CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JUNE 16, 2023
SOMEONE ASKED ME DURING AN INTERVIEW FOR MY NEW BOOK “A WATCHMAN IN THE NIGHT” IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO HOLD TWO CONTRADICTORY VIEWS ABOUT DONALD TRUMP. I BELIEVE IT IS.
I AGREE WITH A RECENT WALL STREET JOURNAL EDITORIAL WHICH FAULTS THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT AND SPECIAL PROSECUTOR JACK SMITH FOR FURTHER DIVIDING AN ALREADY DIVIDED COUNTRY. THE EDITORIAL SAYS ATTORNEY GENERAL MERRICK GARLAND’S INDICTMENT OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT IS A “MUSGUIDED USE OF PROSECUTORIAL POWER.”
ON THE OTHER HAND, TRUMP’S ARROGANCE, RECKLESS HANDLING OF DOCUMENTS AND OTHER BEHAVIOR ARE SELF-DESTRUCTIVE.
IS THIS REALLY WHAT REPUBLICAN PRIMARY VOTERS WANT? SINCE TRUMP LOST THE 2020 ELECTION, NO MATTER WHAT SOME OF HIS SUPPORTERS THINK, AND TWO KEY CANDIDATES IN GEORGIA WHO HAD HIS ENDORSEMENT LOST, GIVING THE SENATE A DEMOCRAT MAJORITY – AND SINCE INDEPENDENTS WHO ARE KEY TO WINNING ELECTIONS HAVE MOSTLY ABANDONED HIM, TRUMP IS RUNNING ON REVENGE AND ANGER.
THERE’S TIME FOR SOMEONE ELSE WITHOUT ALL OF TRUMP’S BAGGAGE. IT’S A TIME FOR CHOOSING AS RONALD REAGAN ONCE SAID AND IT’S ALWAYS TIME TO PRAY FOR REVIVAL IN AMERICA. I’M CAL THOMAS
