25. I can almost get my head around this

Wanting to root out the corruption, cronyism, lobbying and money from politics. I'd guess almost everyone, both right and left, wants to see these things gone.

Almost....because if he thinks Trump is going to do this, he is wrong. Information about Trump has been out there for a long time for anyone to take it in. He is the epitomy of corruption and cronyism and it's been well reported over the years even though a lot of media outlets conveniently 'forgot' during the campaign.

So your friend choses to believe a corrupt, cronyist liar over his own good sense and years of information. Sad for him.
