If we were being honest, we would all admit that if the above accusations were about our fathers, brothers or anyone except President Corleone, we would assume that some wrongdoing had occurred. When accusations occur from a variety of unrelated sources, on a wide range of topics with evidence to support the suspicion of wrongdoing, it is logical to believe that the accused is not fully innocent.
What may even be worse is to realize is that millions of Trump supporters know that he is shady and immoral and don’t care. The loyalty that is shown to Trump is mind-boggling. At this point in his failing Presidency, it might be about them saving face. Admitting that he is cruel and abnormal could cause one an overwhelming sense of shame and guilt.
The narrative that Trump is just a “different” kind of politician is an attempt to deny unflattering and alarming assessments of him such as abnormal, unstable, undisciplined, thin-skinned and impulsive. The Rust Belt felt forgotten, and their rebelliousness resulted in a vote for ” Mr. Different” which has diminished US respect, weakened national security and hastened along with the inevitable decline of our planet.
Trump is sticking to his playbook of lying despite evidence to the contrary, blaming others for what he is being accused of, deflecting, spewing dramatic rhetoric, playing the victim and trying to destroy his opponents. However, the playbook is becoming a tired rerun, just like what happened to his reality show, ” the Apprentice”. The smarter and more honest of the Trump supporters are starting to get bored and looking to change the channel.
Innocent people are NOT continuously accused of crimes and scandals. Trump has a history of associating with criminal, marginal type characters. He likes thugs, crooked attorneys, liars, sexually immoral men, and financial criminals. But he IS a hell of a shyster salesman. Convincing disenchanted people that he relates to them cares about them and will rescue them was quite an accomplishment. Hopefully, the swamp of criminals that he has paraded through the campaign, The White House and jail or unemployment, is convincing evidence to people who voted for him that he has been guilty of lies, crimes, and immorality all along.
