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".
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.
