That is fine as far as it goes, but your argument assumes that the Trump supporter has a complete and well-informed position.  I think more of his supporters are ignorant and/or misinformed, and if they are not wilfully ignorant then you may well be able to educate them and in doing so make them less supportive of Trump and his kind. 

I have a friend who's a Trump supporter, and I recently explained to him that a "trade deficit" doesn't involve the US government handing Mexico a pile of money. 

Do you think Trump voters are not voting in their own self-interest?

I don't think that's universally true.  For example, though not all Trump supporters are racist, most racists seem to support Trump.  Even if Trump isn't motivated by racism at all, they perceive his policy proposals as having a "racist" outcome (correctly, I think), and are voting in that interest.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
