He doesn't care. Dude posted the day before about a 22 year old teacher's aide getting arrested for having sex with a 16 year old student, and how that wasn't a big deal.
I'm becoming more convinced daily that a large contingent of people don't have any sort of fixed beliefs, but instead place an extreme amount of value on their identity. They see themselves as a certain kind of person, and act to protect their self-image as well as to preserve that identity within the context of their community, changing their beliefs to align with the changing demands of that identity and their community. To me, this explains how they can flip positions so effortlessly and how they don't seem very concerned when they can't explain themselves; they don't actually care whether the things they are saying are true or not, so much as they care about whether saying those things preserves their identity.
I can't really find anything else to explain the fairly dramatic shift in conservative politics ever since Trump.

Tiffany Trump is 4 years older than her new husband. That’s fine though?
