That's the weirdest/best thing about all of this. On a hot mic on a livestream Trump could say "I hate my base. They are the biggest idiots in the world," and within minutes the GOP would be scrambling to "explain" what he meant to the rubes. But later that day Trump could double down "Yeah - nobody hates my base more than me. But they love me whatever I do. They're idiots. Absolute total idiots." And then his base would say Trump is too good for them and they'll try harder to get him to like them. Even though that's an impossibility.
