“At the heart of the case for Trump has always been the notion that, sure, he’s rough around the edges, but we have to put aside our piddling character concerns and just be glad that he is so strong, because the left presents such an existential threat to America that we cannot survive without Trump. … They knew Trump was a louse. They knew he lied, betrayed his business partners and his wives, spread false rumors, played dirty, and did it all without a flicker of conscience. When Trump’s character was raised as an issue by opponents, the knee-jerk MAGA response was not to defend him, not really, but to stress the enormity of the Democrats. … But now they find themselves defending Trump against the one sin that has given their movement its chief moral stature: child abuse.” (09/10/25)
