The strange greatness of Donald Trump
By Grady Means, opinion contributor — 05/06/19 12:00 PM EDT

With the Democrats still trying to throw a Hail-Mueller Pass with time out on the scoreboard and with the economy humming, it’s time to confront the central issue: “Has Donald Trump been an awful, OK, or great president?”

The president, unquestionably, is often appalling in his style. His self-aggrandizing, dreadful treatment of opponents and subordinates, public embrace of homicidal dictators, and rambling speaking style draw a portrait of a leader embarrassing to many Americans. He has been vexing to all sides in Washington. Special counsel Robert Mueller added to this picture in his report on the Russia investigation.

And yet, over his first two years, he has enjoyed remarkable political, diplomatic, policy and leadership success. I personally don’t care for his style of management and governance, but I think there is a case to be made that he has been a great president.

When making the case for Trump, you must start in a defensive hole.

Good article.

History will be the judge not the journo yappers, left or right.
However a reflection.
We are created w/imperfection, so to improve we must change.
Yet to change we must self-examine by listening and reflecting.
But if we are incorrigible/unchangeable, how can we improve?
Trump's Mother understood this about him, 60 years ago but
he never did.
