An individual in politics by definition is shared by a group to that some extent.

Do I understand your statement correctly, that you say: Trump is not a demagogue, because behind Trump is the group of his followers, who have not yet revealed that they think differently than he does? Of course, you can only find that out later. And Trump has not yet undergone a real endurance test in the presidential office. Neither the immigration of people from Central America nor the investigations into his election campaign impressed Trump politically in any way, that's my impression.

In political negogiations supporters are needed to get a point supported in general regardless of the party.
