Trump — Forgive! Forgive!
There’s power in forgiving. Lots of it.
What power?
The power of healing.
But you’re not using it.
Your going after your political adversaries doesn’t make you look good.
It makes you look small instead. Makes you look petty and diminished.
So resist that impulse. Fight it. Get help, if necessary.
I’m surprised that, since you have a lot of supporters in the religious Right,
that you don’t have some of them whispering in your ear, ‘easy man, forgiveness is good for your soul, good for your mind. It lets you think more clearly.’
Where are those folks?
Find them, let them help you. They’re out there.
Look, we have you as our president for the next 4 years — even if you were to lose the House in the midterm elections- which may or may not happen.
So we, regular Americans, need to help you become a true leader.
We need to help you concentrate on the big things, not the little ones.
Tariffs are little things, with potentially dangerous consequences, but little overall, compared to the war in Ukraine and their heroic fight for freedom.
Find forgiveness in your heart, man. You’ll become a better person. And we’ll all benefit from it.
There are clear examples today on the world stage of the absence of forgiving.
Putin is one. With his repeated atrocities, he becomes smaller and smaller as a man.
He goes around smiling as he orders the firing of more missiles unto Ukraine with horrendous consequences.
You don’t want to be like…
