President Trump: The American Spectator Man of the Year
The American Spectator ^ | 11/30/2017

Posted on 12/02/2017 2:53:53 PM PST by Pollard

The words were spoken by Edward Stuyvesant Bragg, a one-time Union general in the Civil War turned-Congressman from Wisconsin. At the 1884 Democratic National Convention, Bragg, then a congressional candidate, was selected to second the nomination of New York Governor Grover Cleveland for president. Cleveland had made his reputation as governor by being a staunch opponent of New York City’s corrupt Tammany Hall political machine, fearlessly taking on members of his own party as he championed reform of state government.

Thus it was that Bragg stepped to the podium of the party’s National Convention and uttered the phrase that would wind up being remembered through the years and be shortened to the last part: “… they love him most for the enemies he has made.”

For that reason alone — and there are many others — The American Spectator’s founder and editor-in-chief R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. is pleased to announce that President Donald J. Trump has been chosen as The American Spectator’s Man of the Year.

If Trump gives the word many of us (millons) would converge on DC to “aid” in the cleansing process.

I love what Trump is doing, but we’re only 17%s of the century in ... I think perhaps we should wait till we get to at least 75-80% before we start handing out that title.
