OPINION:
Much is made of former President Donald Trump’s tweets, outspokenness, comportment and dietary habits. Mr. Trump had goals when he was in office, and despite many obstacles in his way he achieved most of them in just four years. The world’s tyrants were in check, Middle East peace was being achieved and the American economy was so strong it was able to buffer a hard-charging COVID-19 pandemic.
Yes, Mr. Trump ruffled feathers, but the birds flew — with freedom of movement, speech and the ability to cat-bird their objections and opinions. When Mr. Trump was president, both the U.S. and the world were in a much better place.
