Wonderful quote of George Washington!  Amazing to see such thoughts were discussed freely in Washington's time.

Permit me to shorten and simplify his remarks so Deplorables of the 21st century can better feel the power of Washington's words:

I hope my edits have sharpened Washington's words for modern ears to hear and that I have faithfully following his intent.

I also take heart that Trump is essentially "above Party" and has the just welfare of ALL Americans in mind, not just those of the Party in power.

Thank you!

The beauty and wonder of the wisdom of America's Founders is in their ability to perceive "tyranny" in the words and actions of others, as is illustrated by the words of Edmund Burke (as used in another of my posts yesterday):

"In other countries, the people, more simple, and of a less mercurial cast, judge of an ill principle in government only by an actual grievance; here they anticipate the evil, and judge of the pressure of the grievance by the badness of the principle. They augur misgovernment at a distance, and snuff the approach of tyranny in every tainted breeze." - Edmund Burke, Speech on Conciliation
