there are ppl on FR that are so bought in to the trump cult that if he crapped on their head, they’d call it a hat.

The difference is that you are gullible enough to believe in the archetypical duplicitous lawyer politician, whereas some of us believe in a businessman who has "been there and done that" across numerous conference room tables all his life and done great things, course language and all.   Then when he had every right to rest in retirement, instead transfers that knowledge, expertise, and drive to the White House, for no pay, and does great things for our nation, course language and all.

Your attempt to belittle that by calling our belief in him a cult as cynical and shallow shame.   I call it faith in the right man, in the right place, at the right time.

This quote from a Teddy Roosevelt speech long ago says it better:

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

Your cynicism is a sad and fickle thing.
