I'm keeping a running tally of all the formerly loved ones who Trump fans choose him over--

Things like "law enforcement and the FBI"
Football
Our intelligence services
John McCain
Now their own daughters

Because he can
Because he has
Because he does
Because it allows others to do the same
Because his supporters love it
Because we hate it
Because nothing ever becomes of it
Because he loves the attention
Because it wears down the nation
Because it puts him on the front page
Because its makes him the center of attention
