I apologize if anyone is offended, but we HAD a man that was pre-determined in his thought processes and we didn't have the revolution we should have had when we saw him SO attacked by the enemy

If we had a “revolution” we would be branded domestic terrorists and hunted down.
Not that that’s a bad thing.

Great blast from the past.

Trump was on top of what was going on, in 1988.

Trump was on top of what was going on, in 1988.

While Trump was spot on with this interview and was spot on building the best economy the world has ever seen in his short time as POTUS, he failed miserably (IMHO) in two areas.

The first was staff selection. More appointees stabbed him in the back than most other presidents.

The second was lack of understanding, concern, and ability to halt the rot that was progressing in academia. I think that we are where we are today because of those two failures.

A President is not omnipotent. Within the constraints of his authority, what exactly could Trump have done to fix the rot of academia? Withhold federal funding from the bad apples? That wouldn’t change them. They’d get the money from elsewhere (Soros etc.).

I find as I age, there are windows that are open for some and not others at the same time.

I was impelled to post this yesterday.

I agree, and even in hindsight, we’re of mixed opinions.

He appointed DeVoss of AMWAY heritage because she was a staunch believer in individualism and entrepreneurship and disagreed with the public school system.

She was a disappointment to ME because WE had home schooled and understood what it was and I never saw develop what I thought could or should.

Glad you posted it. One of my favorites.

Excellent.

Nothing to apologize for.

We had a gem in that man.
