On President Trump and Eating Crow

During the last election, I vehemently opposed Trump.  I had good reasons.  Donald Trump showed no reasonable qualifications for the job except enough money to run without party support.  He has a problematic past.  And, he found much of his appeal in a class of voter that represents what is wrong with American politics.  There was simply no good reason to predict that a Donald Trump presidency would be anything short of a disaster.

But, to my shock and amazement, Donald Trump has governed very well.  He has done many of the things that other presidential candidates promised without actually intending to carry through.  He has governed wisely, if brashly, and exposed both the GOP and deep state for what they are. 

Trump's presidency has been plagued with deep state coups, GOP recalcitrance and absolute, violence in streets, war by the left.  Another GOP candidate probably wouldn't have generated this intense, visceral antipathy.  But, another GOP candidate might not have actually kept his word to the voters.  None have in my memory.

So, I have to say that I fully support Donald Trump as my president and will continue to do so as long he was governs well.  Had I known then what I know now, I would probably have voted for him warts and all.
