In Michael Wolff's "Siege: Trump Under Fire," he explores how President Trump's unwavering support comes from a dedicated group of followers who reject common logic. This base often dismisses or reframes negative information about Trump, demonstrating a willingness to overlook facts that contradict their loyalty. Their devotion can be understood as a defense mechanism against criticism of the president.

Wolff emphasizes that this phenomenon of "fooling some of the people all of the time" signifies a deep-seated commitment from Trump's hard-core supporters. They are characterized by a strong emotional connection to Trump, prioritizing their beliefs and identity over traditional political discourse. This dynamic has significant implications for American politics and the future of Trump’s influence.
