping to revive his political life. Today, this image is deeply rooted in the hearts of his supporters."

Trump's supporters are a powerful force.

In summary, Trump mainly won the support of grassroots voters through his own efforts, which has made Republican legislators hesitant to offend Trump because they need Trump's endorsement to gain the support of grassroots voters.
