 All I defended was his ability to speak English. 
What are you talking about?  Quote, please. 
 
IDK what embarrassment.  Nothing Trump does is a reflection of me or my values except by happenstance.  I have no personal or emotional investment in whether he's competent or not.  I've lived long enough to see multiple P'sOTUS be vilified by half the country and the country to somehow miraculously not explode in a fiery death.  Funny how that works out.  My grandparents fought WWII, and their parents lived through the depression.  Shit's just not that bad these days.  Whatever the hated presidents of the past or present, they have limited power over what change they can actually enact.  Almost none of what they say they want to do or are accused of wanting to do ever happens. 
 
I'm more interested in why people take sides and make irrational assumptions and predictions than what their actual political view is. 
 
If people are going to accuse Trump of being unable to string a sentence together, then I make a note of him showing that ability, that's more about me noting a counter-example to my friend's suggestion than me saying anything about Trump.
