> It would be very easy, all he has to do is stop doing what they want him to do. He’s keeping more of his campaign promises than any president in living memory. He has brought north Korea to the table by projecting strength rather than accommodation, leading to an end of thar war after 60 years. A feat which the south Korean president has said deserves a Nobel Peace prize. He’s been tough on securing the border rather than just talking about it.  
> Conservative voters have grown tired of politicians who pay lip service to their issues and then giving Democrats anything they want. That’s what the tea party was all about, it wasn’t about Obama or Democrats it was about electing conservatives to offices that had been held by RINOS who never actually did what they wanted them to do.  
> So in conclusion all trump has to do to lose support is start acting like a Washington mainstream politician.

no the Korean war has not “ended” until there is something definitive in writing

I don’t know if that is a joke or not, but I believe the unmoving base is evidenced by poll numbers, not individual breaking points. So if we see a steady support of 42% regardless of what Trump does or what crazy shit is reported about him, that’s what people are referring to as his base. Not some dude whose straw that broke the camel’s back is that Trump did not sit cross-legged at a sumo tournament and is now wondering if he is part of Trump’s base.
