Military sent to Ukraine
Military sent to Gaza
Additional protections to police
The pardon of all January 6th rioters
The relaxation of maximum presidential terms
Repeal of Affordable Care Act
Repeal of Social Security
Increase in taxes of lowest and middle incomes
Reduction in the minimum wage
Shutdown of major news outlets of "reporting lies"
Ban of reporting "bad news"
New ability to farmers to hire for no wage
New protections to reject hiring/customers/schooling based on colour
Collapse of NOAA
Atheists targeted as terrorists

If you think any or all of these is going to finally get a Trump supporter to lose faith, then you failed to learn the lesson that 2016 should've taught you, and yesterday should've reminded you of - they will never lose faith. He could tell them to literally kill their own kids and they'd just say "Oh, like what God told Abraham! I'll get right on it, my Lord!"
