I agree that his language wasn’t great. The appropriate language should have been to either not say anything or at least also criticize Trumps generally corrupt ways. It sounds to me similar to praising the strict animal welfare laws in Germany under the Nazis. I am all for banning vivisection and making animal cruelty illegal. That was a good thing, done by horrible people. If I say those laws were good, it doesn’t mean I’m a Nazi. But still, it wouldn’t look good.
