I think the easiest way to really defend Trump is just always to ask if people honestly think Hillary would have been better. I don't. Slicker but more dangerous and twice as heartless. Trump dumb stumbled into the Presidency but at least he didn't fucking steal it. And the comedy has been a virtual goldmine. I don't see how anyone can't have a chuckle at things like him saying he looks like Elvis and suggesting we rake the forests. Tekashi at least laughs at himself, his music and his success. Tekashi will probably fare better than anyone having a coronary over a bunch of greedy, corrupt, sleazebags playing politics.
I know a few people who honestly believe Hillary can save the universe from itself. They go on and on about this right being assailed, this group losing their rights, etc. and when I ask them to be specific all they can do is dodge and weave.
