I agree with what Karen said, out of respect for the office, even though I didn't vote for him. I'm a Christian and there are a couple of places in the Bible where it says to give respect to and pray for one's leaders. So that's what "support" means to me. To pray for him and his family, to be willing to abide by his decisions even if I don't agree. To be informed and willing to speak up for my informed opinion, and to keep my mouth shut and get informed when I am not.
Supporting the troops is a little different, though. I pray for their welfare too, but I have a friend who collects magazines and toiletries for an organization that ships them to the troops. I give her magazines to send when I'm finished with them. So there is a level of support in terms of "stuff" that doesn't apply to the president.
