i cant find another example of this sort of endorsement in a brief glance at google, which is not to say it hasnt happened before.
just because it is not traditional doesnt mean it's stupid. can you find another example of an american party switching presidential candidates at the last minute? it is as much as saying he doesnt endorse either, or that he'll support the winner. it would be stupid if he was a normal person running a normal campaign, but hes not. hes a wannabe dictator who depends on doublespeak and confusion and lies and contradiction and insult. it works for him because the people who vote for him are stupid. it is smart to take advantage of stupidity. trump is playing both sides, so he always comes out on top.
you know what is stupid? spending any amount of time at all talking about this fucking nothing burger. the man lead a coup. he ignored a pandemic because it was politically expedient to do so at the time. his mental calculus is not the same as yours or mine, it doesnt include morality or longer term planning than the next immediate personal objective. he rapes children and you wanna complain to me (in all unimaginative ignorance) that its stupid that he endorsed two candidates for the same race.
i will give you props for actually replying instead of dropping a kneejerk hivemind disagreement downvote to fortify the opinion you came in with.
