...is unforgivably stupid and/or ignorant and/or hateful. Don't forget: Americans who couldn't even bother to vote to prevent a Trump presidency aren't worthy of trust either.

Having a bare minimum of voters necessary to counteract Trump supporters is not enough to create "trust", merely "Whew! Just barely enough brains and decency to save us until the next election!"

In a truly trustworthy America Trump wouldn't and couldn't become the Republican nominee, and as their nominee anyway, would be running an immensely safe 20-30% behind Harris, behind Biden before Biden dropped out, and even 10% behind any warm body with a pulse and a (D) after their name.
