    He‘s still a problem. Having 5 liters of oil dumped on my garage floor is the symptom of a bigger problem. But it‘s still a problem, because I have to clean up the shit from the floor anyways.

      A symptom is not a problem. Fighting symptoms will not solve your problem. Cleaning shit while someone has perpetual diarrhea will not clean your floor.

        My point was that both things are problems. Wen need to solve both. As long as Trump is spewing lies and hate around, we can‘t solve the bigger problem.
