I agree with you. Consequently, it's a shame that he was just handed a huge amount of information to bolster that claim.
Quote:I've had this feeling going back to 2016 that Trump supporters want to have their proverbial cake and eat it too where they like Trump because he isn't a wimpy rule-abiding wimp, because nice guys don't get stuff done. But at the same time anytime he's accused of being that rule breaker that makes him a perceived force to shake up the status quo his supporters have to clutch their pearls and act like Mr. Rodgers is being accused of capital murder, or something.
I think you're on the wrong track here. I think his supporters like him because he tells uncomfortable truths, or "tells it like it is.", as they see it. Chappelle touched on this when he mentioned Trump's commenting on his paying little taxes because he used loopholes put in place by Clinton and her ilk to benefit their donors. The fact that he both admitted to abusing the system, within the rules, and that the rules are skewed for people like him was further proof of what I pointed out above.
