Completely aside from this, how can you support Trump while knowing that he doesn't support you and his VP actively fights against LGBT rights?
Our legal system is fragile and it's not at all clear that trans rights will win the day.
Or his education department? For something that isn't a priority, his Administration is acting strongly, broadly, and consistently on rolling back trans protections.
Even if I set aside the incorrect assertion that Trump can't do anything against transgendered persons, self-evidently he can look the other way, as can DOJ, and federal prosecutors. And now that means people are left to defend themselves, or not. Is that justice?

The Fair Housing Act is supposed to prevent racial discrimation in lending. Does it still happen? Yes. In fact it's widespread and it's institutionalized. It's baked into the system, and the free market, being amoral, games the system to the benefit of those who are already privileged and can pay for that privilege. This is maybe a surprise if you don't know about these things.

I think people have no idea how fragile the system is, in particular when the head of state impugns, without evidence, and denigrates the federal agencies we depend on to carry out the imperfect justice system that we have. Papering over reality with ideas the legal system will be the superman to save us from the malignancy in the White House is somewhere in between wishful thinking and ignorant.
You could find some plank of Trump's platform -- deregulation, for instance -- to be crucially important, and consider the rest of it to be pretty boring and less consequential.
You could consider him a moderate stopgap against [insert unhappy statement about Democratic agenda here].
There are plenty of innocent reasons why one might support Donald Trump.
(I voted against him, for what it's worth.)
