The media never captures how voters are exactly this fickle. My Asian mom voted for Trump both times but shared Michelle Obama's speeches to all her friends and said she wished Michelle ran. (hexbear.net)

Seriously, half the reason a lot of people like Trump is he's a wacky, edgy, "outsider" who doesn't give a fuck about decorum. Only nerd ass West Wing fans care that he's a felon, for everyone else it just adds to his bad boy mystique.

Everyone also knows he's done much worse things that he'll never get punished for in any way. I don't understand why Trump getting a slap on the wrist over some financial regulations is supposed to be some huge win.
