Let’s say he pushed for (and was instrumental in the passing of):
-Limitations to the 2nd Amendment
-Limitations to free trade
-Massive spending bills, detrimental to our national debt
-DACA reinstatement and/or amnesty for illegals protected by DACA
-Abandoning the building of a border wall
-large scale military action in the Middle East
-increased marijuana legislation/ramping up the war on drugs
-etc

I understand that some of these policies are proposed/theoretical (even unlikely), and subject to spin by commentators on both sides of the political spectrum. But for the sake of this discussion, consider the implementation of those examples, as well as any that could largely be suppoted by the Left.

Is there anything he could push for and pass that would compromise your support for him? Or at this point is your support unwavering based on his first year, his other policy proposals, or simply partisanship, irrespective of any future policies you may disagree with?

Turns leftist on the 2A by pushing through EOs or signing legislation that will keep me from keeping and bearing arms.

These have happened or are in the process of happening.

Almost all of those are valid situations where he could lose my vote in 2020. I had originally planned on staying home in 2016. Can do it then if necessary.

I will lose support for Trump if he denies having sexual relations with porn stars. He needs to be loud and proud and promise to release tapes.

Well, he can't actually do that. If you mean, "infringements" on, like some of his off the cuff remarks? Yeah, that where he loses me.

But, I'm not all that worried about it right now.

A corollary question would be is their anything Trump could do that would gain your support?

Here is what leftists just don’t understand. They blindly supported Obama, and frankly every Democrat politician. They think republicans do the exact same despite all the evidence that they dont.

I support Trump because of his ideas not because he is on my team.

If he says mean shite and used to bang a porn star I would totally hate him, especially if he killed people by giving them some small portion of their own money back

Absolutely.

I was never a Trump fan, though I did vote for him.
But by putting up w the incessant BS with which he’s dealing, he’s earned my respect in ways he never had it before.
That said, he’s far from perfect.

As long as he appoints conservative, constitutionalists to The Court, I’m pretty much meh on everything else.

Of course there are things that would decrease my support, but he is already president, at least for the next 4 years. Nothing on your list would make me want to remove him from office prematurely.
