I’ve gone down that same path. From skepticism to total support.

I can only guess, but it appears to me that Donald Trump is built for this pressure cooker. I think he looks forward to the conflicts, and delights in beating down those that oppose him. I think it’s what’s kept him going.

Donald Trump is not a politician. He is, at heart a businessman, a realtor and a builder. No business man or woman makes a sale sitting still, no realtor sells property by letting sit and no builder constructs a building halfway, over budget and late. Particularly as a builder you sign a contract with a client to have the building done in a certain time frame and for a certain price. Anything that holds you, the builder back from completing that contract costs you, the builder , money. And in the high priced, high pressure world of NYC real estate and construction if you fail at that you're finished by lunch time. I know. I've seen it, I've worked in the industry.

For years politicians in Washington haven't solved anything. It's not in their interest to do so. It's in the interest of power to ''manage'' problems. Both parties are guilty of this but the Democrats are far more practiced at it and far more invested in doing it. Create a problem and then manage it. Throw money at it, (be sure and take your cut) mitigate the problem a bit, make promises , throw some more money around,(take another cut) run for office, buy more votes and stay in power. If We The People had any brains and gumption we hang the bastards from lamp posts. Our Founders would have done it.If they were alive today they'd wonder why we hadn't done it already.
