Re “To Message of Racial Division and Fear, Crowd Responds With Cheers” (Political Memo, Sept. 11):

Ever-faithful Trump supporters may represent a minority (hovering around 40 percent approval), but that still works out to tens of millions of American voters passionately embracing the daily revelations of President Trump’s corruption, incompetence, racism and indecency.

How is it possible that Mr. Trump, once accurately described by his acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, as a “horrible human being,” could be anyone’s idea of a good choice for president? A deeper look at Trump voters and their contribution to a Trumpist America is long overdue.

They are making America anything but “great.” It is blazingly clear that Mr. Trump and members of his administration are a cesspool of corruption, scandal, self-dealing and reckless idiocy. Why would there be 40 percent approval for that? Or 30 percent? Or 10 percent? Or even 1 percent?

Racist yearning for white supremacy appears to be one strong reason that Mr. Trump has m ore than 80 percent approval among registered Republicans.
