Many of his supporters sound much like this:
Maybe Trump doesn't always do everything the way I like. Sometimes he does things I don't like. However, he has kept many of his promises and has accomplished many of the things that are important to me. So things are going pretty much the way I like. I do support Trump. Don't like everything he does, but I do support him.
As far as his regard for the law, he has to defend himself and that is all he has been doing. It is all politics. Who cares about Russia? I am not concerned. He is being attacked all the time, and besides, he hasn't done anything that threatens me. So why should I be concerned?
What his supporters need to know:
He probably won't do anything that negatively impacts you as long as you support him. He needs you to retain his power. You can pretty much count on that, at least for now. Here is the thing; when he has firmly established that he is above the law (maybe at some point over the next couple of years, maybe sooner), he really won't need you so much. Once he is able to eliminate the constraints that currently hold him back, he'll eventually gain sufficient power to do whatever he wants. Since he has Congress on his side, he just needs to get control of the Justice Department. He is working on that now. Then he'll likely deal with the courts. Although, the courts won't matter as much once he has firm control of the Justice Department. He can pretty much ignore the courts. Eventually, he will strive to have the ability to change the way we elect our President, or at least somehow just fix it to insure that he is re-elected. Of course, you probably won't mind. You've already demonstrated that isn't an issue. Although, even if you do mind, at this point it won't matter anymore. He will have already consolidated his power sufficiently. He may even decide that we don't need elections anymore. After all, he will want to be certain that he or at least someone in his family stays in power to protect his businesses. So he will need more power to stay in power. Since he is above the law, he can change whatever he needs in an effort to insure that happens. So your vote really won't matter anymore. You won't either. Once he has established that he is above the law, he can just have his enemies quieted (arrested and put in jail or worse). There may be incidences where he may be concerned about perception to the extent that he will let them out, provided of course, they promise not to speak-out against him again. He may not care, so we'll have to see. You probably have nothing to fear as long as you don't cross him. The only problem is that if he starts doing things that you disapprove of, there is really nothing you can do about it. Elections don't matter anymore. If bad things happen to you or your family, there is really nowhere to turn. Those that would protect you may now be the ones doing the bad things. If they have power over you and they are loyal to him, he will protect them, not you. People that are close to him will obviously have more power than an average citizen as long as they are loyal. That is what matters most. If you get in his way, you'll likely find yourself in jail with no recourse. There will be no trial, of course. If there is, it will be in front of a judge that is paid to do his will not yours. In either case, you will remain locked-up for as long as they wish. Oh, the protections that you now have with regard to unreasonable search and seizure; those went away shortly after he had his power base secured. Those protections just got in the way when he had to deal with the opposition party. The laws you now use to fight the system or appeal government wrongdoing are also gone. They also got in the way of his ability to deal with his enemies.
So yes, things are going your way now, but as long as you support and embolden the President in denigrating and undermining our justice system, that will soon change. And the thing is; soon you will no longer have anything to say about it. That is what it means to have an authoritarian as a leader. He and his wealthy friends and supporters will become wealthier and more powerful. You, you will fall behind, way behind. Once he has reached the pinnacle of his power, he will no longer need you. You just won't matter anymore.
