Trump could well be the stupidest US President so far. He is certainly an infantile, vain, despicable, and craven petty tyrant. If you approve of such a person, then it doesn’t reflect well on you.

It is far more difficult to gin up opposition to an organisation that is divulging criminal behaviour than it is to smear an individual. Assange was foolish to make himself such an easy target. Why make it easy for the people coming after you?

When the message is unassailable, you attack the messenger. Assange has made the mistake of tying his personal celebrity / ego to his organisation, and is paying the price for that.

What these agreements seem to really be is a Trojan horse to lock in corporate profits and tax avoidance. This is easy enough to figure out if you look at who is pushing for them, and the obsession with keeping the details away from independent scrutiny.
