Trump had me at “wall”.
Often men willing to take risks will take risks across the board. If Schindler hadn't been willing to 'take on' the fathers of young women he might not have had the personality to take on the Nazis. Flip side of the coin...
Love him or hate him, during Trump’s presidency,
the economy was strong,
markets were up,
inflation was under control,
gas prices were low,
illegal border crossings were down,
crime was lower,
trade deals were renegotiated,
ISIS was defeated,
NATO allies were stepping up,
and China was stepping back (a little).
Deny all that if you want to. The point here is that something like 100 million Americans believe it, strongly, and are bewildered and angered by elite hatred for the man they think delivered it.
Nor was Trump’s record all that radical—much less so than that of Joe Biden, who is using school-lunch funding to push gender ideology on poor kids, to cite but one example. Trump’s core agenda—border protection, trade balance, foreign restraint—was quite moderate, both intrinsically and in comparison to past Republican and Democratic precedent.
And that’s before we even get to the fact that Trump neglected much of his own agenda in favor of the old Chamber of Commerce, fusionist, Reaganite, Conservatism, Inc., agenda. Corporate tax cuts, deregulation, and bombing Syria: These are all things Trump’s base doesn’t want, but the oligarchs desperately do, which Trump gave them. And still they try to destroy him.

Excellent - thanks for the link
That is what I have read about some of our early Presidents - Washington Jefferson, Adams and others. They would drink with the common man at taverns.
