Thank you Robert Mueller. Since the day Donald Trump became president, I have searched for a deed, a character trait, an action, a quote, something of the president that I could be proud of and that I could point to as an example for my grandchildren to be proud of and to emulate.
Of course, there are the affairs with porn stars and the subsequent cash payments for silence, which could be an obstruction of justice. Then there is the bashing of our allies while at the same time cuddling up to the likes of Vladimir Putin, Kim Jung Un, the Saudi prince, etc. Then there is the insulting and bullying by Trump of those who don’t agree with him. Sadly, this includes insulting a deceased American hero.
Then there is the management style of stacking the cabinet with yes men. Dissenting opinions are not appreciated and life is simpler if everyone agrees with you.
Just when I was about to give up, Mueller gave me something I could finally embrace.
“Grandkids, apparently the president of the United States is not guilty of treason.”
