    I dunno, was “the Island” part of the US? Cause if not, he would just tell his supporters it was fake news. They never cared about his character anyway.

      No, they absolutely care about his character. They love that he’s an unapologetic monster.

      If Trump was a decent, upstanding human, they’d hate him.

      I honestly haven’t wanted to know the details of the whole sordid affair enough to answer that question, although I can’t see how that would matter even if what they did was technically legal wherever it was.

      No, most of his voters never cared about his character, but a small percentage were more moderate Republicans for whom such things actually do matter (they’re true believers in “the conservative way”) - possibly just enough to have swayed things.
