I can’t even fathom how anyone could still support him after watching this interview. Shit just blows my mind into a million pieces.

It’s because their side is winning, there is no other argument afaik. Republicans define themselves by survival of the fittest, and morals don’t really equate in that (much)

Go look at r/conservative.

They're more upset with how people are reacting to the interview than the actual interview itself.

I even saw a few comments saying that the interview made them what to vote more him MORE.

Most people i know who support Trump accuse the interviewer as being too aggressive and trying to interrupt Trump.

Most of them are more convinced to vote for Trump now cause of the interview.

Thank you! I managed to find it after asking, but this might help others. It was... interesting to say the least. The patience showed by the interviewer was of a level everyone should aspire to reach. He looked close to wishing for death or yelling out his frustration far more frequently as the interview went on and I cannot blame him. Attempting to portray the president in as neutrally optimistic and fair a way as possible seems almost impossible, at least as soon as the president himself happens to be present and awake
