    Anybody who falls for this is absolute trash, the truth doesn’t change because you’re strong or weak, the only people who think that are stupid cowards too spineless to stand for anything.

      That probably describes a good chunk of Trump supporters. They are very enamored by the idea of strength and the terms they use reflect that influence it has on their world. The idea that America is presently diminished and will become great = a strong and respected nation leading other nations. The desire for hypermasculine men and submissive women. If their leader looks weak, they’re sensitive to that. They’ll deny it as long as they can, of course. But there could very well be a point where the collective feeling turns away from Trump.
