Man, this guy's so disgusting I'm at the point where I pretty much assume anyone supporting him is just as disgusting as him now.
This kind of fritzl-esque stuff should have turned away anyone remotely reasonable by this point.

I've reposted this story a million times.
Right after the 2016 election, the NY Times had a panel with the creators of all the top political TV series. West Wing; House of Cards: Scandal, any you could name.
All the writers and producers said the same thing; if they'd had a fictional character say that they 'liked soldiers who didn't get captured' the TV networks and advertisers would demand that the character be shown getting hate from all Americans.
The media reported all the horrible things Trump said in 2016 and people still voted for the pig.
It was so outlandish that many of these folks opted to believe the media was slandering him over him just being that scummy of a person.
The character-assassination on "The Media" (granted some of that was self-inflicted) was really successful, allowing anyone to follow whatever narrative they desired without shame.
Another story that I've been forced to repeat.
Conservative woman goes on 'The View' TV show to defend Donnie after the pussy grabber tape comes out.
One of the women on the panel keeps saying 'pussy' over and over. Finally the Conservative woman asks the other lady to stop using that vulgar language.
There was a time when some of the Libertarian-minded conservatives said Trump was going to legalize weed. I think these two instances have an important relation: they are examples where conservatives of different types are superimposing their own beliefs onto Trump. He thus becomes the "perfect" candidate in their mind; the one who directly aligns with them in every way. This belief is very durable, able to withstand any facts that come from objective reality.
I'm sure at some point Trump actually came out in favor of legal weed, exactly the same way he said he was for strong 'Red Flag' laws. He's a child who will say anything
he'll let them hurt who they want to hurt and that's all they care about
He also hurts them, but they are too stupid to realize that.
Another another story I've repeated many times.
Trump had an ongoing lottery where the winners would get to dine in the White House with Trump and Melania. Ran for years and never had a single winner.
As low as I hold his voters, Trump despises them more.
I had watched Veep before that election and also thought the same thing. Even a very satirical comedy could never get away with even 1 Trumpism.
People hold fictional media to a higher standard than reality.
The problem with fiction, it has to be plausible. That's not true with non-fiction. — Tom Wolfe
Or, as I have pointed out, in the "President Luthor' comics, super villain Lex Luthor was objectively a better leader than Trump. Brought in people from both parties; put all his assets in a blind trust; disclosed all his financial records.
Creepy fucker was president, WTF is wrong with this country?
There are tons of creepy fuckers that love Trump because he's a creepy fucker.
They just happen to live in key electoral college states.
It's because he's their creepy fucker.
If Jesus came down from heaven and ran as a Democrat, these people would all still vote Trump.
Do not underestimate the power of tribal instincts in social primates.
This is great point. If Trump was a Democrat they'd be fuming and calling him a godless, revolting, piece of shit.
Republicans.
Democrats aren't putting forth any great candidates either but at least they're not scraping the bottom of the humanity barrel for the worst piece of shits possible like republicans have been doing as of late.
I mean it’s not even in the top 100 reasons why he should not have people vote for him
Exactly. If he's kept out of the white house for a 2nd term because the biggest crime he's committed is fucking a pornstar, our justice system is a failure.
It's not a crime to fuck them or to pay them to be silent about it.
He's on trial for fraud with where he got the money from which is funny.
If the 'billionaire' paid for it out of pocket I don't think anything that happened would be illegal.
Republicans are what is wrong with this country.
Lots of very stupid people
It's specifically racist people. Yes that is a subgenre of stupid. But I think it is important to note they are both dimwitted and want to watch other people suffer.
Does anyone remember that Bill Clinton got impeached for a fucking blow job in the oval office and lying about it on national television?
Yet we elect a president with multiple scandals, including paying a porn star hush, money for an affair while he was married. The hypocrisy in this country is ridiculous.
You are able to see hypocrisy because you value truth and integrity.
A Repub values only white supremacist hierarchy, so the idea that they would condemn both or condemn neither is incomprehensible.
He's the leader of a cult. Trump infected an army to do his bidding.
I don't like to judge other people's actions but after all of the warning signs:
"Have you had an STD?" Spanking with the magazine after she insults him "You look like my daughter"
Why did she sleep with him? I hope she got paid. If it was just on the advice of her publicist I hope she fucking fired them.
Well . . . yeah, she got paid. That's what the trial is about.
She got paid to keep quiet about it much later.
Check out her interview on Jimmy Kimmel. Apparently he's got a stumpy mushroom.
Was that the one with the comparison to toad from the Mario games?
He also repeatedly asked her to call him daddy for the whole minute of it.
I wouldn't want to sleep in the same zipcode as this choad.
I really feel Melania gets a big payout if trump is proven to have cheated on her in court. He only seems concerned in denying the affair, not the actual matter at hand. Maybe this breaks her prenup, and she can divorce him now.
By the way, of you ever get offered a deal where you get a fortune if trump is proven to do something stupid in court, you sign that thing.
