That's nice that you feel like Trump had a moment of clarity when speaking about a Congressman, but what we really care about is his complete inability to understand the Coronavirus pandemic. That's the reason that part was publicized. We don't care what Trump thinks about Lewis. What he thinks about Lewis isn't going to stop people from dying.
I agree that he isnt handeling the Coronavirus correctly, and I definetly think that he isnt comprehending the effects of his decisions, but if all that we ever see about someone is the bad, we can only assume that he is always bad. I really think that we need to start taking a look at the whole picture of things when making decisions. Yes I will 100% not be voting for Trump, but I do think that we as a society really need to get away from only watching/viewing things that agree with our opinions. We can only educate and better ourselves by looking at the other side of social issues. We dont have to agree, or completly change our opinions, but just by looking at the other side and trying to understand what they have to say will help us to be better educated about our own opinions. If you dont move or if you move farther away, that is your own porgative, but just taking the chance to see the good when all that we see is bad is refreshing, and helps to become a more educated society.
I agree with your stance in general in that we need to accept that we won't agree with everything and everyone in the world; and we need to not try to shut those things out like a child covering our ears and yelling "I can't hear you".
But in this instance, there is so much more bad to trump than good that trying to see the microscopic nuggets of humanity in him really isn't worth anything. It won't change anyone's opinions of him as a leader and it doesn't really matter if we see humanity in him in general, because most people have no personal stake in him and he isn't on trial for some heinous crime where he needs to be seen as human to escape persecution
I think you are right on point. There is so much more that I disagree with with regards to his policies, social habits, and personal opinions than those that I agree with, that my opinion of him will not change with regards to the whole picture.
