Policy vs. Principle

Daily I am appalled by the lack of morality displayed in the office of the presidency. Certainly Donald Trump does not follow any norms; in fact, that is why many people voted him. I have to wonder, though, why some of his base continues to support him. I try to understand why people voted for him, and I know there were causes a certain population believed in, and the Democratic party did not represent these particular causes. I can even understand how people in the middle of the country did not feel their voices were heard. But now that he continues to dismantle the office of the presidency-daily-I cannot understand how these same people can be on board. We are not talking about POLICY, but instead principle. What are the principles of a man who seeks to pardon HIMSELF and his family from an investigation where he says he is innocent? How can people with no money find it fine that he refuses to release his taxes, and is "terrified" of an investigation into his finances? Clearly he has committed crimes; is probably in office because of Russian interference (which he says is fake news)-then why speak about pardon? Every day someone else quits, is fired (he thinks he is on "The Apprentice") and he talks about a health policy that strips millions of their insurance as "beautiful." Senators, doctors, the AARP and so many other lobbying groups have said the policy lacks decency, humanity and-in truth-his economically disadvantaged fan base will absolutely have NO insurance. Where is his moral compass? Where is his intellect? And more worrisome, in truth, is where is the morality of the people who continue to look the other way and say this is okay? Would these same people care if their children displayed this level of moral indecency? I think not!
