Unlike Washington, who continually asked to relinquish his power, Trump continually seeks it.
Trump continually seems it? You must not have been paying attention through his term where he would tell governors to step up and do their jobs instead of the federal government doing everything.
You must not have been paying attention during the vaccine distribution when he said that the shots will be given to each state and the Governors would handle distribution because “they know what works in their state”, only to see many of them cry foul because they didn’t want that responsibility.
And now you’re comparing George Washington(I assume), when they actually were Citizen-Statesman, to what we have now? WOW!!!!
You can think and say what you want, but Pres Trump is the only person that tried to expose what’s been going on for decades. He was just getting started and they got rod of him.
As for “blind allegiance” to one man, give me an alternative? It isn’t allegiance to one man, with Pres Trump. It’s allegiance to what he did. Things that haven’t been done in this country for decades, look out for everyone instead of special interests and donors.
Sorry,he’s right. Trump has managed to keep himself in some check (except using EO, which are really the definition of wielding power - including the fact other EOs can easily be expunged with same, so really not as permanent as genuine, proper legislation). BUT he is all about himself basically. I did everything, I’m the best, this is the best ever, EVER, and everyone loves me there is no way I could lose the election, “cards” showing himself as iconic figures, etc.
He is rather the antithesis of Washington. Who was indispensable, and humble yet confident, temperate yet effective, moral. And adored, rightly so.
