The same people who were convinced Mexico would pay for the wall. At least until it became undeniable that we were paying for it, at which point they instead claimed that they always believed we'd be the ones to pay, and that it was a necessary sacrifice. The same thing they're starting to do for this.

That's the thing - his supporters have no idea what's going on, but they don't want to lose face by admitting it, so they're constantly just pretending that whatever is happening is part of the plan, and make up whatever reasoning they have to in order to justify it. We're a country of naked emperors pretending we're wearing clothes.
