Sticking With Trump, No Matter What

WE HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN that Trump will not go down easy, without a fight. We can expect much the same from his supporters. Amazingly, at this point, the president still "enjoys" an approval rating of around 40 percent. In what other country would such mass delusion be possible? Only in America, as we like to say. Based merely on his comments on twitter, it is difficult to imagine anyone respecting someone who speaks with such hatred, anger, and dishonesty so much of the time. Those who still support Trump, nearly half the country, have forfeit ed any claim to moral integrity, and this is most noticeable among the religious right wing,the politically conservative evangelical crowd. one month before Trump was elected, he was revealed as a self proclaimed sexual predator, proud to be such. That did nothing to dissuade his supporters, and was a harbinger of their attitude today. Hush money payments to former lovers? that's old news, they say, we've heard all that before; as if having heard it all before somehow minimizes the disgusting criminality of transferring campaign money to that purpose. Trumper's response to the Mueller investigation is even more interesting, ina bizarre way. he obviously has no evidence of collusion with Russians operatives, so he needs to shut down the investigation. Actually, the opposite is true: the very fact that Mueller has been working this case for a year and a half quite obviously points to the fact that he has something substantive, something major, to investigate, and that the material is of such consequential nature that it is taking a great deal of time and effort to sort it all out, and present the facts in an organized, accurate manner. Trump supporters, so ardent for so long, have gone into a sort of denial, refusing to believe that their judgment could have been so wrong, their loyalties so misplaced, their own moral integrity so fragile and questionable. Imagine how these same people would be responding if a Clinton or an Obama were in Trump's situation. These right wing Christian reprobates would be ready for a lynching, or to "lock her up".
