You know, I can understand people who would support Trump and give his behavior a pass because of his campaign promises. But I can't understand being *proud* of his behavior, even though as you point out we see it here every day.
Because payback, retribution and vengeance requires approval and pride in the justification of all means to mete out punishment.
So they become the very thing they pretend to oppose.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly. - Benjamin Franklin
...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775
