(6,309 posts).... shame on you for accusing me of defending bad behavior when I have done no such thing. As I said, pointing out character flaws and the motive behind a person's actions is not defending bad behavior.
Let me see if I can put this into a context even you might understand. You have noticed that whenever Trump has a rally, the people on the main floor are not social distancing, nor do many of them wear a mask. That crowd is stationed at least 30 feet or more away from Trump. You will also notice that those people who are sitting directly in back of trump are all wearing masks to a person. So let me ask you, do you think Trump made those people in back of him who are sitting close wear those masks out of his concern for their safety, or for his safety? By your logic, you should be praising Trump's insistence on good behavior for that small group behind him all the while ignoring the health and safety as a larger crowd in front of him. The point being that you are defending a person whose only real concern is for himself, and not for anyone outside of the movie set bubble. I would bet $1000000 that if one of the movie crew were to quit their job and leave the movie set, Tom Cruise's concern for that person would be non-existent. That person was only a concern for Tom Cruise when that person was a threat to him personally.
