But Trump knows that his base will still vote for him regardless of how his policies directly impact them.

Their desire for hate and oppression trumps (pun intended) whatever economic hardship they face.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."
