“...Trump is a statesman, something we haven’t seen in many decades.”
******************************************************************************
Perhaps...and we will likely see once he is elected.
Some consider his personality to be identical to the personalities of members of a high school’s “mean girls” clique and a poseur.
Others consider him to be near God-like and approaching divinity.
My assessment is that he is likely closer to the former.
My assessment is that he is closer to Samuel Adams and Patrick Henry.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.â€
― Samuel Adams
“What is it the gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God. I know not what coarse others may take, but as for me GiVE ME LIBERTY or GIVE ME DEATH!”
Patrick Henry
