“Charles Krauthammer on President Trump,” by Jane Campbell

Charles Krauthammer has  taken time off for some surgery, and this is
the first piece of writing I’ve seen, and it is recent.This is from Charles Krauthammer who did not go for Trump, now read what
he thinks of him now!Think this is very interesting indeed and explains pretty well why we are
so sick of both parties!

Charles Krauthammer’s interesting take on Mr. Trump:

To my friends “of a different persuasion” I’m not trying to sell anything
or anyone but I do feel this is an interesting take on our very
controversial president who I truly believe is not Republican or Democrat.

A TAKE ON DONALD TRUMP …

A different take on Donald Trump: (a non-political agenda)

Trump Is Not A Liberal or Conservative, He’s a “Pragmatist.”
(Definition: A pragmatist is someone who is practical and focused on
reaching a goal. A pragmatist usually has a straightforward,
matter-of-fact approach and doesn’t let emotion distract him or her.)

“We recently enjoyed a belated holiday dinner with friends at the home of
other friends. The dinner conversation varied from discussions about
antique glass and china to theology and politics.

At one point, reference was made to Donald Trump being a conservative, to
which I responded that Trump is not a conservative.

I said that I neither view nor do I believe Trump views himself as a
conservative. I stated it was my opinion that Trump is a pragmatist. He
sees a problem and understands it must be fixed. He doesn’t see the
problem as liberal or conservative, he sees it only as a problem. That is a
quality that should be admired and applauded, not condemned. But I get ahead of
myself.

Viewing problems from a Liberal perspective has resulted in the creation
of more problems, more entitlement programs, more victims, more
government, more political correctness, and more attacks on the
working class in all
economic strata.

Viewing things according to the so-called Republican conservative
perspective has brought continued spending and globalism to the detriment
of American interests and well being, denial of what the real problems
are, weak, ineffective, milquetoast, leadership that amounts to Barney Fife
Deputy Sheriff, appeasement oriented and afraid of its own shadow. In
brief, it has brought liberal ideology with a pachyderm as a mascot
juxtaposed to the ass of the Democrat Party.

Immigration isn’t a Republican problem, it isn’t a Liberal problem, it is
a problem that threatens the very fabric and infrastructure of America. It
demands a pragmatic approach not an approach that is intended to appease
one group or another.

The impending collapse of the economy wasn’t a Liberal or Conservative
problem, it is an American problem. That said, until it is viewed as a
problem that demands a common sense approach to resolution, it will never
be fixed because the Democrats and Republicans know only one way to fix
things and the longevity of their impracticality has proven to have no
lasting effect.

Successful businessmen like Donald Trump find ways to make things work,
they do not promise to accommodate.

Trump uniquely understands that China’s manipulation of currency is not a
Republican problem or a Democrat problem. It is a problem that threatens
our financial stability and he understands the proper balance needed to
fix it.

Here again, successful businessmen, like Trump, who have weathered the
changing tides of economic reality understand what is necessary to make
business work, and they, unlike both sides of the political aisle, know
that if something doesn’t work, you don’t continue trying to make it work
hoping that at some point it will.

As a pragmatist, Donald Trump hasn’t made wild pie-in-the-sky promises of
a cell phone in every pocket, free college tuition, and a $15 hour minimum
wage for working the drive-through at Carl’s Hamburgers.

I argue that America needs pragmatists because pragmatists see a problem
and find ways to fix them. They do not see a problem and compound it by
creating more problems.

You may not like Donald Trump, but I suspect that the reason some people
do not like him is because:

(1) he is antithetical to the “good old boy” method of brokering backroom
deals that fatten the coffers of politicians;

(2) they are unaccustomed to hearing a president speak who is
unencumbered
by the financial shackles of those who he owes vis-a-vis donations;

(3) he is someone who is free of idiomatic political ideology;

(4) he says what he is thinking, is unapologetic for his outspoken
thoughts, speaks very straightforward using everyday language that can be
understood by all (and is offensive to some who dislike him anyway) making
him a great communicator, for the most part, does what he says he will do
and;

(5) he is someone who understands that it takes more than hollow promises
and political correctness to make America great again.

Listening to Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders talk about fixing America
is like listening to two lunatics trying to “out crazy” one another. Jeb
Bush, John Kasich and Marco Rubio are owned lock, stock, and barrel by the
bankers, corporations, and big dollar donors funding their campaigns. Bush
can deny it, but common sense tells anyone willing to face facts is that
people don’t give tens of millions without expecting something in return

We have had Democrats and Republican ideologues and what has it brought
us? Are we better off today or worse off? Has it happened overnight or has
it been a steady decline brought on by both parties?

I submit that a pragmatist is just what America needs right now. People
are quick to confuse and despise confidence as arrogance, but that is
common among those who have never accomplished anything in their lives (or
politicians who never really solved a problem, because it’s better to
still have an “issue(s) to be solved,” so re-elect me to solve it, (which
never happens) and those who have always played it safe (again, all
politicians) not willing to risk failure, to try and achieve success).

Donald Trump put his total financial empire at risk in running for
president and certainly did not need or possibly even want the job; that
says it all. He wants success for the U.S. and her citizens because he
loves his country.
