This is the nub of the matter. The reality is it has been very easy to criticise Trump from day 1 ( even before) because to anyone who knows anything about human beings he is clearly an unhinged person suffering from a narcissistic personality disorder. This fact has little to do with politics because a President being a republican or democrat or anything else is irrelevant if he is as loony as Donald. It’s just plain dangerous and we are seeing some of the results now.There is no Trump witch-hunt. Trump's many failings are only too apparent.
It’s also why his supporters think that the press is biased. They report negative stuff because Trump gives them so much to be negative about.
I find it really hard to understand why anyone, no matter what their political persuasion is, could support a person in such an important world position who is so obviously a loony tune.
