What’s Good About Trump
In my view, Donald Trump is a vile person. I don’t know enough history
to say that he is the worst president that has ever sat in the White House, but
he is certainly at the very bottom—by far—of those who have held that office in
my lifetime.
If that is so, what’s so good? Not anything that he did or said. I
remain puzzled about how Trump got elected. My grasp of the views and motives
of my fellow citizens is insufficient for me to understand how they could vote
for him. Had he run against another red-blooded American man he surely would
not now sit in that White House. But there he is: I ask again, what’s good
about that? The answer: the
reaction of the American public.
To be sure, it helped a lot that Trump was made responsible for serious
offenses to children. That my fellow
citizens will not accept. So, it’s a mixed bag. That’s surely the best kind now
available.
