I think that "would like to think" applies more when he was pissing off the Democrats (and Brazilians, Ukrainians, British, Germans, Canadians, South Africans, etc.); it looks like he's since burned his bridges with the Republicans in general and Trump in particular, which I believe leaves him with the support of Russia (who may just be trolling) and China (at least until BYD et al. are big enough to absorb the Chinese Tesla factory workers).
