It is really only in recent headlines, but anyone who's been paying attention has known about it since last year.
Or my guess is that they're just really, really that gullible.
Trump has never hidden how shitty he is. Whoever supports him must be fine with it. I don't think "gullible" works as an excuse.
I'm not saying it's an excuse, but the people in question are supporters of women's rights and LGBTQ+ (amongst other things), but they don't believe that trump is a threat in that manner.
Humans can be pretty stupid... Yes, I'm sure most of his supporters are actually approving of his shittiness, but I also think that some people are easily misled, especially if they don't pay attention to the news or only get their news from one source.
