    I don’t see what’s controversial here. This just seems like an independent thinker who evaluates issues on a case-by-case basis rather than blindly adopting the views of any one group as a package deal.

      The tweet where he said Trump’s pick was great and that people forget that the Republican party is the one that fought against Big Tech, blah blah blah.

      Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt for a second and say he isn’t familiar with why that isn’t true since he’s not American.

      He is publicly tweeting something supporting Trump.

      There’s a broad spectrum of people who are flawed which I’m 100% fine with acknowledging publicly that they did something right. But there is a line where it doesn’t matter anymore.

      An extreme example: if I thought of something Hitler did that was good for the German people, should I tweet about it?

      No. Because I don’t want to come off as supporting Hitler.

      Trump and his administration are causing so much awful shit. The wording of Andy’s message wasn’t “Trump sucks but just FYI there’s one small thing he did right”. His wording was simply all positive, leaving the important context that Trump is a fascist out entirely.
