Cognitive Dissonance? Gob smacking, I agree. But then you and I probably equate intelligence and integrity (or at least a red line of some sort, like belief in the Constitution) with good character and honor, and we are apparently wrong. Or we assume intelligence and character would never support Trump behavior. We are definitely wrong about that. Or we have to redefine character at the very least.

For all these Republicans who either quit the administration because they realized he was a delusional maniac or who stood up against him despite his attempts to end our democracy through coercion and ruining their lives personally, but still maintain they will vote for him in 2024 if he's the nominee, I think we should play them Trump's "Shoot someone on Fifth Avenue" clip over and over so they can tell us how right he was when he said it.
