Advice, Consent, and Dissent

During the campaign of 1860
  a young girl wrote Abe Lincoln a letter
She told him he looked too boyish
  to be Pres. With a beard, he'd do better

Lincoln gave it some thought and declared
  She's right! I'm grateful someone cared...

Eight score years later, a brave soul told Mr. Trump
  If he'd just wear a mask, his support would increase
But Mr. Trump didn't listen; he's no Abraham Lincoln
  You know what happened: In the end he got fleeced

This 'disaster,' as you call him, is going to have the first effective vaccine to his credit, two Arab states making peace with Israel and others on the verge, plus a stock market average (Dow-Jones) topping $30,000 on his resume. I'd say that's pretty good for someone who has faced unprecedented vile hatred since the day he declared his candidacy in 2015... Biden will be lucky to come close to such a record of achievement... Remember, Krish: Americans elect politicians, not saints... Sorry: Trump's no 'clown,' even if he is rough, coarse, and can't match up against Abe Lincoln. (No American President can). ~ Gershon
