Whenever Donald Trump is accused of something, he responds by accusing his opponent of that exact thing. The idea is less to argue that Mr. Trump is clean than to suggest that everyone else is dirty.
There’s an underlying truth to what he says that his cult vibes with: almost anyone who makes it anywhere in American politics is a sleazeball and/or criminal. He’s basically making the case that he’s just as corrupt as everyone else, so the cult loves him for “telling it like it is”
The response is extremely weak, because his opponents implicitly declare themselves squeaky clean. It just makes people hate them more 😒
