I firmly believe that they don’t refuse to admit to it; they are all in for him because of that.
Because this guy works on a Favor Currency, they assume (rightly so in most cases) that they can get him to do anything for them they need, ensuring short or long term comfort and profit for themselves. What they always seem to forget is that there are literal thousands of others who have tied their kite to this same moron only to be completely shocked when he dragged them down to keep himself alive. Trump has insulted and demeaned everyone except Barron, Ivanka, and Putin. The guy has gotten his wife’s name wrong multiple times.
