Oh that is convenient. Trump is not a politician, he needs to drain swamps, they hate him for it ... but wait, he is just a politician behaving like a politician, he just lies like all of them do, nothing to see here all is good. Yeah I actually hate all the other politicians for their lies, but Trump is fine.
Next up, he fights corruption! Except the corruption that is necessary and just typical, of course. That's why his cabinet was full of Wall streeters and millionaires and SuperPAC leaders and folks who sell skyscrapers to Qataris for political favors and buy thirty thousand dollar desks. But they were loyal to Trump instead of any ideology or principle or party or the nation, so everything's fine. It's the right corrupt people!
All this self-deception... not by you of course, you just play a game, but as long as you don't take it too far you make for a believable Trump fan, and that is sad enough.
