You know, you make a good point. His children seem like very well raised kids. My wife and I had a conversation about that awhile ago. His kids are great and they love him. So he must be a good father. But I'm glad he can be an a-hole to the rest of the world. I don't want a nice person in office. He'd have his lunch money taken from him. For the same reason, I don't hire nice lawyers. I want jackals for lawyers. I want winners. Trump is a winner. Who else could have withstood the full force of the swamp for 2 years and still remain standing? As for me? I have two beautiful and successful children, who I'm very proud of and who love me back. I'm still with my wife after 34 years of marriage and I managed not to cheat on her, unlike our President. Why do so many people insist on idolizing our Presidents? They are people, just like you and me. They have flaws. They are not perfect and they are not Kings. They serve a purpose, which is the purpose we elected them to serve and nothing more. You know why I have a problem with cult of personalities? That's what Socialists and Communists do, make their leaders into gods. Look over in China. They have the Cult of Mao and now Xi Jin Ping. In Russia, they have the Cult of Stalin, Lenin, and Marx. In Latin America, they have the Cult of Castro and Simon Bolivar. Let's not bring that shit here to the US. We live in a country where the lowest man or woman on the totem pole has the chance to rise to become the highest man or woman on the totem pole. We all have equal opportunities to maximize our potential. No one, not even Trump, is better than you or me. He is just our President for a few short years and then there will be another. Let's leave it at that.
