To be clear, I am rooting for Trump. He is our quarterback for now, and we will win or lose with him at this point.

But just like the quarterback of your favorite team, he is not perfect. People that treat him like a deity, who is above being questioned, are not only misguided, but counter productive. If the QB throws an interception, it has to be dealt with, starting with putting the defense on the field, then handing the QB an iPad to see where/how he screwed up.

Without those things happening, the score will quickly get lopsided, especially if you’re already behind on the scoreboard. No one is, or should be, above critique, and expectations that they improve their performance over time. But with Trump, he is allowed to whatever he wants, including repeat mistakes, or make new ones, without ever having to face the music. And his record is not that great to begin with.

You just said you “may not” agree with Trump on everything, which sounds like you’re still not sure, but rather than ever admit when he does something questionable, you run out and try to defend him to the bitter end. That’s fine if you’re arguing with some leftist. But when you are arguing with true conservatives, and defending Trump doing something liberal, or ignorant, or sinful, you’ve lost site of the real battle.

I am sure I don't like Trump's unfaithfulness. I think I disagree with him, but not sure about his reasons, for not pardoning Assange. He may know some things about that that I don't.

I trust Trump more than E. Jean Carroll, but I am not an eyewitness. The other indictments are political or corrupt BS.

As far as the quarterback metaphor, some of the referees seem to be bought and paid for, or more likely deranged, but the game is fixed.
