Of highest character

Oh, how I wish I had a president of the highest, most impeccable character. One who lived faithfully with his first wife, was truly a pious and humble believer in the deity, with a sterling reputation for honesty, steadfastly dedicated to his principles, and constantly mindful that his every word, every action, every deed reflected on the nation as whole, and therefore measured and carefully deliberate in all his pronouncements and public actions.

Such was the example set by George Washington, still head and shoulders the greatest president we have ever had. Alas, George was not on the ballot last time.

Nonetheless, I rise every morning and thank God Almighty that we do have a president who is more attuned to the teachings of Adam Smith than Saul Alinsky, one who does not think our Constitution an impediment to his plans to fundamentally change America forever, who places the interests of American citizens over those of illegal invaders or anti-American international bodies, one who has not received hundreds of millions to give foreign dictators the ability to kill our families, one who will give us judges that actually will follow the Constitution, and reduce rather than grow the size of our leviathan bureaucracy. Perhaps most of all I thank God I don’t have a president who weaponizes the IRS and the FBI as instruments of protection for his friends and destruction for his enemies.

Congratulations, Democrats! I used to detest Donald Trump, but the more you hate him and use dishonesty to try to undo the last election, the more you make me like him. KARL T. KIMBALL
