Certainly. Trump does bear a cost for doing it this way.
Honestly I think it is a bigger cost than he thought it would be. For example, after the primaries there were whispers in Christian conservative circles that the Trump camp was surprised at how impossible it was for him to get Christian conservative support. His camp thought Christian conservatives would rally around him since they always do that when against a Democrat. What they didn't properly adjust for was that Trump personal style upset so many Christian conservatives emotionally that they rationalized ways that they thought him being President would be even worse than one of their most despised people ever (Clinton). It's kinda crazy honestly. I saw this with some people I know personally, and I see it regularly when I got to Christian conservative sites. Some of them, man, they've gotten to the point that they would support blowing up the Sun if Trump was against it.
