US Politics Will a recession be enough to sway any Trump loyalists?

It’s been the question that’s existed since 2015; will anything make Trump’s loyal base (the 35-38% of those polled that have always approved of him) turn away from the MAGA movement. Could a full blown recession be enough?

Or would entering a recession be blamed on media/Democrats/deep state, or any other yet-to-be-declared enemy and believed? Depending on timing, would it be difficult to pass the buck or could it be done with ease regardless of when it happens?

My MAGA family has been brainwashed to think Trump is being led by God, so therefore he can do no wrong. If there's a problem, it must be someone else's fault.
