People are always like omg his imperfections make him so real and authentic. But idk, this guy authentically fails all my moral metrics for just regular people —let alone political leaders. As a happily married woman to a wonderful man, I have little respect for men who disrespect their wives like this (and vice versa). And while I think all people are deserving of second chances, everything I know about this man tells me that this is who he really is. They’ve only been married since 2023, too! It’s such a low bar to clear… though higher than not having and walking around with a Nazi tattoo for 20 years.
