Must read!-----Gaj Wilcox - THIS IS SO WELL WRITTEN THAT I HAVE TO SHARE IT.

(4) Gaj Wilcox - THIS IS SO WELL WRITTEN THAT I HAVE TO SHARE IT.
"THIS IS SO WELL WRITTEN THAT I HAVE TO SHARE IT. 
NO HOLDS BARRED. 
PLAIN AND SIMPLE TRUTH.
This was a response from Don Luttrell to a statement from someone that said Donald Trump knows he will never be the fraction of the man that GHWB was. "
Love this response:

See the source image"I wanted to respond to the comment about Trump knowing that he will never be a fraction of the man that Bush 41 was. 
To be sure, Bush 41 and Trump are very different men. 
Bush was a product of "the greatest generation" and practiced 1980s politics as a gentleman in an era where that was still possible. 
Following Reagan who had been a "Superman" of Presidents, GHWB used much of his 4 years in office finishing up a lot of great things that Reagan had started including the demise of the Soviet Union and the fall of the Iron Curtain. Bush didn't do that, Reagan did, but Bush was there to finish it up for Regan and did a good job not letting it come unwound. 
Unfortunately, GHWB let the economy that Regan had built begin to slip away and because of that and the popularity of "Slick Willy" GHWB didn't get a second bite at the apple. 
On the other hand Trump (of whom I without any shame admit that I am one of his greatest and most steadfast supporters) came into office dealing with an $18 trillion deficit, in the basement GDP, the worst race relations in 40 years, years of Presidential cop-bashing, a gutted military, decimated relations with Israel, and open border "welcome" signs extending from Brownsville to San Diego.
Trump recognized the very dire state of our country and he rolled up his sleeves in the "Trump fashion" and he started putting things in order. 
Is he brash and sometimes a blowhard, you bet! 
Does he kick ass and take names and hope the swamp creatures don't like what he says, no doubt about it! 
Does he sometimes confront various politicians and tell them they are "liars and the truth is not in them", he certainly does! 
And get ready everyone, he is going to continue to do that as long as he is in office, be it 4 years or 8 years. 
It is who he is and I sincerely believe he is who we have needed for a long time. 
Does he say some things sometimes that he shouldn't, yes he sure does. 
Does he tweet sometimes when he should be silent, I can't deny it. 
But no one who is really being honest with themselves or with others can deny that in just two years he has strengthened this country both economically and militarily the likes we have not seen in most of our lifetimes. 
He has let the world know that we once again have the backs of God's chosen Jewish people and before Trump, when was the last time you heard a President praise Christians and kneel and pray with Christian leaders in the oval office and ask them to pray for him and the Presidency. 
He's packing the Supreme Court and hundreds of federal district and appeals courts with conservatives that will help keep this country from totally falling off a cliff for another generation. 
Is he perfect, far from it. 
But neither were David, or Solomon, or Paul, all hideous sinners who God chose to help save his world. 
God doesn't always pick perfect people to do His will, he picks imperfect people to do His perfect will. 
Trump is no David and he's no Solomon and he's certainly no Paul. 
But he is who we needed at the time we needed him most, even though at least half the country doesn't see it that way. 
So in response to David's comments that Trump is no George Bush, he's right... 
But we don't need a GHWB right now, we need a Trump. 
And for all of our sakes and the sake of those who will come behind us, I hope he is around a long time. 
Then when Trump is gone we probably won't see the likes of him again and all of those who hate him can elect themselves another smiling, soft spoken, smooth talking, more Presidential, say what you want to hear swamp creature.
