Wrong. This is not the 1700s. The last thing America needs is yet another law clerk turned career government politician.
We don’t need someone who can recite law. We need a real leader capable of bringing this disaster back from the brink at the hands of corrupt politicians in D.C.
Learn it.
I didn’t notice NYC got saved.
The 1700s weren't ancient Greece, ancient Rome, or medieval Europe, which were the experimental ground the Founders used to design a government where liberty and virtue would flourish. And yet the principles they pulled from their research worked, because human nature doesn't change.
The whole Leftist error is built on the Progressive vision--a faith that you, like the Democrats, seem to cherish--which holds that the present is unique, human nature evolves, and the lessons of the past are useless. Leftist experiments in government always fail in the same ways: tyranny, bankruptcy, and slaughter. That's because human nature does not, in fact, change. Which is why we must put our faith in principles, rather than princes--even if they are named Trump and have proved themselves in business and television. I don't think he understands enough of the mechanics and effects of governing not to lead us into more of the same trouble we're in.
You're correct that Trump has some excellent leadership qualities. But his inability to "recite law" where it doesn't concern leases and contracts is a stopper, and his incomprehension of the separation of powers--on which our liberty rests--is a dangerous flaw. And I can't detect any curiosity on his part to learn what he doesn't know.
Trump is a man on a horse. A wonderful thing in battle. I don't think he'd be our worst President, by any means. He has some great instincts, and his breaking the glass of PC has been a service to all humanity. But he's basically a Progressive. He thinks that he, as the embodiment of the Federal government, can do anything. He's wrong, and that's not what we need.
George Washington was a man on a horse who understood that statecraft is a craft, and that the principles that guide the way we build and execute laws have frighteningly powerful leverage on human destiny. A leader needs to know which direction to lead.
