Trump is no paragon of virtue. Whether it's his 2024 conviction on felony charges related to falsifying business records tied to hush money payments, or smearing slain director Rob Reiner on social media, Trump's character is questionable and off-putting, and at times immoral and unethical.
Of course, I wish Trump's actions and words were always moral, ethical and wise. If he embodied these virtues, it would give his opponents less to criticize. I expect better. All Americans should, as a matter of moral purity and public pride.
Still, conservatives like me often feel the need to apologize for him, defend our vote and explain our support of Trump. Although I understand the need to blame voters, it's frustrating. I don't think I'm responsible for every choice he makes just because I voted for him to lead the country.

I mean, didn't they spend the last 10 years saying they voted for him because he was the exact virtuous embodiment of their god and therefore acted with infallibility? If he wanted to put kids in cages, it's just, moral and legal because the authority came directly to him from his very personal , tremendous version of the both testaments equal 2 Corintians bible.
