I believe that a great many people who claim to be voting for Trump despite his flaws are actually drawn to him because of his severe defects of character.

Agreed, Carol. It is the center of the attraction for many. And many of them invent nonsense explanations to cover it. I know someone who says Trump is the only one who will stand up to Putin. Trump will certainly come to a quid pro quo deal with Putin, and my friend will call it "standing up" to him. There Trump goes being so smart again.

Is your friend also one of the Trumpites who are outraged that Biden is actually standing up to Putin (if not as vigorously as some would want)?

It's very strange to see MAGA-land veer between "Putin invaded because of Biden's weakens" and "Puttin invaded because he was provoked by threatening talk about NATO expansion."
