Why Trump Is A Great Man
Ben Stein is a long time actor and economist. He did not support Donald Trump in the 2014 primaries but has come to see him for he great man he is.
His wife is dying of the illnesses that comes with old age. But he wrote this beauiful ode not just to America but also to the President who more than many other Americans attack simply because he loves his country.
These are not my words but his, though I wish I had been fluent enough to have written them.
“Please bless every man and woman who has ever stood up and fought for decency and freedom for humanity from the Revolution to the Civil War and every man who fought in the alleys of Cologne against the Nazis and in the alleys of South Central against the immigrant murderers. And every woman who endures the evil pain of childbirth to keep the human race going. And God bless Churchill and Eisenhower and Nixon — the Peacemaker — and FDR and God bless Trump, who is a true hero.
I should tell you that I pray for Trump because he believes in America. He wants an America true to its founding ideals of liberty and free enterprise. I also pray for him because he’s been the victim of the most consistent, slimiest hate campaign since Abraham Lincoln. He hasn’t done anything seriously wrong and yet the media powers treat him as if he were John Wilkes Booth. I don’t like his tariff fights with China but they’ve been robbing us blind in terms of technology for decades now. For the Chinese, there is no stopping point between now and them ruling the earth.
So for this and for many other reasons, I pray for him. I am an economist — student of the allocation of scarce goods — and the scarcest commodity on earth is human dignity. I think Trump gets it. The Chinese who are busy suffocating the earth don’t get it. I pray for them to understand that if they kill the earth, that includes them. If Trump can slow them down, he’s the ultimate environmentalist."
