    I don’t understand why Trump voters want to judge Trump on his words rather than his actions.

    Because it’s simpler. Actions are many and have complex chains of reactions leading to various outcomes.

    Meanwhile, after the election he literally said “I’m going to fix everything now.” Simple, easy, and something objectively positive. Like the other comment pointed out, this isn’t a decision arrived at by thinking about things.
