we are all shocked by this. However I think most of us have been missing the point, Trump does not care about the crimes of Arpaio, Trump's heritage and his father and grandfather are products of the Nazi system, and Trump has shown that he will step over any decent person for a few dollars, he has no empathy at all for anyone. Has no one else noticed he never smiles at his young son or wife, they are only accessories, when did you last see him play with a child of smile at a child.
NOW - Contrast that with Obama.
