They're wishy-washy and only care about improving their position in the publics eye.
@ISIDEWITH3wks3W
Do you believe it's fair for politicians to distance themselves from allies when they become controversial, or should loyalty matter more?
@ISIDEWITH3wks3W
How would you feel if a leader you supported suddenly withdrew their support from a close ally due to strategic reasons?
@9LY98CT 3wks3W
I would feel disbelief because the leader I supported just withdrew to a support but it's always their decisions and by this it just make me see a different perspective of the leader I supported.
@9LXVXMZ3wks3W
I don't support trump but I would feel odd about it because out of nowhere you made random decisions based on your actions.
