I just told you, he never remarks or updates publically on Trump’s character.
This means one of two things: (a) he’s on board with it, or (b) he’s not, but runs interference for it anyways.
It is not enough to support Trump unconditionally (which a lot of Trump supporters do *) to be a shill, you also need a megaphone. Supporting Trump unconditionally, but without a megaphone, merely makes one an idiot.
(*) Incidentally, I think something like 70% of polled Trump supporters said they think Trump should continue to lead even if we find out Russia helped get him elected.
The issue here isn’t that he’s a Trump supporter, the issue is he does not update on some aspects of Trump. Not updating + megaphone = the essence of shilldom, and the antithesis of rationality.
Right—because he’s a shill. What’s the connection between shilling and rationality?
Rationality is supposed to bend in the winds of evidence. Shilling does not bend, shilling made its choice.
What is your evidence that he is a shill? Millions of Americans support Trump, are they all shills?

edit: In case still not clear, here is another shill: http://thememoryhole2.org/blog/scaramucci-tweets
Safe to ignore the commentary, just look at stuff he actually said.
edit: re: “no obvious payoff in sight for shilling”, he’s now gone. Food for thought for other shills.
