It\u2019s almost become a major parlor game among political pundits to examine why so many voters are so loyal to Trump and why they stand behind him despite overwhelming evidence of his corruption and faithless execution of his duties while president. While the question begs an answer, it enjoins us to repeat ad nauseam the particulars of his presidency and his subsequent actions since 2020 lest voters forget his threat to law and constitutional government.<\/p>\n
One response to my post \u201cOver the Transom\u201d deserves to be reprinted here as it succinctly asks \u201cwhy\u201d and reminds us of Trump\u2019s personal flaws and failures as a leader.<\/p>\n
From Author\/screenwriter Darryl Ponicsan, 9\/3\/2024:<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m always baffled by the people who sit behind him at his rallies. They clearly love him. I want to ask them why.<\/p>\n
Is it his honesty?
\nIs it his statesmanship?
\nIs it his manly physique?
\nOr his natural good looks?

\nIs it his compassion?
\nIs it his decisiveness?
\nOr his stability?
\nIs it his command of the language?
\nIs it his intelligence?
\nIs it his grasp of logic?
\nOr that he takes responsibility?
\nIs it his steadfastness?
\nIs it his love for animals and nature?
\nIs it his military service?
\nOr his courage?
\nIs it his truthfulness?
\nIs it his respect for the law?
\nIs it his appreciation of the arts?
\nOr his business acumen?
\nIs it his generosity?
\nIs it his humility?
\nIs it his sense of humor?
\nOr his work ethic?
\nIs it that he gives credit to others?
\nIs it that he accepts blame himself?
\nIs it his empathy?
\nOr his record of public service?
\nIs it his regard for other cultures?
\nIs it his hospitality?
\nIs it his transparency?
\nOr his respect for our institutions?

\nOr the sacrifices he\u2019s made?
\nIs it his Christianity?
\nIs it his respect for women?
\nIs it his sense of fair play?
\nOr his charitable foundation?<\/p>\n
None of the above? Then what possesses you to say, \u2018Yeah, that\u2019s our guy, we stand with him!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
