sure, he is a misogynistic philanderer, brazenly abuses racial tropes, adulates despots, routinely selects corrupt and/or ethically compromised individuals for critical roles, diminishes the esteem of his office at every opportunity, and presents an all-around horrible role model for children

but the economy is doing so well, I don't see how anyone could not support him

It's not that he's making policy decisions directly to make more money for himself. I don't think he's smart enough to know how to do that. It's more that he already has financial ties and personal financial ties override any other factor in his decisions. Well, except when people praise him. See "policy decisions made after watching Fox and Friends".

I guess your last sentence is what completely baffles me.

Does getting sweetheart deals from foreign governments in relation to your business interests count as a "policy decision"? Honestly not sure.

Trump continues to suck up to Mets by referring to Stormy Daniels as "Horseface" in his most recent tweet.

I know how rock hard Mets gets at outright misogyny

"I am shocked and appalled at President Trumps sexist language and have no problem in criticizing him for this tweet...

Also, did you know that this has nothing to do with dear leader's love for me, and in addition to criticizing the president I must also call this woman dumb for attempting to slander the golden god that is Donald Trump."

"Trump has slandered the Jewish people and I have no problem criticizing him for this...

But Also, did you know that he moved the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem? It's clear that what he said was just words and the real way to judge dear leader's love for me is in his actions"

Mets ignored it because that is how he avoids dealing with his poorly conceived worldview, but I already told Mets how anti-Semitic demonstrations/acts have increased more since Trump became president than at any other time since they started recording it in 1979

It’s funny how “anti-semitism” is weaponized by imperialists against the left when it comes to condemning Israel for its appalling war crimes, apartheid, and downright fascist government. But when it comes to actual anti-semitism, those same people are nowhere to be found.

A Jewish person might even wonder if their religion/ethnicity is being used against them/exploited to justify American foreign policy rather than out of any concern for the Jewish people

I think the policy decision is technically 'being brazenly and openly corruptible'
