Trump will find that that support dwindles day by day. The country has always been split roughly down the middle between conservatives and liberals, and liberals are generally united against Trump.

What happens when his conservative base starts dwindling as he institutes more and more measures which run counter to both conscience and conservative principles?

Irrelevant. Trump was elected, he was appointed a couple of weeks ago, and he is in charge.

No one invented "support dwindles" comments when Obana's popularity was scraping rock bottom.

Furthermore, while Trump was in fact elected in a democratic election, the Attourney General was not. The Attourney General has no standing to deny a lawful order by the president.

Yes, they did. I mean, just googling "Obama support dwindles" falsifies that claim (even if a lot of the early hits are about Clinton in the last election); there's quite a lot from the right doing just what you claim no one did, foing back to at least 2010 in what I get on the first two pages of results.
