Facebook, but there might be someone from Twitter or at random who does not see
my occasional FB posts, so…]
I want Donald Trump to
succeed as President of the USA. I want him to be a good president. I pray for
him. I am distressed by folks who say “He is not my president,” or “We shall
resist him at every point.” That is what many did to Barack Obama. The results
were disastrous, not because Obama did not try to be a good president, or did
not have the skills to be a good president, but because his opponents
determined ahead of time to resist everything he did and said, regardless of
whether it would be good for America.
I want Trump to be the
best president we have ever had, just as I wanted Obama to be the best
president we ever had. Obama had what it took to be a great president, but his
opponents determined ahead of time that they would resist everything he said and
did, even if it were something they favored. That is the classic example of “cutting
off your nose to spite your face.” It was stupid and destructive and
disastrous.
I will resist Trump every
time he does or says something that is un-American. I will not determine ahead
of time that that includes everything he says and does. I hope he’ll do good
things for America and the world. If he does, I’ll cheer. If he does not, I’ll
resist. If everyone had tried to help President Obama succeed instead of trying
to make him fail, the world would be much better off. I don’t want to repeat
that with President Trump.
