I don't have any problem with someone being a republican or a conservative, but I can't and couldn't understand why someone would support a person like our current POTUS.

88% of Republicans think that Trump has done a good job as president, so if you think supporting Trump is not okay, then you basically do have a problem with someone being a Republican.

40% of the country is Trump supporters, so we shouldn't be surprised when one unicorn founder is a Trump supporter.

> 40% of the country is Trump supporters

Why muddy things? His approval rating isn’t analogous to 40% of our population’s support. It’s the support of individuals who bothered to spend time entertaining the poll. He has a very consistent approval rating with his base but you sound like the PR announcement after one of his rallies with inflated attendance counts.

Polls are usually pretty good at correcting for response rates. Claiming he has a 40% approval rating is hardly the sort of statistic that would be at a rally!
