Our Great President is crushing it.by Tim Miller
June 3, 2020
This is not the sort of article you normally see here at The Bulwark, the worlds largest superspreader of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
And to be honest with you, I didnt want to write it. But somebody had to. Because, my goodness, what a week it has been for Donald J. Trump. I do not say this lightly: This might go down in history as one of the greatestif not the greatestdemonstration of leadership the world has ever seen.

Maybe its because the folks in Conservatism Inc. are all just so awed by the presidents performance that theyre struggling to find the right words to describe its magnificence.

If this isnt the four-dimensional chess Trumps media cheerleaders are always talking about, then I dont know what is. I mean, any president could hold an interfaith prayer service or try to heal America. It takes a special kind of leader to make sure that the peaceful protesters get roughed up while looters run free and thenjust as a lagniappestart an international incident with Australia.

Can't remember who said it, but I was watching 'Morning Joe'.

Sometimes I just 'absorb' the first hour, snuggled in bed, with my eyes shut.
