It really is a cult. They first deny any wrongdoing from him, then when it's revealed he did, they try to justify it. Facts don't matter. It's maddening. Friends and relatives have turned into foaming-at-the-mouth cult members, basically, and Trump is "sent from God."
Even when he's gone, how will they finally "see the light?" Will they ever?
I keep hoping that the truth, all of it, will come out into the light. I am hoping that part of the truth would be for supporters to see
everything in the light of day, and realize. But I'm not sure that could or would happen. Even if supporters never come around, if Trump is gone
at least more damage can't happen? I so wish Twitter would block him. That would be such a relief.

First, carrola, welcome. I've enjoyed reading your posts this morning.
Personally, I hope Twitter never blocks Trump. His tweets, while inflammatory, do put a lot of his thinking and actions on public record, and they also alert Americans and the world as to what is truly going on behind the scenes in a way that formal statements from the White House would not.
The president's twitter feed is sort of like an early warning system for how high the danger level is at any particular time.
I go back and forth between wanting to ignore his tweets and reading them, and I've decided that it is better to know just how out of control he is than to pretend that all is well.
Twitter had the discussion about blocking him a long time ago, and they decided against. Basically, the more well-known you are, the more you can ignore their policies. For the US president, he could say literally anything he wanted, up to and including threats to kill people, I suspect, and they wouldn't block his account.
If you look up info about Nixon, his supporters really believed he was a fine man, up till the end. It was only after he resigned and all the information was explained in great detail, that eventually just about everyone came to see that he really was a liar. I expect the same will happen with Trump. Eventually, his supporters will come to see he's a liar... but it may take a long time, even as long as they need to forget they were among the people who voted for him.
I might be in the minority with this opinion, but since he is a sitting U.S. President, I don't think his Twitter should be blocked nor deleted. All of that should be public record and it could possibly be used against him in the investigation and it will be a goldmine historical resource for any future president historians.
Maria, what with the Cohen tapes dropping, and Cohen's trial being set to begin next week in the 'rocket docket'--trial anticipated to be three weeks long--so many revelations will be coming so fast from that trial that I believe mid-August will indeed mark the moment when Trump's exit will be assured.
Of course it may take longer than that to formally eject him, but my sense of it concurs that the tide turns around August 10-20.

good points all. thank you
Something else: I have a feeling that Mike Pence is also implicated in Trump's ties with Russia, in spite that he's been keeping a rather low profile.

No doubt. Mike Pence is hugely involved with and supported by the NRA and evangelical organizations.
Given all that has been revealed so far just from the Maria Butina spy case about how Russia used the NRA and evangelical groups to make inroads into the GOP, I would be shocked if Pence has no Russian connections.
It is Mike Pence's nature to fly under the radar. He's not exactly an out-going guy.
