An whey do you think that Trump is not corrupt. people have been carried away with the idea of the “Great Man.” Is this your idea of a Great Man? Jackson, Taylor, Grant and Eisenhower were successful generals. Jackson and Ike were successes in Office, mainly because each was at bottom also a successful politician. Eisenhower came to the white House after orchestrating a great political and military alliance, most immediately from running NATO. How does Trump measure up to either man?

Your reply has absolutely nothing to do with what I posted.

Perhaps you meant it for the OP.

We no longer live in an era that produces "greatness" in men.

It's an unfortunate reality, but adapt we must. Technology lets us know everything about everybody, so politicians no longer have private lives. Previous presidents who were considered 'great' - were men we knew very little about on a personal level. We now deal with the nonsense that is pop culture; Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat...ad nauseum.

Social commentators have been clamoring for years about how the high and mighty have to 'identify' with the little guy...the everyday working person. They told us years ago that people vote for 'the guy they'd most like to have a beer with.' Remember (that a**hole) Obama's 'beer summit?' That's what it was all about. Old regular joe....Barack Hussein Obama, Mr. Red, White and Blue - having a brew with his buddies.

Trump has been referred to as a 'blue-collar billionaire.' I still love the guy. But that's just me.
