45 is an abusive husband, and america isn't willing to press charges: "He'll change."

"He's new at this."
"His heart is in the right place."
"It's how everyone is."
"This is the real world, just deal with it."
"All presidents are like this."
"I should have known I'd have no health care because I don't deserve it."
"It was only once."
"He says he'l take care of us."
"He's better than my last president."
"It's not his fault: It's the system."

....it's how he acts, especially his tweets. He will blatantly lie and gaslight. He will never admit being wrong. This behavior is very familiar to anyone who has been in an abusive relationship.

When I read the tweets and FB posts of Trump supporters, I can't help but come away with the feeling that he is knowingly appealing to the spouse abuse demographic. I just can't imagine being in a loving relationship with any of these people. It's their lack of logic and their demonization of their opponents, and their constant reference to "crybabies" and "losers".
