In the case of Donald Trump I think you've got to accept that a lot of what's going on in political discourse is based upon judgement. How the economy works - how people work - what will come to pass - what will not come to pass - what is possible - what is not possible. There is this whole modal dimension. There's a lot in politics that is making a judgement about what might be and can be and would be. Trump frightens a lot of people but there is a bizarre possible world in which it turns out as he's vindicated, though most of us think the evidence is against it.

No speech is ever considered, but only the speaker. It's so much easier to pass judgement on a man than on an idea.

We never know the quality of someone else's life, though we seldom resist the temptation to assume and pass judgement.
