Giving Credit To Trump
IF ONE IS a "Never Trumper", one must, if one has integrity, be careful to not automatically dislike everything Trump says and does, but instead, to avaluate every word and deed objectively, fairly. That is precisely the process by which congress is currently investigating president Trump. Sworn testimony and documentation by several Trump administration insiders has established the facts, especially the salient, inarguable fact of the president's traitorous treachery. The next step is to let the experts, many experts on constitutional law, tell us whether the testimony gathered so far warrants impeachment of Trump, and whether it warrants his conviction for high crimes and removal from office. Among Trump's defenders are two schools; those who insist that he did nothing wrong, and those who admit that he did, but that it doesn't warrant removal nor impeachment. both schools of thought seem logically, factually, intellectually....weak. One law professor after another will have testified that Trump is a criminal who should be impeached, triad, convicted, and removed from office, and still Trump's supporters will, incredibly, continue to defend him. On two key issues I agree with and support Trump. NATO members should all pay their fair share. Also, china is a human rights nightmare, and should be held accountable for it. Fair trade and economic relationships with China could be better established by united pressure from the entire world, instead of Trump trying to do it by himself. And, to be honest, the United States, a human rights nightmare itself, does not have a great deal of moral superiority in insisting that China, or anyone else, clean up its human rights behavior. That is the sad and tragic fact; the United States might at one time have possessed more moral credibility than it does now, under Trump. That sad fact might be the best reason of all to remove and replace the president.
