The Salty Sailor

I imagine this is the feelings a lot of people have!

It is with great pleasure that I share this!

The Salty Sailor

I think the views this mother has about Donald Trump are much like many others.

Her characterization of Trump as the “Salty Sailor” or

as The Fireman paint an excellent picture!!. She has written many

great books about her son and family...

Comment from KAREN VAUGHN Mother of Aaron Vaughn, Navy Seal,

killed during operation enduring freedom in Afghanistan on Aug. 6,

2011

when the CH-47 Chinook helicopter in which he was riding was shot down.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Sometimes God uses the no-nonsense, salty sailor to get the job done.

Appreciating what the man is doing doesn’t mean we worship the salty

sailor or even desire to be like the salty sailor. It doesn’t even

mean God admires the salty sailor. Maybe He just knows he’s necessary

for such a time as this.

I believe with all my heart that God placed that salty sailor in the

White House and gave this nation one more chance in November 2016.

Donald Trump is what he is. He is still the man he was before the

election. And without guilt, I very much admire what that salty sailor

is accomplishing.

He’s not like me. That’s okay with me. I don’t want to be like him. I

will never behave like him. I know we’ve NEVER had a man like him lead

our nation. It’s crazy and a little mind blowing at times. But I can’t

help admire the ability he has to act with his heart rather than a

calculated, PC, think tank-screened, carefully edited script. I still

believe that is WHY he became our President and WHY he’s been able to

handle a landslide of adversity and STILL pass unprecedented amounts

of good legislation for our country AND do great works for MANY other

nations, including Israel .

I’m THRILLED with what he’s doing for my nation, for the cause of

Christ (whether intentional or unintentional, doesn’t matter to me),

and for the concept of rebuilding America and putting her FIRST. I

will not be ashamed of my position because others don’t see him

through the same lens.

Should it matter to me if a fireman drops an f-bomb while he’s pulling

me from a burning building? Would I really care about what came out of

his mouth in those moments? Heck no! I’d CARE about what he was DOING.

He wasn’t sent there to save my soul and I’m not looking to him for

spiritual guidance. All I’m thinking in those moments is, “Thank you,

Jesus, for sending the fireman.”

This man is crass. Okay. He’s not careful with what he says. Okay. You

feel offended that he’s not a typical statesman. Okay. But he is

rebuilding the nation my son died for...the nation I feared was on a

fast track to becoming a hopeless cause. Forgive me if I’m smiling.”

KAREN VAUGHN

They simply deny the success or trivialize it.

“He’s chaotic, they said, and without a policy portfolio.”

Unpredictability is a good thing, dealing with adversaries. Who plays poker with their hand showing?

Hey Trump is a germ-a-phobe, and I am not, but even I would be wont to engage in sexual concourse with a “Porn Starmy Daniels”!

I’m not buying it.
