Trump: Not a great man

The opinion expressed by Mr. Thomas is not only stunning, but delusional from the standpoint of its content being based on the delusions of President Trump’s adversaries. ~ Denunciation of military veterans. / A letter written by a Gold Star Father to Sheriff Joe Arpaio to express his disgust “over inflammatory remarks made by General John Kelly” and relate to Sheriff Arpaio he and his wife’s “firsthand experience with President Trump’s love for the military, especially Gold Star Families” expressed his heartfelt gratitude for President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump having spent three hours with Gold Star Families at a 2019 ceremony honoring Gold Star Families, an annual event they host not publicized in the press. This Gold Star Father is convinced of President Trump’s love for the military, veterans, and Gold Star Families and he is ready to do whatever is necessary to defend President Trump’s honor. ~ Sketch of Jesus sitting beside President Trump in a Manhattan courtroom. / No, the implication of President Trump having shared that sketch on his Truth Social website meaning he “is being persecuted as Jesus was persecuted” is not clear and should not be misconstrued as blasphemy. For evangelical supporters, the interpretation may well a reminder of “The Great Commission” Jesus gave to the Apostles, “... And behold, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, TO THE END OF THE AGE.” (Matthew 28:20) ~ Treason / According to Merriam-Webster, treason is “the offense of attempting by overt actions to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance...the betrayal of a trust (treachery).” If anyone is found guilty of treason in this country, the law is clear that death is one of the sentences to be administered: 18 U.S. Code § 2381 - Treason ~ Looters, Women, Language, Deportment / Naïve idealists deny the magnitude of crime running rampant in this country that becomes more dangerous to innocent citizens each day. Something has to be done and it is not stirring incitement when calling for legal means to protect this country’s citizenry. / While most women are not comfortable with the off-color language Donald Trump (as a celebrity and private citizen) used, women understand women and will not deny the truth of what he said--some women are “receptive” to certain male advancements while others are not. / With regard to profanity, some people have no problem, but others strongly object—especially when it comes to the most vulgar word being flaunted by people who think it fashionable, or kids who think it cool. Without question, the preference would be for President Trump to rise above such vulgarity and, instead, be an exceptional role model for this country and the world. / This country has seen the publically “refined deportment” of some politicians of stature to learn later of their less than honorable real life; what most people prefer is a straight-arrow and that is President Trump—a man who respects and strives to live within the boundaries of the Constitution, not circumventing, dishonoring, or disregarding the Constitution. ~ While he dodged the draft five times with a limp excuse about bone spurs. / As has been pointed out elsewhere, if Donald Trump was guilty of draft dodging, he would have spent time in jail. Bone spurs are caused by the breaking down of cartilage and can be painful; if the knee, painful to extend or bend the leg; if affecting the spinal cord or nerve roots, they can cause weakness or numbness in arms or leg; if the hip, can reduce range of motion. Unless people have walked in President Trump’s shoes since he came down the escalator in 2015, they have no idea what it is like to live 24/7/365 for eight years of irrational, unmitigated hatred, schemes, and plots to destroy him and, in doing so, the ripple effect on his family. “Judge not...” (Matthew 7:1-3) “Judging others makes us blind, whereas love is illuminating. By judging others we blind ourselves to our own evil and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are.” (Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a Lutheran pastor, theologian, anti-Nazi dissident known for his staunch resistance to the Nazi dictatorship that included vocal opposition to Hitler's euthanasia program and genocidal persecution of the Jews. Pastor Bonhoeffer, at the age of 39, was hanged on April 9, 1945 as the Nazi regime was collapsing.)

Wow! This author has a very bad case of TDS. He should seek psychiatric help immediately.

Jewish World Review? I thought this piece was from the National Review. Textbook example of TDS.

Beautifully written #1 Thank you. As for Thomas , he couldn't ever have withstood the filth and lies of the kind thrown at President Trump. A man and his family that have been dragged through political fires and sewers for what???? And to what end? We the people that support the man know and I suspect people like Thomas knows also. Thomas is a coward to assault President Trump AND his people in the disgusting manner he has. But I know the president will get by these storms just as he has all the rest. Why? Because they are LIES and those like Thomas that spew them will lose. God Bless President Trump . MAGA

I believe it is a slanderous lie that Trump denigrated those who died or were maimed defending the country. I have never seen any proof of that while there are numerous witnesses refuting that he ever did so. It’s one thing to criticize his rough talk. I have deplored some of his insults and braggadocio but when all is said and done the only important aspect of the man is how he governed the country. He did a great job. That’s the only thing rational voters should care about. Cal Thomas does himself a grave disservice by this unhinged rant that explodes from his pen.

I'll betcha PIAPS is a great lady and the usurper in chief is a staunch patriot in this guy's book.

Don't like Trump, don't vote for him then. However, Cal Thomas, like every other never Trumper will focus on Trump s character flaws (they want a saint) and ignore what he actually did and achieved as President. You may not like the words he uses , that he des not use pretty, bug words like RINO Republican intellectuals; but Trump got results. If he had not had Democrat and RINO opposition to some agenda items, as well as COVID, he would achieved a lot more positive things for the USA. Again, people like Cal Thomas forget all about that in search of an ineffective saint.

I call BS on the Kelly story. Just another general who was bought off by the Deep State, like Mattis and Petraeus. It's no coincidence that America has not won a war since 1945. As for Milley, they shot Eddie Slovik for much less.

In my opinion, Cal Thomas is not a great man, not an honest man and not an ethical man. His opinion is best ignored in my opinion.

Cal should go on his TV show and talk about it. Oh that's right...

Trump poses a threat to the Constitution? Biden and the Democrats totally ignore the Constitution as though they are Sovereign Kings rather than governing in accordance with the laws laid down in the Constitution. As was said by Rep. Phil Hare "I don't worry about the Constitution.

Bushite Thomas has swallowed the GOPe Kool-Ade - - and become drunk with lies and delusions. He's been hanging out with Karl Rove far too long.

Isn’t this guy a used car salesman? Or am I thinking about a different Cal?

What the heck got into Cal? I used to follow him in the past, I must have missed his conversion to the darker side.

It only takes one phone call - "nice government pension and Tricare benefits you have there" - to Kelly, Patraeus, Mattis, et al. to get them to say whatever the string-pullers want them to say. Hero to zero in 10 seconds flat - in my opinion.

Disgusting tripe!

And to think I used to respect Cal Thomas. The bitterness drips from each poisoned word, and the venom is directed at me for being such a carnal evangelical. This is the ranting of someone frustrated because he has lost all influence.

Projection is strong in this one.

If Trump was a Democrat with the same personality but all in for liberal causes Democrats would love him, would defend and admire his ability to "cut through all the BS!" Like Trump himself says: It's not me they hate! I'm just in the way!

"Trump is drawing all attention to him, which is his intent. He correctly says that with each new indictment, his poll numbers go up. That says a lot about his followers' low requirements for high office." No, the problem isn't Trump supporters with "low requirements for high office." The problem is the delusional sub-culture that has sprung up around destroying Donald Trump. Well-off, and well-connected hangers-on, failed candidates, corrupt agency officials, politicians and globalist worshiping actors decided amongst themselves they're entitled to "approve" which candidates Americans are allowed to choose from. That self-serving idea came about around the time Donald Trump announced his 2016 presidential candidacy, and the Russia Hoax was created. Note that these players are the same folks who pretend to worry about "Our Democracy" as if they own it. These privileged peacocks are dedicated to the notion that Donald Trump (who brought prosperity to middle America) has no right to run for president without approval from the Country Club Set. In fact, they're openly talking about ordinary citizens who don't agree with them needing to be "deprogrammed." That's not the way democracies operate. It's way would-be dictators seek to impose their will on their "subjects." The elites got their way with Biden's presidency. He won! And we're supposed to believe Donald Trump and his supporters are the problem? Perhaps the real problem is that our "betters" seek to end American sovereignty via wealth redistribution. Maybe losing our own sovereignty to globalist authorities poses a greater threat to our national interests, than Donald Trump. Like his supporters, Donald Trump can think for himself.

I told myself when I saw this article that I must read the whole thing --- well ,,, I got to the third paragraph and had to stop when he mentioned kelly the back stabbing derelict whom our President put so much faith in and made him his "Chief of Staff) but that's neither here nor there. Cal Thomas, you washed up phony, who made your living through the Conservative populace in this country you should be ashamed of yourself for writing such dribble --- go write for the CPUSA, they are more your level, now

#12 nailed it

I am dismayed at Cal Thomas. All the poster who call BS vis a vis Kelly are correct, but there is another BS to call. Trump said Milly was a traitor for calling the Chinese military behind his CIC's back and pledging to inform them of any future US military actions against his the chicoms. Sad about Thomas. Smear writer.

Cal, I never knew ya’.

Allow me to supply some trivia about Cal, the auto salesman, for the benefit of #13. That was Cal Worthington who owned car sales outlets in Southern California. Ad jingle chorus went "Go see Cal, go see Cal, go see Cal". I watched a lot of grade Z movies on late-night TV, and Cal was inescapable. His promise was "If I can't make you a better deal, I'll eat a bug!" He and Ralph Williams were great fun.

I won't bore you all with a personal encounter that I had with Cal Thomas so I'll cut to the chase. If you look up sanctimonious in the dictionary, it should have a picture of Cal Thomas right next to it. He is beyond insufferable.

Cal Thomas should go ahead and vote for brain-dead Biden then, with all his incompetence and corruption. I hope he loses everything in the ensuing catastrophe.

President Trump isn’t a perfect man ( He was crucified a long time ago ) , but Trump is the necessary man for us/US now .

News flash....Cal Thomas is Not a great man!!!

Maybe if the Deep State and their Pentagon lackeys had devoted the same effort to destroying the Taliban and ISIS as they have trying to destroy Trump and MAGA, America would not have lost the "War on Terror." Because we did.

Cal was born in 1942 and served in the army armed forces radio while in the army. Seems to me he got a cush. assignment at a time he was in the right age group to serve in combat in Nam. In the rear with the gear.

Cal Thomas on the other hand DID Join the army, to be a radio DJ, a short stint at Armed Forces radio. NYC. Has been getting paid to run his mouth ever since, he is the former President of "The Moral Majority" and a pretty hardcore(stonethrowing) Evangelical. His most "Popular Show" was with his "Democrat Partner" Bob Beckel(who has had much kinder things to say about Trump than THIS)

Go Suck an Egg, Cal Thomas! The filthy lie about Trump disparaging the military while touring Normandy Beaches was totally trashed by Trump-hater John Bolton, who WAS THERE! Cal, go collect your 30 pieces of silver

I guess Cal has been hanging around with Bill Krystol and Jonah, maybe LIzard Cheney, too.

OK, Cal - who then?

One other thing, Cal. Looters should be shot. It should have started a long time ago.

Sooooo many things wrong with our once-great nation, with so many genuine threats to our non-democracy; and Cal aims his vitriol at Donald Trump. I'm almost embarrassed for him, but he's just not worth the trouble.

By Cal's standards, I suppose David, with that business with Uriah the Hittite and Bathsheba; and Moses, the man who murdered a cruel Egytian overseer and buried his body in the sand, were not "great" men either. Yet they were the imperfect men perfectly suited, in the opinion of EHYEH, to lead HIS people in times of existential crisis.

And you are , Cal?

Another Deep State actor who was assigned to play a conservative, and has for decades, fetched up and wrecked on the Trump Reef, destroying his career with his terminal case of TDS.

I wonder if the real Cal is in a nursing home and this was written by a woke bot who commandeered his account?

Many dodged the Vietnam draft. I now think Johnson and his Military Industrial Complex should be outed and displayed as the genocidal monsters they are, right along side Hitler, Mao, and Stalin. They started the war to enrich the MIC and test weapons, while spending American lives.

Thomas is king of the rino's. He as conservative as Bush

Says the stenographer of the Khazarian World Review. Dogtrack time, Cal.

I assume his next column will be dedicated to destroying FJB. He is no prize.

#4~ With heartfelt gratitude and humility, “thank you” most sincerely. Prayers for President Trump, his family, our country.

Pearl clutcher.

Cal Thomas just jumped the shark, exactly like Ann Coulter. How sad. Both of them managed to ruin their professional careers with self-inflected injuries.

This guy was the spokesman for the original Jerry Falwell "Moral Majority." They all fooled us. Thomas, Buchanan. Gingrich...They were all in on it.

Don't care. Can he crush Democrats? Can he crush the Deep State? He is the only one who will even try. No one else even comes close.

To paraphrase Forrest Gump: Greatness is as greatness does. Trump done great. 'Nuff said.

Blow it out you Cal, Thomas.

Thomas????? I thought he had died. He long ago left the ranks of the listened to. He had and apparently still has no stomach for the day to day combat of politics in America today.

Always a blowhard. Same sort of snob talk as George Will and about as tough. You want to side with the uniparty, be man enough to admit it.
