I am willing to take Wang's word that he's not a 'programned' follower bonded to Trump. Some are, some aren't. Was reading an analysis that says for many Trump supporters, it transactional. They are for Trump because he delivers policy they like. It may be appointing anti-abortion judges, or being tough (or purposefully cruel) to immigrants, or tax cuts (big donors taken care of), or anti-black/pro-police stuff. Point is, if he delivers on your hot button, that's more important to you than Trump's vulgarity, dishonesty, and criminality. Indeed, you may see vice as a virtue if it gets you the thing you want. Trump's goal is to get a big enough coalition of people who accept his faults as necessary evils but want to keep getting what he gives them.
And then there are people who are paid money to support him. That's transactional too.
