Maggot does defend Trump fairly often but I don't see that re the nuke code conspiracy. If those codes weren't changed frequently that in itself would be a huge scandal if it was revealed.
I personally think Trump is in many ways a disgusting excuse for a human being, as evidenced by his conduct in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, among many other examples. That doesn't mean that everything the beltway pundits say about him is true, because lying is the rule when it comes to American "journalism". One of the most damaging things about partisan politics is that the two parties will only admit this when it's the other side that's doing the lying. Partisans have no ability to look within themselves, all they ever do is point their fingers at other people who aren't in lockstep with their party line, and they have no ability to engage in honest dialog.
