Every single day Trump must rise above a nest of vipers, serpents and wolves put to destroy him s he does so with wit and style.

Trump is the bravest man, the wisest man and the most inspiring man the Republic Has known since Washington.

Trump is sustained by the prayers of many and the favor of God almighty.

God doesn’t pick perfect people. He knew what he was doing in appointing Trump and at this moment of all moments.

Washington wanted to appear to be the individual in the the ruling class least personally interested in securing and holding political power. He agonized over the ramifications of any action he might take on his personal reputation for disinterested dedication to the public good rather than private gain. Now that you mention it, Trump and Washington are somewhat similar in this regard. But where Washington obsessed over his reputation among the social, political, and military elite, Trump focuses relentlessly on how he is viewed by the common man. The elites in British North America and in the new United States of America were by and large apparently generally morally upright and felt themselves naturally bound by social and cultural constraints as to appropriate behavior toward their fellow man (Aaron Burr and to a lesser extent Alexander Hamilton being notable exceptions). That may account for Washington’s appeal to them as arbiters or a measuring stick, solely qualified to determine who had the “right stuff” to preside over the Continental Army (1775-1783), the Constitutional Convention (1787), and the new country’s federal government (1789-1797). Trump of course recognizes that that same class has suffered from so much rot for so long that an entirely new locus of civic morality now exists. Like Washington, Trump is determined to appeal to it and it alone come hell or high water.
