Washington was such an interesting cat. When you think about what he accomplished at his age, his deliberate demeanor must have been a huge factor. With a couple of notable exceptions, he never burst out in rage or other outwardly expressive emotions even in many situations that normal people would. He firmly believed in maintaining composure and keeping his cool as much as possible. He also kept all friendships at arm's length in terms of personal warmth and vulnerability. He really felt set apart for a monumental task and had to direct all energy to strategy, problems, solutions, weathering storms. His biggest vice was allowing himself to become a founding myth and idol, I suppose it was something to gel the imaginations of the people and motivate them to stand behind a leader who in actual fact didn't quite live up to the legend but it worked psychologically (for people used to a divinely appointed monarch).
I like the Sabo art BTW. Trump is the Energizer Honey Badger and he is going to keep going after the DS until they are destroyed, or they destroy him completely. Which I do not think they have that ability anymore.
When he got REAL serious and even sounded angry is when he was trying to get it through her head that it is not about who wins or loses but, the two things he wants most over in Ukraine were to STOP KILLING PEOPLE and secondly, for the countries over there to put more funding into it than we have, we already gave our share.
It is absolutely amazing to watch Trump at his age. Guy is almost 80 years old.
Talk about having clarity.
He has never drank or done drugs.
Looking back on history, first person that comes to mind is Erwin Rommel, but he was not the leader of a country.
Maybe, George Washington.
Or Admiral Nelson. Kinda spit balling here.
Really, the guy that comes to mind who did lead his country?
Cinncinatus of Rome.
A guy who did not drink or do drugs and was actually asked in his 80's to take control of Rome and lead the country.
If we had leaders in positions of power that cared about this country?
They would be fighting and begging to put Trump back in power.
Truth

Either way, a man for the hour.
Well said, Washington was truly a great man of his time.
There is no America without him.
When i listed off my truly greats of the past?
2 of them did not lead countries.
Rommel and Nelson were so amazing.
Replying to my own comment. Sitting here late at night drinking a beer and smoking a cigar.
Pondering cinncinatus.
Why has this leader never been mentioned in all the documentaries on Rome?
I cannot think of one.
Pretty sure, i learned of him from reading the decline and fall by gibbons in my 20's.
Hehe, over 30 years ago.
Autistic anons should go there!
He's still got "it" even more than ever!
Katie wore an almost identical outfit as Hillary in her final debate with Trump.
A friend noted it was the all white outfits worn by the female left Congress during key votes. Witch?
Wasn't KKK costume all white too?
Yup. Except it was The Squad members who were prominent in white. Don't think they are Klan like HRC, Xiden and company. Two factions of the left.

The way he handled ukraine and russia?
Amazing.
He focused on stop killing and guess what?
Most people do not like innocents dying and we should remind ourselves.
An 18 year old young man thrown into the gauntlet for 70 year old men's purpose?
Not cool or righteous.
