Sometimes it's hard to get an exact read on a guy. Sometimes a person's history is contradictory, or obscure. Sometimes you just don't have enough information to make a really informed judgment.
So, sometimes you have to use the limited information you've got to try to assess a person or policy.
And here's where others can be so helpful.
Let's suppose you're young and confused and you keep hearing/reading anti-semitic statements. You may wonder why people hate the Jews, and if there is something inherently wrong with them. But once you notice WHO hates them, namely the Nazis, the Muslims, Black Muslims, and Black Race Hustlers like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton...if you've got a brain, you're going to figure out that it's pretty likely the Jews are alright...
...with enemies like that.
I'm starting to see Donald Trump in the same way. I don't know anything about him, really. I've never paid attention to his career, his TV shows, his bombast. So all the smearing of his personality, character, seriousness had me wondering if he really was just a buffoonish clown jumping into the GOP primary as a sort of publicity stunt.
But then I paid attention to who was doing the most to belittle Trump, and lo and behold, it was the worst, corrupt, communist Democrats and the crony GOP elites/establishment, the Inside-the-Beltway Media. You know, The WASHINGTON FRAT CLUB. The
Insider Ruling Class that is in it for the Power, Prestige & Money, and doesn't want some outsider upstart rocking
that boat by exposing the wheelin' & dealin', corruption, hustles, lies and outright thievery, with Truth to the Peasantry.
So, yeah. Trump's enemies list turns out to be a powerful reason to support him.
