Trump campaign ad targeting mail-in voters, featuring Esper and Milley, raises ethics questions

Trump will use any and all means to attempt to get the votes. It does not matter to him if it is illegal or unethical. As we all know, he cares nothing about the law and does not understand the word ethical.

Of course. This president doesn't care about norms or any of the normal guardrails meant to protect our form of government, he only care about personally winning. He supporters don't care either, because anything he does is good for them. If someone else did it, then they would suddenly care.

He did it without telling them - just like not telling them about the church photo op until they got there.
