So if Trump decides he wants Apple to make an iOS modification that helps the US government and hurts privacy, and he threatens to lead his supporters against them, bashing them on the campaign trail, would that be ok?

People tend to give Tim Cook a mulligan on China, because quite frankly, President Xi could almost destroy them, but Trump holds no such absolute power over them in the US, and they should be well within their power to push back and correct the administration for falsehoods, whether or not iPhone owners who happen to be Trump supporters like it or not.

I suspect they'll complain, but keep buying iPhones. Very few people are going to change their OS platform because of a political spat.
