If he's wrong, the Republicans and Trump will lose politically and America will be hurt economically and internationally. If he's right, then the Republicans, Trump and the country will win.
2+2 equals 4, therefore, the Earth is flat.
It's really somewhat interesting to see how fellow Americans minds work. If Trump lies, it's because he's taken literally, it's not a lie. If a Dem lies, it's a lie.
We should lock Clinton up for her email server. But Manafort is a 'good guy' deserves a pardon, didn't do anything wrong, like Flynn, lying to the FBI isn't a lie, it's because what he told them was taken literally.
Obama put immigrant kids into detention, so Trump is no worse despite the massive differences in how and why those kids ended up in detention.
Someone objected to Hilter. When Rep. Randy Weber said Obama is basically worse than Hitler, because he's a Republican, we should not be so upset, he didn't mean it literally.
To my non American readers here; I'm sorry you have to see this shitstorm and worse, it affects you. Many Americans are as shocked and saddened as our minds don't work like some here. The majority of American voters did not vote for Trump (oh, then there is his conspiracies about voter fraud, like so many of his claims, a bold face lie that has zero proof). We'll get this fixed and hopefully we'll be better for the experience but it will take time. Meanwhile, unfortunately, the US has white immigrants that believe in racism, the concept that their opponents should be locked up, that the free press is all fake, that one needs no compassion for babies removed from their moms etc.
