If he doesn't fully explain his position on why he donated to that campaign, then he remains hard to trust.

He seems to be refusing to state his full position on the reasons behind that donation, other than to ask people to take his word that his reasons are reasonable, while using the fact that people are being rude as a defense not to speak publicly on the subject, which isn't entirely reassuring.

Given the response here, I think that just makes him a rational human.

That's just the "No explanation is required because some people have been rude." line of argument I was commenting about though. Iterating it doesn't particularly convince me.
