4. There'd be zero change.

Even though fundamentalists/evangelicals are ALL about supporting Israel as a vehicle for their fantasies of the apocalypse, their support wouldn't change. Not because they would support Trump over Israel, but because they'd be told something different. Who's going to tell them something like that? They won't believe reputable news sources, and right-wing news sources wouldn't tell them if Trump supported Hamas. They wouldn't ever release a video or audio clip.

If Trump did express support for Hamas, here's what would happen:

1. Reputable news sources would report it. MAGAts wouldn't see it for a while.
2. Right-wing news sources wouldn't report it. MAGAts wouldn't see it for a while.
3. Alex Jones or some 4chan asshole or whomever would call the video/audio clip a deep fake.
4. Fox"News" would report #3. So would Tucker Carlson and Glenn Beck, OANN, etc., etc.
5. MAGAts would claim that the left tried to frame Donald Trump as supporting Hamas and claim that he's the bigliest supporter of Israel, ever.
6. Trump, seeing which way the wind was blowing, would say the same thing and say it was more "wit chunt."

Then they'd all go to viewing parties of 2000 Mules or something stupid like that, and put up another Trump sticker on their unreasonably sized truck.
