    While the president has publicly faced allegations from two dozen women, this book reveals another 43 allegations of alleged inappropriate behavior, including 26 instances of unwanted sexual contact.

    At this point, anyone who still supports him is willingly supporting a literal monster. One or two different women coming forward, I can see why someone might not believe them or write them off as some sort of personal or business vendetta. But almost 50 women have come forward to describe disgusting behavior.

    It seems to me that people who still support him care more about stopping progressive (or even slightly moderate) ideas than having someone with good moral character in the White House.

      Well, he was voted in after being caught on tape bragging about it. The whole thing makes me feel extremely pessimistic about how much Americans even care about their president being a serial offender.

      The hypocrisy is extremely frustrating. Republicans will still pass laws designed to punish women for having sex. Meanwhile they let an actual sexual offender lead the country.

        Again, I don't think that it's that they don't care about him being a serial offender. I think they just care more about making abortion illegal and their right to bear arms. They don't care who is defending those rights, as long as they're being defended.

        Power doesn't care about hypocrisy or breaking the law, it only cares about preserving and enhancing power.

        Everything else is superfluous to that end.

        Trump was successful because he represented power to those who feel they have none. And in that way he is beyond any moral or legal judgement.

      You give them too much credit. They only care about winning and supporting their hero.
