Reason: clarification.

You first said that Donald Trump did not support Roy Moore.

I never said Trump didn't "support" Moore, "support" in the sense that Trump urged people to vote for Moore. That "support" was backhanded at worse & half-hearted at best with Trump talking out of both sides of his mouth.

now you bring up campaigning. You can support someone without going out of your way to campaign for him.

I brought up campaigning because of the reason that Trump wasn't campaigning for Moore.

"Vote for Roy Moore. Why am I not campaigning for him? It is not presidential business or any other reason I could cite, I just think Roy Moore, the guy I told you to vote for, has credible allegations of rape against him."

That sends a negative message to the voters, a negative message that Trump intentially sent because Trump wanted to look like a King Maker and Moore winning would have made Trump look bad for supporting Luther Strange over Moore in the primaries. Trump got to gloat about "Moore being unelectable" and that Trump made the "correct" choice in choosing Strange, while it was Trump's actions that made Moore look terrible to would-be Republican voters.
