> Trump supporters [...] assume he does not mean what he says. I read this elsewhere (they are not my own words) but I think it's applicable here: "The Left takes Trump literally but not seriously; the Right takes Trump seriously but not literally." I think this can be illustrated in the response meme "the wall just got ten feet higher!". Trump's supporters often subtly mock him in other ways as well; off the top of my head there is the recent use of "bigly". That's not entirely unprecedented. George W. Bush was well-known for sticking his foot in his mouth by making up words (e.g.: "strategery") and Joe Biden is seen as similarly dopey by the Left.
