Trump – America’s Hired Gun

Dear editor, 

In the ‘old west,’ a town sometimes might hire a gunslinger to ‘clean up their town’, when they hadn’t done it for themselves. When the town was cleaned up, most of the townsfolk hoped the gunslinger would move on. (i.e. not take up residence in their town).

I think Donald J. Trump has a very similar assignment – he’s been hired to ‘clean up Washington’ because the currently elected Washingtonians have not cleaned it up for all of us as yet, and then, if and when he’s done, then Trump should move on.

The majority of voters didn’t want him to go to Washington in the first place, but the system allowed him in, so let’s clean it up, Donald, and get out of town.  Next election, let’s have the majority of us shoot to elect a truer Christian leader rather than the lesser of two evils.

Now, under his reign so far, he has become king of the obsessive tweet, master of denigrating other people’s characters (similar to the pre-election campaign of his 16 opponents), and has American Democracy reeling about the value of the first amendment of free speech by attacking the American media, and the value of the American justice system, by defaming the FBI and the intelligence agencies.

Now hey, that’s a successful hired gun.  But, is that the agenda that needs cleaning up?

He rightly identified Bob Mueller’s efforts as a witch hunt. He just misspelled the word. It’s really a WHICH hunt, or figuring out WHICH of Trump’s hires or appointees or associates are criminals and likely to be getting jail terms. I eagerly await Mr. Mueller’s final list. Currently, 19 indictments and 5 convictions. Oh sure, Trump will pardon them all including himself before he leaves town. But, wow, what a hired gun.

I’m also still hoping that the summit with North Korea happens on June 14 instead of June 12.  Why? Well, that’s Trumps birthday and he can claim all successes are an appropriate wonderful birthday present from Kim Jung Un to him. Nice touch.
