i haven't respected any president since jfk though jimmy tried to be what he sold himself as, and since then jimmy has been quite respectable. trump has proven himself since the election to be what we knew him to be before, though its fun watching those who wanted him to swear he'd respect the election results when it seemed the hildabeest would be appointed. the following article gets into how those who haven't respected that 'election' have sunk as low as it seems possible and points out some interesting bits;

The headline was a stunner: “For Once, I’m Grateful For Trump.”
Even more shocking was the column’s author: New York Times columnist Bret Stephens.

At great risk of alienating his Trump-hating readership at the Times, Stephens carefully explained why he is relieved a man he detests now sits in the Oval Office. From evidence-free accusations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh to grandstanding, hypocritical senators, Stephens admitted he was reluctant to make such a heretical confession in the pages of a newspaper committed to destroying the Supreme Court nominee:

I’m grateful because Trump has not backed down in the face of the slipperiness, hypocrisy and dangerous standard-setting deployed by opponents of Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination. I’m grateful because ferocious and even crass obstinacy has its uses in life, and never more so than in the face of sly moral bullying. I’m grateful because he’s a big fat hammer fending off a razor-sharp dagger.

The piece was not well-received by Times readers. As of Friday morning, there were more than 3,500 comments, mostly tantrums by progressives about Stephens’s viewpoint.
