There's something unusual about the way Donald Trump has treated Roy Moore. Trump never shies away from controversy, and yet, AFAIK, hasn't said or tweeted anything about the news in Alabama. Furthermore, Trump initially endorsed Strange over Moore, despite Moore seemingly being the more "Trumpist" candidate of the two, and very much in line with Trump's favorite guys like Joe Arpaio.
Anyways, I guess what I'm asking is - what is the relationship between these two on a personal level? More specifically, did Trump know something beforehand that told him to keep Moore at arm's length, even if it wasn't anything specific that we know now?
The Trumpist candidate in the race was Mo Brooks. Moore is a soldier of the Cultural Right, not of Trumpism.
