I've long thought that there has to be something wrong with people who insist on cheerleading everything this guy (and his maladministration) says and does, and this explains it very well. It's like the people who are his hardcore supporters are mostly hardwired to be assholes, and supporting Trump gives them the ability to indulge in that while hiding behind politics.
