There are a significant number of American people who agree with this lawyers point(s) of view. In fact I played golf with one such person last week in Atlantic Canada. Nice guy from Boston who was quite friendly , good golfer and quite convincing in his praise of Trump. I did not challenge because we've got to spend 4.5 hours together and plus, I was having fun subtlety questioning his assertion that Obama was a Muslim, George Soros was funding the democratic movement, that he needed a gun to protect himself, and that because Trump was self funded, he was connected to no one. 
We did agree that Trump has this swell of popularity but that his tweeting was sabotaging his effectiveness. He actually agreed with me ( it was near the end of the round) that Trump was dumb as bricks. He didn't offer to sit down later for a beer. I would have declined.
