Update re: eyelashes guy

Well, it was bound to happen eventually - eyelashes guy saying something stupid. I sort of liked him, you know, but...
(For those who are not familiar with eyelashes guy: he is a conservative political commentator on CNN and I refer to him as eyelashes guy because what drew my attention to him was that he had really long, noticeable eyelashes. I refer to him as eyelashes guy as well because I kinda don't want him to stumble upon my blog posts fawning over his magnificent eyelashes if he happened to google his name or something because that would just be weird. See the latter half of this post for elaboration on eyelashes guy.)
The stupid thing that eyelashes guy said today is that he thinks/hopes Trump will be a good president. It's stupid because that's what many people, namely conservatives like eyelashes guy, were saying (... no pun intended) throughout the course of Trump's campaign. That he was eventually going to change and start being more presidential. As we saw, that did not happen, so what reason does anyone have to believe that suddenly now that change is going to happen? That is why I think that what eyelashes guy said today is stupid. He still has nice eyelashes, but this is definitely another thing I disagree with him on. Which I suppose isn't particularly surprising seeing as he is a conservative and I am definitely not. Eyelashes guy hopes that Trump is a successful president, which... is not something that I can conscientiously agree with, because it would mean that many of his absolutely abhorrent and appalling policies that he's proposed would be put into action and that the things he stands for (racism, misogyny, xenophobia, ad infinitum) would be normalized in our society, which is something that we just can't stand for. But I guess it's easy for eyelashes guy to say what he said since, well, he has a lot less to lose with Trump as president, being a straight, white man.. :p he doesn't have to worry about racism, misogyny, women's rights, LGBTQ rights, etc because they don't directly affect him as a  straight, white, man.
