It boils down to something you stated previously and a bit more:
1. Trumpers have lost all values by continuing to support him. We know this is true because Trump has openly violated all supposed values of the right, has gone against the traditional agenda of the right, and has often done exactly what the GOP criticized Obama for trying to do for 8 years. The only explanation for continued support at this point is simply to spite liberals.
2. Trumpers are simpletons, they believe the world's problems are simple and that the solutions should also be simple. Trump appears to be a successful simpleton, so they love him and can't get enough of the kool aid.
3. Trumpers have been so desperate to see change they think is needed that they do not care about the who, how and the actual results. They are now infatuated with Trump for simply messing with the order, seeing past any and all failures and horrible decision making. This is what brought that famous German leader to power quickly, but Trumpers will keep denying this is nothing like that kind of blindness.
4. Trumpers have very short attention spans. Twitter is most effective, followed by the often outright fake headlines on FOX. There is no more need for real content, context and substance... trumpers don't need to see any facts, they are wholly satisfied with just the idea that something they like is happening.
5. Trumpers are hanging on desperately to this only "win" of their lifetimes. Thus far, Trumpism is a blip, a one-off. They know it, otherwise Hillary and Obama wouldn't be part of the daily discourse. Trumpers are unable to defend Trump by his own merits. Living in the past is the only way to keep their good feeling going.
The reality is since WW2 all the things Trumpers stand against are the things that have ensured peace and prosperity in this world. That a 400 lb toothless and uneducated citizen in a backwater town can't compete with others and has found a scapegoat in Trump's justifications for their failures does not change this reality. That we have seen historic peace in the world and record economic prosperity since WW2 under the type of democracy that Trumpers are against is proof of which system and kind of leadership works best. Lets keep revisiting the results of this new world order, the one in which the POTUS blasts our allies, throws his own people under the bus daily, sides with dictators he admires, lands giant kickbacks in the form of business deals... lets see if this new system will yield the most economic gain, general prosperity and peace in the world.
