Decent individuals with personal stories support an indecent, vulgar, vengeful, self-serving president. How that has happened is a challenge the pundits struggle to answer.

An inflated (egomaniacal) ego, motivated by personal gain, is not something to admire. Expecting an honest advocate from a deranged psychopath, the label applied by his psychologist niece, is wishful thinking at best. Aside from the loss of essential services and world stability, children will learn by example to disrespect the law, social norms, the public good and their parents.

Again, why would decent individuals support an autocrat with behavioral issues, and the inability to read or process information?
