I don't support him for President.
I don't think most Republicans do. He has a fanatical ~30% support that will never go away, even if he peed on the flag. Most of the rest of the Republican support appears to be "if it's him or a Dem, I vote him". And then there are the "no Trump, no way" Republicans who either abstain or vote Dem instead of Trump.
Meanwhile, he will rally a lot of people to the blue side to oppose him (as he did in 2020). Unless the Rep primaries are severely divided (like in 2016), I don't think he will win the nomination again.
I'm not sure what the Netherlands are doing different from Seattle, but they have legalized hard drugs and no real problem with crime and homelessness. Somehow they have a handle on it. Maybe they have better services to handle those issues? In which case, Seattle isn't "wrong"; they're just incomplete in their addressing of the issue.
I was in Seattle last month. Yes, there is a visible problem in the area around Pike Street, near the rail stop. A few blocks of vagrants and obvious druggies. They didn't pay any attention to us as we walked by. I also noted a large police presence near the rail stop (I forget the name of the other rail stop nearby...College?). Though at one point walking to the Starbucks with the huge vats (not Pike Street), I did hear a gunshot. Some woman standing waiting for the light asked "what was that". I said "sounded like a gunshot". "You're kidding." "Nope".
