The president is becoming a symbol of good for everyone who does not think he is a symbol of evil
For three years, we have been told what Donald Trump is. We have been told that he is a racist, a xenophobe, a misogynist, a white supremacist, a demagogue, a Russian spy. The charges vary from extreme, unproven and serious to the bizarrely particular and trivial. We have for instance been repeatedly told that it is important that he has tiny hands, or silly hair, or eats McDonald’s.
Whether or not you agree with the many criticisms of Trump, there is one charge that supporters and detractors admit the truth of: Trump is divisive. But what does that mean? It does not necessarily mean, as the mainstream media always tell us, that he should be hated or considered dangerous. It could just mean that he reveals the deep faultlines in contemporary politics. Ironically, it is the continual vicious determination of his opponents to tell us how to view him that causes these divisions. Anti-Trump invective has had an effect on both sides of the debate. It has hardened the attitudes of supporters and opponents to the point at which Trump is no longer discussed as if we are talking about a human being. To his enemies, he is everything that is wrong with traditional ‘white America.’ To supporters he is ‘God Emperor Trump’, the last defender of an embattled set of American values that are everywhere threatened.
He is not a person, nor even merely a president. He is a symbol.

he last defender of an embattled set of American values that are everywhere threatened....
Well yeah, he is.
And I am basking in his presidency and each day is a gift.
And he is not just a “band aid”.
BUT, is he a penicillin that you take 5 days and then stop and the illness comes back again??
I guess we will find out in the later 2020s.
For now, i say prayers that Trump is protected by the Only God there is.
Do you know what it took to defeat the American Left and all of its madness, and the Republican Party with all of its fecklessness?
A man.
No, I mean an actual man, not like Eric Swalwell, or Mitt Romney or Marco Rubio and every other sniveling vagina of a man in our political parties.
An actual man with balls.
How rare. How unbelievably f***ing rare.
There is apparently only one of those left, and he arrived as if sent by God, and I believe he was.
I am so sick of emasculating women and the eunuchs they have made.
I don’t know what’s going to happen after Trump, but have no intent whatsoever of supporting Republican girly men and the women who made them.
I’m not playing this game anymore.
...Or has two scoops of ice creme while mere mortals have one
The DemocRAT Pols don't want White Voters. That much is Obvious.
Thats one of the many reasons I love this President.He takes the fight to these losers and never lifts.
No, Trump is not god to me. This guy is an idiot. I can criticize Trump, whereas a liberal will lynch anyone for disrespecting the president when it was Obama.
Well, we do have the “God has no grandchildren” problem. And that’s life on earth. Nobody promised that we could nail heaven down on earth.
It would be like even the patient who recovers when taking the penicillin will eventually die from some other cause. Does that mean the penicillin failed? No. But it did successfully address what it was intended to address.
How low brow.
Well said, chris.
Agree with your philosophy of choosing the Alphas among us. The tricky part is there are quite a few “tough guys” owned by the Elites. The Bushes, for example. The McCain.
I don't know why all of the white leftists out there denouncing their own privilege don't just kill themselves. Wouldn't that solve their dilemma?
It would make America a better place, for sure if they did.
Not Jeb. He may be owned by the elites, but tough? Ha ha ha ha ha ha...
None of those people are tough guys.
They are all dishonest politicians and whores.
My opinion is that we are going to have to do away with the machinery of government soon, because we are not producing people capable of using it in such a way that all the rest of us don’t end up enslaved and dead.
I’m not even sure who I would even want to vote for after Trump, because as a country we are just not producing leaders.
you make a very good point, Chris.
The pool of people to choose from is mighty slim.
One clue would be to find another highly successful American entrepreneur. Would not just a CEO of a large corporation because they are another form of competition.
Charlie Kirk in a few years would make the grade perhaps.
I believe God Emperor Trump was taken from Dune.
Well, the elites don’t own McCain, anymore; he’s permanently PWN3D.
