Much is at stake here. Many of Trump’s followers have offered themselves to him with confidence that he will continue to provide them with a true path. When he falters and can no longer serve these needs, his followers may not only feel deprived but angered by a sense of betrayal. The chants and especially the promise of the wall may lose their power as he is unable to convey convincingly either the metaphysical or physical aspect of the wall. Followers may become frustrated and angry, even to the point of denouncing the worshipped guru. This would undoubtedly have a harmful effect on Trump himself.
