Our impolitic President

President Trump is impolitic! Impolitic I say sir! Why, that he is sometimes and I'm glad he is.

Politics is sometimes described as a blood sport.  With any blood sport, noxious substances other than blood, and visual, audible and olefactory unpleasantries are also essential.  A dirty business to be sure.

The dirtiest man ever to be President was yet exceedingly politic.  He was a very polished speaker, always looked tops and was a genuine charmer in personal contact.  Not for nuthin' was he called Slick Willy. He was skilled in political manuvering and accomplishment. .  He was very politic and also very corrupt. He was the darling of those who today wage an unprecedented, insane onslaught on President Trump.

The real America empowered President Trump because it has exhausted its patience with politics as usual, so it makes sense that we will continue to support one who was not of the political world and who has demonstrated his determination to change it for the better.  His recent statement disparaging "political correctness" rings well and true to us; he showed integrity and gutsiness in simply using the term.

It makes sense to us that a person whose success was outside of government will undergo a period of adjustment to the Presidency, which might even include mistakes. But he's obviously no push over and nobody's shill and that appeals to we who abide in the often rugged everyday world.

I'd say we are alot better off with this boisterous, enthusiastic, sometimes crude real American than we would be with some slicko or with an apologist who dreads being seen as "insensitive".  We owe him much gratitude for preventing  the ascension of a grimly determined and exceedingly base and vindictive politician and for enduring the withering calumny directed at him. He is often accused of being "egotistical".  No one's ego is helped by the kind of truck he has to endure. At 70 and with wealth, he did not have to do this. Jack
