Trump was a garbage fire of a human being when Republicans voted for him so every new revelation is merely confirmation of what we already knew, but since nobody changes their minds anymore the GOP simply expands their stockpile of excuses to allow them to continue as before
Conservatives by & large don’t believe Trump ever said anything all that bad about the troops, but by gum they are SHOCKED and APPALLED that the liberal media would try and sully the good name of their President with such a horrifying accusation
That’s just the coping mechanism; the GOP base needs to be inured to the avalanche of accusations against Trump to allow them to safely ignore them.
“Sure, Trump’s rude & impolitic. That’s just Trump being Trump! Of course the snowflakes won’t get it. It’s just more TDS.”
We now have an endlessly perpetuating cycle where Donald Trump is these Republicans’ last line of defense against a Deep-State-controllled mainstream media determined to say all of these terrible things about Donald Trump

When Trump dies, it’s gonna be like Henry Kissinger, or maybe Rush Limbaugh. The headlines will read WORLD’S BIGGEST ASSHOLE DIES. Sober-minded journalists will struggle to think of anything positive to say about the man while the masses rejoice and celebrate.
JURY SELECTION AT THE TRIAL OF THE WORLD’S BIGGEST ASSHOLE
LAWYER: Do you have any preconceptions about the World’s Biggest Asshole?
🔵: How could I not have any preconceptions about the World’s Biggest Asshole
LAWYER: Thank you for your time
LAWYER: Do you have any preconceptions about the World’s Biggest Asshole?
🔴: How could I POSSIBLY have any preconceptions about the World’s Biggest Asshole?

GOP: Time to pick a SCOTUS judge who will rule against abortion

(Senate Hearing)
DEMS: Can you tell us how you feel about abortion
GOP: HOW DARE YOU IMPOSE IDEOLOGICAL LITMUS TESTS
D: The GOP is trying to make abortion illegal
R: SILLY DEMOCRATS! 😂 The Supreme Court only overturned Roe v. Wade to allow the states the freedom to decide for themselves
D: But you are describing the “freedom” to prevent other people from having them
R: That’s the best kind!
D: If ending Roe v. Wade was so reasonable, why didn’t Barrett, Gorsuch or Kavanaugh admit it at their confirmation hearings
R: It is unreasonable to expect judges to honestly answer questions from activist Senators who were clearly trying to stop abortion from becoming illegal
RNC: In keeping with Republican campaigns of yore, we have worked tirelessly to court our conservative base! Now that the nomination is all wrapped up, it is time for our customary Pivot to the Center to demonstrate that we are a Party for all Americans…
TRUMP: The China Virus was a nothingburger that the Democrats amplified to make me look bad and masks were tyranny and Fauci is an idiot
RNC: Trump was instrumental in Operation Warp Speed, a government initiative to develop vaccines faster
TRUMP: I’m proud that I appointed the Supreme Court Justices who overturned Roe v. Wade
RNC: But really we pinky-swear that we’re not going to send women to jail for abortion or anything
