His willingness to let people kiss the ring for acceptance or forgiveness was always his undoing. It's how we wound up getting Trump endorsements for the shittiest Democrat-Lite RINOs that all stabbed him in the back.

They fooled him and once they didn't need him any more they drop the mask.

It may be coming from a good place, or that Christian ideal of forgiveness, but it really does make him look like a chump.
