His base is with him and that's all he believes he needs

A majority of Americans (59%) disagree with what the president said in his tweets last week about four Democratic congresswomen of color, including 44% who disagree strongly with what he said. But 40% of the country agrees with what Mr. Trump said. 
"'Progressive' Democratic Congresswomen" should "go back" to their countries, he tweeted last Sunday. 
And in a nation which nine in 10 Americans believe is divided along racial lines, sharp partisan and racial differences define their views. Among Democrats, disagreement with what the president said runs high, at 88%. Most of those in agreement with the president are from his party, with 82% of Republicans agreeing, including 47% who strongly agree with the statements. Independents mirror the country overall — 58% disagree, including 41% who strongly disagree.

The current CW seems to be that he has 2020 in the bag as long as his base of Real Americans sticks with him in the only states that matter. (The rest of us just don't count at all...)

So, despite the fact that the majority of the country is appalled, this could be working for him.

Got democracy?
