I hope it was clear that the paragraph in italics was what I meant a Trump supporter would say, definitely not me. I most certainly don't regard him as a "genuine guy with good intentions for his country".

You have to deliberately choose not to believe in many things to support trump, and that means ignoring laws, the rights for and respect of your fellow humans, science, and many other things.

I 100% agree with you here.

Ok, gotcha. Thanks. Rereading it now makes sense.

Yeah I think I didn't point out the italics stuff because it seemed obvious in my head that this would be like a fake quote. I should have pointed it out. Now a huge bunch of people assume I somehow defend Trump, think his conviction doesn't matter, or think the thought process of a supporter makes sense/is correct. Of course it doesn't/isn't.

I also should not have put three different theses in one comment (the discrepancy between an individual as a moral person and his achievements, Trump supporters thinking - with the help of media - that it's not that big of a deal, and rehabilitation of felons/criminals). It got confusing. Not the best comment I've written in my life.

Anyway, my bad.
