Trump: A Flawed Champion
American Thinker.com ^ | October 27, 2020 | Ted Noel

Posted on 10/27/2020 9:32:32 AM PDT by Kaslin

Many pundits suggest that if you haven’t made up your mind by now on your choice for President, you haven’t been paying attention. They’re largely correct, but there are some (a minority) who are paying attention and are seeing a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. (Apologies to Winston Churchill) This may be best exemplified by David French’s recent column where he quotes theologian John Piper at length. The upshot of his post is that a leader’s immorality destroys society. To that end, he cites “unrepentant sexual immorality,” “unrepentant boastfulness,” “unrepentant vulgarity,” and “unrepentant factiousness” as key markers of unsuitability in a leader.

French’s list is a #NeverTrumper’s transparent slap at Donald Trump. Historically, Trump was a womanizer. His verbal style is boastful and vulgar. He is accused of being a divider. For the one who’s not paying attention, Joe Biden’s claim that this election is about character seals the deal. Vote Biden! But we have to peel back the layers of this onion.

On the charge of sexual immorality, we must compare Trump’s ancient history with Biden’s continuing fondling of women and excuses for his son’s profligate behavior. Recent revelations point to worse. Joe keeps on keepin’ on, while Donald is notably faithful to Melania.

We’ve all heard Donald Trump’s statements about his “tremendous” company, “beautiful” buildings, and “fantastic” golf courses. Supposedly this is evidence of narcissism, a major character flaw. But pundits who have grown up near Trump in Queens recognize this a simply local style. Apparently, many people from Queens speak this way as a daily part of life. Brooklyn has a different flavor, and Indiana (VP Pence’s home) is radically different.

Ainsley Earhardt from FOX and Friends was talking this morning to some women who had not made a decision on who they would vote for.

My opinion is if they don't know one week before the election who they want to vote for, they should not be allowed to vote.

The same goes for men of course.

Sounds like theater.

Possible interpretation: she wants to vote for Trump but is afraid her knitting circle will banish her. But she doesnt want to lie. So she says "gee, I don't know"

“Donald Trump went to Washington to make your life better, while Joe Biden went to Washington to make his life better. Becoming a multimillionaire without ever holding a productive job is all the evidence we need.”

Ballgame.

Response to Mr. David French and the other few remaining anti-Trumpers - so you would rather have as president a senile old man, whose VP is the farthest left senator and whose father advocated communism, who is a crook on the take, who advocates overturning a conservative Supreme Court, who has a son accused of child porn?? Don’t quote me the garbage from a sanctimonious “better than thou” complete phony who would do his best to wreck this country in the name of lies and phony pious purity.

Liberal pussy ass losers. Screw em

Our great and wonderful president is the greatest president in the history of the United States he spends every waking moment thinking about what he can do for this country and its people who he loves dearly

anybody that can’t see that it’s just a biased moron who wants socialism or is just a selfish little brat. Like this inane immature author.

Trying to convince us they were “undecided”.

Anyone “undecided” in a town hall lately has been a plant.

Are we electing a pope or a leader who keeps his campaign promises and gets things done which others never did?

French’s list is a #NeverTrumper’s transparent slap at Donald Trump.

God used Gideon. God used Jehu. God used Peter. God uses flawed people, including and especially me. GOD IS USING TRUMP.

I hate to say this, but Trump would make a better pope than the present pope, and that's even with Paula White as his papal advisor.

“unrepentant sexual immorality,”
Playing grabsies with little girls in public, repeated unwanted personal space invasions to women of all ages. Enabling his son’s lechery. Credible accusations of much worse. And CURRENT.

“unrepentant boastfulness,”
C’mon man. Ask Corn Pop if it’s all true. Just ask him!

“unrepentant vulgarity,”
“Balls of steel” comment to a father at his son’s funeral.

“unrepentant factiousness” Teamed up with Obama to get in middle America’s faces, pull out a gun if we show a hint of a fight. Accuse the president of being the most racist president of modern times. Not checking Pelosi or the Squad.

If it fills their rice bowls, then yes. They will. They are amoral scum and all their opinion pieces all along have been nothing but cynical panderings in return for column-inches.

I think the sign of a TRUE hero is that they are indeed flawed, but their innate goodness is so powerful that it still allows them to overcome the flaws to become great.

You nailed it quite nicely in just 2 sentences. Well done.

Donald Trump: so many people out there claim he’s flawed but they’re are unable to articulate precisely what they’re talking about.

Ditto on that’s how people from Queens talk. But also it’s why so many people from the Midwest don’t like Queens...at first. But once you get to know the people tyou learn to look past that. I have heard “Beautiful piece of meat” to describe a steak.

We should be grateful he ran as a Republican since that is how Queens rolls. He could have just as easily ran as a Dem albeit a 1980s blue dog Democrat.
