There can be no real strength in a man who has no character.
Without character one can, at best, be a bully.
I’ve long said this about Donald Trump. But the myth of his “strength” has held no sway over anyone here, I’m sure. Because our eyes are open.
The eyes of Sam Clench of news.com.au have now been opened too.
I will only post his introduction. Read the entire piece, as he explains Trump superbly.
GIVE Donald Trump the benefit of the doubt.
Assume he didn’t collude with Russia.
Vladimir Putin doesn’t have any dirt on him.
He has never relied on tainted Russian money.
He isn’t gullible enough to believe Mr Putin’s lies, or morally deficient enough to excuse them.
He isn’t too stupid to know what he’s talking about or too lazy to do his job properly.
Accept all those things. Grant Mr Trump every charity, rig each assumption in his favour, and the best possible interpretation of his subservient, bootlicking performance at last night’s summit with Mr Putin is that he’s a coward.
