I realize that with a POTUS like Obama in office, Putin looks pretty damn good right now. That doesn’t make Putin any less of a thug. It makes Obama all the more pathetic and feckless.
World leaders respected and feared Reagan, who upheld the dignity of the office. Trump’s petty behavior is beneath the dignity of the office.
I applaud his effective pushback against biased media and political correctness. These actions are not that.
The 1980s are over. This is not the time or the place for dignity as you describe it. We can no longer afford that luxury.
This is closer to the Civil War. As Lincoln once said of a certain boozy, uncouth, nasty general: “I can’t spare this man; he fights.”
Are you going to lose with what you perceive as dignity or fight and win however you can?

Not to worry, my FRiend, not to worry:
The Donald assured us yesterday that after he is elected, he will be so diplomatic, so polite, so PC that it will make your head spin. His presidential dignity, as he reaches out to Pelosi and Putin, will be yuuuge!
In other words, the Anointed One admits that his current bluster and bombast are merely parts of a skilled act, meant to deceive the legions of suckers who hunger for snake oil. Once in office, he says he’ll make nice with the leaders of the American Left as well as the worldwide enemies of Liberty.
In the meantime, the cult followers march joyfully along behind their Pied Piper, never suspecting how Dear Leader Trump is inwardly chuckling at the naivete and gullibility of those who now worship his every utterance.
