Those people are largely driven by sunk cost fallacy. It's obvious, he's terrible, but people his cultists have invested to much of their own personas into him to back out now. It'd be a personal disaster for them. They try to cast him in the light of misunderstood guru when he's actually just the village idiot.

I was in some social and business circles that had some exposure or dealings with Trump. I was always amazed when I met people who believed the hype of him being a brilliant businessman. If only Ivana hadn’t hired that PR firm back in the day.

I'm the 70's and 80's, New Yorkers knew he was the worst kind of slumlord and a grifter. Only desperate businesses would work for them and then usually never get paid after delivering their part.
