One of the tactics that Trump's defenders and some of these Republicans have mastered is, they figured out that one of the best ways to defend Trump is not to defend him because you can't defend him, but rather make it seem like everybody cannot be trusted. There is no truth. There is nothing you can verify in this world, and nothing can be believed, and so if that's theuth, there is nothing you can verify in this world, and nothing can be believed, and so if that's the case, why do anything?

Fight so hard that he's gonna receive the Purple Heart, but not be in danger.

Just enough danger to get the Purple Heart, but not so much danger that he doesn't come back. Get the Purple Heart, win everything. Then wait for Trump to become President.
