“I was taken aback by several long minutes of unabashed praise for Trump halfway through the Klepper interview.
He’s the most famous person in history? Are you kidding? Have you heard of Albert Einstein, Julius Ceasar, Isaac Newton, Gandhi? In America alone, he falls well below figures like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, JFK, MLK... Trump will be forgotten within two generations. Seriously, that was an incredibly ignorant thing to say.
But worse still is your position that he is extremely successful and therefore deserves our respect. Objectively and without question, he has succeeded by lying, cheating, and trampling over anyone and everyone that he can, showing barely a hint of moral character.
Donald Trump is not the American success story. He is the embodiment of everything that is ugly and vile and reprehensible about human nature.
This is exactly why Trump was elected. There are too many people like you who somehow lack the ability to stay grounded in some kind of moral frame, and that makes it possible for you to forgive Trump’s behavior and simply... follow.
If you respect Trump for achieving success in the manner that he has, I have exactly zero respect for you.
Unsubscribed.”
