Like many conservatives who care about specific aspects of government (in my case, the Supreme Court). I voted for President Trump. I don’t say that with pride or disdain, but indifference. It wasn’t personal — it was business. While some conservatives are happy with Trump for the policies he’s initiated and others are furious with what he’s failed to do or backtracked on, over the last two years, particularly the last few months, a faction of those two groups have started to unite over two things: character and personality.

As allegations of Trump’s mistress swarmed and evidence of hush-money appeared, many on the Right shrugged: He is what we thought he was, and to some extent this is true. Most voters realized Trump was a womanizer and bragged about those ventures. Many, including myself, have justified this by saying despite Trump’s indescrepencies, he was and is still a better president than Hillary Clinton would have been.
