>People who vote for him, at a minimum, are ok with his behavior.
This would suggest that people who voted for Obama are ok with conducting drone strikes against civilian weddings, wouldn't it?
I voted for Obama. Obama conducted drone strikes against civilian weddings. I'm not okay with that behavior. I'd still vote for Obama again, given the opportunity.
Yes. Condoning violence on your political enemies is unreasonable. Raping is unreasonable. Selling state secrets is unreasonable. Same for inciting an insurrection.
You don't need to check two sides to decide if someone is unreasonable. You apply a norm to an individual. This "whataboutism" is indicative of poor reasoning.
That he continues to lie about an election, knowing full well it's a lie, to manipulate millions of people to provide him power, which he uses for his own ends, at the expense of those he's persuading, is unreasonable.
He lies about who pays for a tariff - that will hurt his voters. He lied about the effects of his last set of trade wars, which bankrupted a record number of farmers during a good economy, when foreign countries replied with counter tarrifs. Those and current farmers have now lost markets that took them decades to build up. Trading partners get replaced when they are not trustworthy, and Trumps' trade chaos made the US vastly less trusted as a trading partner when a single person can so disrupt trade.
He lied about bringing down the debt then ran it up faster than any president in history. When even Fox news asked him about this fact, he lied to them, directly, on TV, again to manipulate his crowd.
The reason his side hates allowing debates with real time fact checking is he cannot stick to truth and still get elected.
He's done this his entire life. He claimed in his first profile piece in 1973 that he graduated first in his Wharton class, when in fact he graduated with no honors. There is no recorded point in his life where he has not lied constantly.
So yes, he is unreasonable.
That doesn't make his voters unreasonable, just uninformed. There is a difference. I suspect uninformed is easier to fix than the pathology that Trump shows. Trump deliberately manipulates them because they are unformed by testing the repeating constant stream of lies designed to obtain power for Trump.
One way to help them become more informed is for their leader to stop feeding them lies to manipulate them.
> If they are, then you get 50% of the US population unreasonable. What would you do with this knowledge?
Only around 20% of the US population voted for Trump in 2020 (75M out of 346M US Population). And a lot of them only voted that way because they always vote Republican. A significant chunk (more than any other election) of Republican voters have turned away from being Republican due to Trump.
Note that Republicans have lost the popular vote for President every time but once since 1992 (no other major party in US history has been this unpopular by this metric this long). They realize they are becoming less and less popular, and are lashing around to retain power. Trump is a symptom of that.
So no, he is in no way what anywhere near a majority, or even near half, of Americans choose.
