Becoming president of the United States is one of the most difficult and consequential achievements for any person, in any place, in the entire world. The climb begins invariably against long odds, the process is grueling for the candidate, his family, and his allies and the prize is immense. With victory comes an informal title, the most powerful man in the world.
Its impossible to begin that journey without a measure of faith in God, sometimes, in your team, sometimes, and in yourself, usually. If you decide to run, there has to be a belief not just that you are up to the challenge of the race and the office, but also that you are the best person available to take up that task. And there is no more enthusiastic congregant in the church of the self than Donald J. Trump.

Totally predictable response from Cuck French. If his messiah Willard met Lil' Kim in Singapore we all know French would write an article the mirror image of this one.

Some have told me that French is a principled conservative. Exactly what he conserves is unknown.

Why, pray tell, would North Korea ever give up nuclear weapons if the race to build the weapons Why? because his nuclear development program got set back to zero when something collapsed that mountain on his labs and storage center. Suddenly all he has is a nerf gun.

Seems to me that the individual who considers himself to have been elevated to a position of "judge," as French appears to have assumed, may also be "a congregant in the church of self."
Just saying!
To: C19fan
Because no President has ever before exhibited narcissistic behavior.

“Meet the New Hubris, Same as the Old Hubris”applies directly to David French, and most of the NR project. Buckley is spinning in his grave.
