What would be a Trumpian disgrace?

[Shushersbedamned]

Authoritarian followers tend to be submissive and uncritical of accepted leaders.

You mean like just about everybody ?

"But we elected him as President, not saint". Seriously, they've already rationalised him having an affair with a literal porn star literal weeks after his wife delivered a child, and then literally paid her off. No, it's not the theoretical worst thing possible, but as far as scandalous behaviour goes, it's gotta be right up there

What do you mean by rationalizing?

No, only about 20% are wired that way, if i recall the neurological research correctly, but, like most things, there is a continuum.

I recall it being around 80%

What can Trumpler do to cause bile to rise forth from the orifices of his most devout followers.

My good sir, that was a good one.

What if he spoke in glowing terms of admiration for a mass murdering tyrant? Would that be disgraceful?

Talk about loaded terms: “glowing terms” and “mass murdering tyrant”. Those are rather subjectively decided.

It is one duty of the President to sometimes talk with some unsavory or even evil people. That doesn’t make him one.

If this is the standard you are applying then the UN could be decried for sure. It could even be argued that the Noble Peace Prize has been given to someone meeting your standard.

Hmmm... Googling.
Found a few mentioning percentages:

25% -- authoritarian followers
Maybe 30% -- Altemeyer on Trump’s Supporters
20% - 25% -- A word from Dr. Bob Altemeyer on Donald Trump and Authoritarian Followers.

We have a lot about glory so tell me, what does Trump need to do for it to be called a disgrace? Those who think he's not a disgrace already.

Losing the election to liberals.

Seems like this answers @fantome profane 's question pretty well. And the answer is "apparently not"
