What’s even more puzzling is that line of reasoning was one reason why trump was elected in the first place: increase domestic oil supply and get out of foreign wars

It stops being puzzling when you recall that Trump is a con man. This whole thing was never about making America great again, it was about lining Trump and his family's pockets. By every metric which matters to Trump, things are going exactly according to plan.

And when will Trump supporters realize this?

At this point, they simply cannot let themselves. Admit all their bloviating at family reunions was bullshit? Admit that annoying socialist nephew was right all along?

They simply can't admit to themselves what they did, the guilt alone would be paralyzing.
