Did he run for President to be my role model? I evaluate him the same way I evaluate my plumber. If my pipes get fixed, we’re good.https://twitter.com/JonahDispatch/status/1029533858658742275 …

If the plumber assaulted your neighbor’s wife and gossiped against you with your worst enemy and tracked mud through your house would you still judge him strictly on whether he did a good job on your pipes? Externalities matter.

Excellent point. If Trump messes up my house and hits on my girlfriend I will change my opinion.

Many people see that Trump is messing up our house, including our finances. You just keep blowing off these valid concerns about our plumber/president as TDS.

Adams won’t defend his metaphor because he can’t. It’s easier to pretend that I made up the metaphor. Instead he falls back on weak literalism. Joke’s on him.

Because they are excellent for explaining a point. You used it as an argument. Different use.

So you weren’t making an argument in favor of ignoring the externalities of the Trump presidency. You were illustrating a point that as long as he fixes problems nothing else matters. Tell me more about the difference between those two things.
