Not actually surprised. These people are evil, not stupid. He knows he drove away the low paid immigrant workers, they just want a way to blame them anyway.

Ding ding ding. He got to blame them and scapegoat them before, now he gets to do the same in reverse. His supporters will cheer it on because they care infinitely more about being bigoted pieces of shit than they do about using even the slightest bit of brainpower
