You ask “How can you?”
You ask “Have you no pride?”
That just shows your ignorance, and you don’t even know it.
The first rule, of course, is never to ask a question.
The name and face of Our President deserves to be on every government building and document.
A Mixed Martial Arts cage fight on the White House lawn is a beautiful celebration of America.
A gilded triumphal arch is the perfect expression of our nation’s democratic ideals.
President Trump is the greatest peacemaker this nation has ever known.
There are those, maybe, who say these things but don’t believe them.
They are beneath contempt.
I do believe. Every day, more.
Every day, I forget more that embarassment, my former self.
I was never the best.
Now, in His eyes, I am. Or, I can be.
No one but President Trump could have saved us from the invasion of immigrant rapists.
from transgender girls playing sports.
from electric cars.
from Iran.
The perfection we see everywhere around us is all due to You and your wise leadership.
Everything I say is just a way of saying, God bless you, Mr. President.
Without You, I am only what I was before.
Nothing.
