His die hard supporters will go along with almost anything. I do think there’s a line somewhere that he could cross that would cause some of them to leave, but every time some new thing comes up and they go along with it, that line moves a little farther away.
However, he needs more than just the flavor-aid connoisseurs to win an election. A lot of the people who vote for him will be doing so simply because the feel like things aren’t great and want a change. They will vote while holding their nose, or just ignoring all the insanity around Trump because after a while it turns to white noise.
Convincing those voters that Trump isn’t going to be a better alternative is possible, and it’s probably easier to convince them Trump is old and unfit than it is to win them over on policy arguments. Way too many people vote (or not) based on vibes, and this line of attack works on that level.
I’m mostly concerned that the media has immunized too many people to his madness such that they effectively chose trump years ago and haven’t at all reevaluated that decision because the media has been sane-washing everything he does.

An ever changing ceiling based only on the info provided through the media without any self analysis based on any facts.

Apparently that line was telling his supporters to mask and vaccinate.
