Both Extremes Wrong

In the highly partisan post-Mueller report environment, most paint President Trump's outcome as either black or white, either armageddon or exoneration. Refreshingly, Jonah Goldberg writes in the San Francisco Chronicle that in truth it is neither.

The President is clearly no choirboy, and he isn't a traitorous Satan either, and Goldberg says as much. We go on from here, sadly much as before.

To most of us who voted for him, Trump is exactly who we knew him to be when he got our vote ... warts and all. To those who found him repulsive then, he is more so now ... is anyone surprised no opinions have changed? I'm not.

We voted for an ambitious guy who has tried many things, succeeded at quite a few and failed at more than a few too. As President he has been the same, with perhaps a somewhat better win-loss ratio.

The country is booming, nearly everybody who wants a job has one, many conservative judges have been confirmed and we haven't started any new wars. Aren't you glad you aren't a Democrat trying to argue that everything sucks?

What sucks is cities which have decided its okay to let crazy people shoot heroin and crap on the sidewalks. And those cities are all run by Democrats, who just can't help themselves. Orderly, clean Switzerland looks better every year.
