Trump is a racist and a sexist and the majority of his supporters like him just because of that. There is a deeply engrained racism in about 20% of the country and they are pissed off that they have had to hide their racism for the last couple decades while the rest of the country moved forward.
In Trumo they see a White Suprmacist and Misogynist that can be their champion. Simple as that. Bombing or not bombing, jobs or no jobs, he can take their health care, and destroy the air and water they drink. They love him because he's a racist.
