Donald Trump: pledging his life, his fortune, and his sacred honor
By Olivia Murray
The closing line of the American Declaration reads as follows:
And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honour [sic].
For Donald Trump, his allegiance and dedication to the patriot’s cause and America has been tested; and, where the rubber met the road, he held fast to the spirit of America’s founding (and still does). It is this genuine and lived-out attitude of self-sacrifice for a future of hope and liberty that has earned him so many enemies in so many high places.
Of course, the disclaimer, and allow me to be very clear: Trump is not a savior (for me, that’s Jesus and Jesus alone). But…
The immediate anti-Trump response is to remind us that he’s not perfect; Democrats will quickly fire off false talking points (“very fine people”), Republicans will cite legitimate lapses in judgment in Trump’s personal life, or “mean” tweets, or his bad hires. Now to the first point, those who are without sin should cast the first stone. To the second? I personally love Trump’s politically incorrect approach and actually applaud it, but objectively, “mean” implies vindictiveness and spitefulness towards an innocent party, and none of the people on the receiving end of Trump’s “mean tweets” have ever been undeserving. (Also, if you’re upset about words like “lame” and “loser” then you need to toughen way up and hope you never have to experience the tyranny that Trump is trying to repel back.)
