Excellent essay!

But I'm confused by this one statement:

But, had Franklin Roosevelt applied the normal rules of decorum then, Hitler and the Socialists would barely be five decades into their thousand-year Reich.

Let's see: January 30, 1933 (The "Machtergreifung." Hitler becomes Reichskanzler; the Nazi Party comes to power) plus five decades would take us into the 1980s.

Even if we took 1945 as the base-line, that would only take us into the mid-1990s. Is someone's math wrong here?

Regards,

The despicable Cenk Uygur of the `young Turks’ pays PDJT an unintended compliment by calling him the “Deplorables’ middle finger aimed at progressives”.

Nothing like being saluted by one’s enemies!

Which however underscores Trump’s message to his supporters: “It’s not me they’re after, it’s you. I’m just in the way”.

Confused regarding the Mittens statement. Who would EVER think that? But the other points were well delivered.

I can sum up the popularity of DJT in FOUR words: He keeps his promises.

Donald Trump is a youthful man in his mid-70’s. Why should a POTUS act and sound like an old fart? We can’t have an old man, fuddy-duddy of a President who can’t fight his or her way out of a paper bag! We won’t be making America great again with an old fart for a leader. It’s his youthfulness that they resent and he gets under their skin without even trying...The United States is only 243 years in and is not an old fart of a country like England and France are, so why shouldn’t our President exhibit the youthfulness of the country he leads? Not only is he a great POTUS, he’s a great role model for young American men, whereas the (D) party’s idea of youthfulness is powerfully weak enough to be susceptible to caving in to the intense peer pressure and demands of political correctness.

They ask if I don’t think his tweets are “beneath the dignity of the office.”

Yet there was nothing undignified about thrusting a cigar up a young intern in the Oval Office.

Good catch. The author’s math is off by at least two decades.
