Donald Trump, Lesser Evil

Admire Trump?!

I tell my children that Trump is a thorough rasha, guilty of violating most of the sheva mitzvot, and possessed of terrible middos. But that is easy to discern. What makes Trump different is that even though all of the other politicians/celebrities are just as guilty, they are able to somehow not broadcast everything that crosses their minds, and are therefore able to fool us, and most importantly, when he had power, he did much less than everyone else in a similar position to harm ordinary citizens. I can not fathom why I had friends who celebrated Biden’s election. Was Trump worse than any of these cretins? Is Biden any better? I have never celebrated anyone’s election, and anyone who does shows that he is too biased to, for example, give a decent halachic opinion that touches on current issues.
