What? I'm 31 and I have never, in my life, seen a president get as attacked as Trump was, by the media, for everything he said/tweeted.

I'm in no way saying how much of that stuff I disagreed or agreed with, just pointing it out President Trump was not defended constantly, mostly, or even close to mostly by the groups that influence/manipulate the population. President Biden has like 80% of major American media defending most of what he says, on the other hand.

Anyway, back to the topic...

Yet he got constantly defended by millions... Even till this day.
You have just demonstrated it actually... Perfect example.

Will be interesting to know the costs and how Russia intends to fund this... They will likely be more combat effective due to better experience and equipment too.. Could get interesting.

What I did was not defending Trump, it was rejecting the idea that Trump was defended often by the media. But I misunderstood you, I had assumed you meant the media, not the people, as there are always millions of people that defend everything about each President. You will find millions of Obama loyalists out there to this day, and millions of Biden ones too, has nothing to do with just one President. When people vote for someone enthusiastically, then they feel they have to defend that person from criticism because it is how they justify making that vote in the first place. 80% of decisions are made emotionally, not logically, and we do irrational things, as humans, to continue justifying that decision, rather than face the reality that the decision we made may not have been as perfect as we make it in our heads. Every election has people that get sucked into this mindset for candidates from all sides.
