I think he has stirred up many more than just his "faithful believers". This last swipe he took at Lebron was like hitting a hornets nest. Even his wife and daughter are publicly standing against him.
His minions have had to walk back his statements saying that we should ignore his tweets (because otherwise it is clearly obstruction of justice) but in so doing they are telling us to ignore POTUS, that trivializes him and makes him a byword. In addition even top Republicans come out publicly and make it clear that Mueller's investigation is not a witch hunt, is valid and should continue.
Crazy like a fox or crazy like a cornered dog?
It seems certain that Manafort is going down for fraud and tax evasion. One wonders if Manafort has anything he can offer up on Trump to reduce his sentence. Banion has made it clear that there was 0% chance that Trump was not aware of that meeting with Russians, hence that public comment supports Cohen. All they will need is one more person who refused to respond to confirm this. What is clear is that Cohen is flipping and if anyone has dirt on Trump it is Cohen. Do not trivialize some of that dirt, it could easily be the reason that his wife and daughter are beginning to distance themselves from him. Also, it looks like Don Jr. might be an easier target than Trump. Will he really sacrifice his own son to save himself?
Also, this last summit with Putin has many, many high level officials and Republicans expressing concern that the Russians have compromised Trump. National security is one valid reason to override political alliance.
