Criminals are attracted to Donald Trump and vice-versa.

The most ardent and passionate followers of Trump are criminals or criminally-inclined. They are like those that attacked our Capitol on January 6th.

Most of the people that voted for him are not criminals. They only followed the mob.

People like Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Bill Barr, Kevin McCarthy, etc, stand with Trump because they are like him. They are peas in a pod.

When given a choice between the good guy and the bad guy, they choose the bad guy every time. Why do they do that? Are they looking for some sort of affirmation?
