Four years later, as President Trump kicks off his campaign for a second term on Tuesday with an eardrum-pounding, packed-to-the-rafters rally in Florida, no one doubts that he is the dominant force in the arena today, the one defining the national conversation as no president has done in generations.
Peter Baker, NYT.
When in the course of human affairs
the President puts on astonishing airs
it behooves citizens to reconsider --
is he a scoundrel, a fool, or a quitter?
To some he's a hero defending our land;
to others a poseur who loves to grandstand.
History someday will settle his hash;
but right now he typifies ev'rything brash.
He's leading us captive, of that I am sure.
But is it to glory or just a detour?
He's seeking to guide us for one more last term.
I wish that the thought did not cause me to squirm . . .
