Washington had a country that was united in it’s desire to succeed and to tell the British to go home, not at all like the 45% of this country that are $hit people today, most of whom have come here as “immigrants” to see if they can subvert our form of government.

The country was broke, the British were still at war with France and a large number of Americans wanted to repay French support for our revolution with military support for theirs, and there was a new government that nobody really had figured out how to run yet and what the roles and powers of the different branches really were. Washington was a universally beloved national figure who could have made the Presidency a virtual monarchy. Not only did he resist that but he established the precedent of self-limiting the Presidential terms to just two, a precedent that was followed by every subsequent President until FDR made himself President for life.

Bottom line: Washington was President of a new nation that was on the brink and he set it on a firm foundation and then walked away. Magnificent President.

“Bottom line: Washington was President of a new nation that was on the brink and he set it on a firm foundation and then walked away. Magnificent President.”

Quite true! I still believe that the complexity of our current government, makes Trump a contender. The times are totally different, and as I posted, the country had a more united citizenry in Washington’s time than it does today. Problems are more easily solved when a significant majority supports the government. Today we are a house divided, which makes governance a whole lot more problematic. A large portion of our populace today want’s to do away with our Republic thanks to immigration and our public education system and it’s lying spew. We also have a hostile press today, bent on the same idea of doing away with our Republic.
