Triumph for Trump

The French recently reopened Notre Dame cathedral, gutted 5 years ago in a fire. President-elect Donald Trump was on hand for the festivities and his reception was (pardon the pun) triumphal. 

World leaders rushed to ‘kiss the ring’ and get on his good side. What seems clear in hindsight is that Joe Biden’s frailty and lack of energy has been worrisome for leaders of those other nations which are not openly in opposition to US leadership. 

Winning the Nov. 5 election made Trump the leader of the free world, over two months before his actual inauguration. I’m guessing you join me in wishing he uses his clout wisely on behalf of our national interest. 

If Trump can continue movement on the Abraham accords and get some of the world’s hot spots to stop fighting, it will be a plus.
