He should have said, "Look. It would have been great if the Democrats didn't cause this problem, but since they did, we have to fix the problem they made. It is unfortunate it costs money and that it may be messy but it shouldn't have happened in the first place."
Let me reframe this:
SINCE YOU didn't care about the 100x crimes of the Biden family, I don't care about any alleged crimes you lob against Trump.
This discussion has been going on long before Trump was charged and is at least part of the reason people don't care about Trump's charges.
Until Democrats care about their own, and face criminal charges, I don't care what any Republican does. Sad to say, really. But, until justice is equal for both sides, don't care.
I think it might hit after he's in office. Declassification. CIA files. Epstein list. Diddy list. Corruption exposed. Deep state exposed. Then people will have to grapple with those they trusted or put on a pedestal.
I'm sorry, I don't have any pre-political stuff for you but my two cents.
It might be helpful to note that King David cheated and lied. Abraham didn't always follow what God said. Paul killed Christians. Peter disavowed Jesus. Even Mary and Martha did not always do what God wanted. Etc. The Bible is filled with imperfect Christians.
And the Bible also is filled with non-Christians who do the work of God without intending to. Cyrus. Pharaoh. Pilate.
So, I guess my statement is, we all have to assess and weigh the good and evil because no one is perfect. I happen to believe that the good of Trump outweighs the bad and vice versa. Whether or not Trump or Kamala are REAL Christians. EVEN IF Trump is a fake Christian, it would still be possible for him to be doing the work of God. Trump stopped wars and brought peace. He stopped child traffickers more than anyone before him. He wanted people to have a choice whether or not to take an experimental shot. Etc.
Does this include the state officials who openly refuse to help ICE?
