Professor ZZZ
asks: “Trump is not Stalin but in the history of
national (federal) political figures in this country, I’m wondering … where
[would] you put Trump? … Having a POTUS
so publicly awful along those lines lowers the horrible bar so dramatically
that we will pay for years to come. Not being Stalin but being Roy Cohn is a
hell of a legacy.”
Tillman
responded:
Professor ZZZ asks: “[W]here [would] you put Trump?”
No new, major land war(s) in Asia—so Trump is ahead
of LBJ.
No missile crisis risking an exchange of nuclear
weapons with a superpower—so Trump is ahead of JFK.
No wars of national conquest—so Trump is ahead of
Polk (Texas) and McKinley (Philippines, Cuba).
No move to war after foreign power made full,
reasonable efforts to amicably settle reasons for dispute—so Trump is ahead of
Madison (War of 1812). Under Madison, we burned down the capital of British
North America (York/Toronto), and they returned the favor in Washington. So
Trump beats Madison.
No wars against native American tribes—so Trump is
ahead of [fill in the blank—many such presidents could be listed here].
No wars based on poor intelligence or to prop up
foreign absolute monarchies—so Trump is ahead of both Bush I and Bush II.
Trump has not interned 100,000s of US citizens
based on race—so Trump is ahead of FDR.
Trump has not allowed a U.S. state or territory to
go into civil war and then allow its government to be hijacked by the brigands
who engineered the civil war—so Trump is ahead of [Pierce and] Buchanan (Bleeding Kansas [a/k/a Bloody Kansas, or Border War]).
I still don’t know why President Clinton blew up an
aspirin factory or why Secretary Clinton permitted NATO forces and materiel to
blow up Libya—so Trump probably comes out ahead of both of them too.
Trump is ahead of Woodrow Wilson: World War I, and!
his resegregation of the federal civil service. I grant you that being ahead of
Wilson is not saying much...but then, the nation survived Wilson, and no one
today thinks of Wilson as having lowered the bar vis-a-vis future presidents. Professor
ZZZ seems to be worried about this. He wrote: “Having a POTUS so publicly awful
along those lines lowers the horrible bar so dramatically that we will pay for
years to come.” Really?—Will we pay for it in years to come, or is this just a
shabby slippery slope-type argument?
I cannot say I see much sense in Professor ZZZ’s references
to Roy Cohn. Roy Cohn’s permanent claim to fame is his association with
McCarthy and aggressive anticommunism. Trump, by contrast, has been criticized
for being too close to Putin. It is not exactly the same; actually, the two are
not alike at all.
If words and pretty speeches are the measure of a
president, then Trump comes up short. The question is whether that is the
correct standard for measuring presidents in a dangerous world.

Don't make the same mistake I did. In hindsight I wish I had checked the reviews before investing. Once your money goes in, it's not coming out. That simple. I called and messaged
their finance department over 20 times, trying to withdraw but not once did it go through. Not easy finding reliable help too with so many wolves posing as recovery agents out there. I did manage to however, even if it was quite unorthodox. In any case, if you have any questions about my experience with BB you can reach me on +15623847738 we can do this together
