Call them Trump's defenders not his supporters. Suggest you do the same. [View all]

I've started calling them Trump's defenders. They will defend anything he says or does. They are not supporters - they are just defenders.

Defenders are positioned to deflect and deny - they are not positioned to explain or unify.
