Say a word of praise for....

Sitting by the window in an empty restaurant, happy when rain stopped falling outside, Gavin and Michael began to argue.

“He’s eighty years old, dyes his hair, adores beautiful women. Seeing a beautiful woman touches a nerve he can’t resist,” Michael laughed. “He put a slender blonde and a dark-haired Venus in his cabinet, packed the White House with beautiful women.”

Gavin smiled. “That’s just your politics talking – you loathe Trump.”

“He also made one of his lawyers, who had an Italian movie stars face, U.S. Attorney near his hometown.” Voice calm Michael continued, “When a judge gave her the boot a billionaire, wanting a pardon, hired her, agreed to pay her $50 million over the next four years. And Trump pardoned him.”

Gavin lost a bit of politeness. “I hope you’re not going to start raving about pardons again. You’ve already been down that road.”

‘Alright,” Michael nodded. “So how about this: Trump promised he’d drain the swamp but in the White House, with both the Senate and Congress under his thumb, he made the swamp bigger and deeper and wider. To win the election he promised he’d send every voter a $5000 check if Republicans won.People flocked to the polls but Republicans lost in a landslide due to corruption.”

“Ole Trump’s tough – don’t count him out,” Gavin grunted.

“I don’t,” Michael nodded. “Still, you have to give every day working Americans credit – to stop corruption they turned down $5000 checks.”
