might do it because it could affect them if they fly commercial.

Billionaires don't care because they have private jets and are so insulated. They can go live in Dubai for a while if they have to and wait it out.

His "base" - the cult followers - have already decided he's the 2nd coming and everything he does is "god's will". I watched the memes during election day - "god has spoken" etc - they are really around the bend. They will jump on any excuse to protect him. He accomplished taking down Roe v. Wade and next will work on the court to decide that there should be no separation of church & state. THAT is why they voted for him. Deporting people and/or abusing women is just extra fun for them.
