How does reading Haidt help here, though? I know people have different moral foundations, but we should rise above some of them, not? After all, Haidt's foundations are only *descriptive.*
If you're outraged by @potus saying this, or you're outraged by anyone disagreeing with it, you need to read about the 'Loyalty' dimension of human moral psychology in 'The Righteous Mind' by @JonHaidthttps://twitter.com/thehill/status/999658304644243457 …

But everyone still acts shocked that descriptively there's real variance on these moral foundations.

I read this book, and I'm nonetheless outraged. Perhaps I have a difficult time with the hypocrisy of appealing to group loyalty after draft dodging and subsequently criticizing war veterans' service.

I have a Rob Kurzban book to recommend about that...

Haidt’s Moral Foundations Theory is descriptive, rather than a normative theory. Using this logic, virtually any moral system can be justified. As Haidt notes in The Righteous Mind, the Nazis would score very high in the binding foundations.
