>>>I think that if the media and world hadn’t been pressing Trump from day 1 or rather even before he took office, he wouldn’t have had to go so extreme.
The rov of my shul almost never mentions politics (maybe once in five years) I have no idea what his personal political views are . Even so he did once make the point that Hashem is mevakash es nirdof even is a Tzadik is being rodef a Rasha . And in the case of Trump the people being rodef him aren’t tzadikim…

Just making the point that the ENDLESS investigations and allegations (many proven false already) against Trump being made by open enemies with obvious personal gain and even impeachment trials being judged by open enemies who weren’t even paying lip service to listening to both sides before deciding how they would vote is totally incompatible with Halacha and Torah Haskafa and frum people should realize that
