I was skeptical about a Donald Trump presidency from the moment he announced he was running. With his lack of experience and brash, take-no-prisoners style, I questioned whether he could ever be an effective leader.
But I'll be the first to admit I was dead wrong. In scarcely a week, Donald J. Trump has proven himself to be one of the greatest presidents in the history of the United States. Possibly better than Washington, better than Jefferson, better even than Lincoln? Because every one of those leaders took years to set America on a better course, often with great collateral damage. But with a few, brilliantly-chosen policy changes and inspired ideas for groundbreaking legislation, Trump has steered our country off the path of destruction and doom and set it gliding down a highway toward unmatched prosperity and glory.
But I don't want to oversimplify things by giving all the credit to President Trump's superior intellect. We must also acknowledge his powerful charisma -- a life force and appeal that has with startling speed reinvigorated the very spirit of the American people. With his thousand-watt smile and movie star swagger, he has ignited a vibrant new patriotism that has swept like a brush fire across this great land.
Just as he promised, President Trump has Made America Great Again. He has accomplished everything he said he would and in world record time. Which is why leaving office, at the top of his game, would seal his reputation as the greatest leader in modern history -- perhaps in the history of mankind.
Because, honestly, things can only go downhill from here.
Therefore, and I think I will find widespread agreement on this, I propose a farewell to our Beloved Commander-in-Chief like this country has never seen. A "thank you" parade across the breadth of our nation and ending in Washington DC, where we will unveil a scale model of our dear President. It will be taller than the Washington Monument, more emotionally-moving than the Lincoln Memorial, and it will be amazing and beautiful, and it will last forever.
And so I say to President Trump, God bless you, our fair-haired prince! A You shall be beloved forever and remembered long after the last star in the last galaxy has burned out. Fare thee well our American Hero! Godspeed!
Definitely agree that God’s hand is obvious in President Trump’s election and his actions thus far.
Eight years, not eight days.
MAGA!!
Eight years for President Trump, not eight days.
First comes the revolution (Obama), then the counter-revolution (Trump). It’s not clear from history who survives in the end.
France: Robespierre, then he’s gone, and it ends up with Napoleon.
Russia: The Reds take over; then the Whites fight back for five or six years, although the Reds eventually win.
Egypt: Aided by Obama, the Muslim Brotherhood overthrows Nasser; but patriot Al-Sisi leads a successful counter-revolution.
Turkey: Ataturk leads a revolution that brings stability for several generations. But, now comes Islamist Erdogan.
The author does not get it -
Trump’s work to fix government has only just begun.... he is getting the easy stuff he promised off his desk in short order and then he will move on to the other things he has talked about for over a decade - efficiency, fraud, top-down reviews, entitlement reforms, restructuring our debt, etc etc.......
The winning has only just begun!
Based on President Trump’s first days in office I would say that I am delighted and excited about the next eight years, which may be MY last ones, but my children and their families will benefit from a nation restored.
These street and gutter rats that continue the disgusting protests against everything will just have to be tamed....one way or the other.
No idea who Clay Graham is, but welcome to the party!
Donald Trump: Already Our Best President Ever.
Certainly NO President has had a more productive first week!
And has exposed the enemies of America more than ever.
